I got engaged and travelled across the Atlantic to be with someone I met on irc

Interesting. Any idea why this is happening to SmokeAPI but not cream?

I used to use aptoide for piracy many years ago. I guess that’s not a thing anymore?

A DNS blocker like pihole, nextdns, adguard etc might help with that.

Also even reccomended torrent search engine websites suck and only crawls through some websites is there any you would rec

Stop using these sources and learn how to use qBittorrent with Jackett. You can search hundreds of trackers all ata once in seconds. You won’t miss anything unless it’s literally just not available anywhere.

creamapi and related tools will not get you banned.

Unless you use them on multiplayer games, wouldn’t try that.

American internet prices are wild.

My most upvoted post of all time is about this very issue https://sh.itjust.works/post/2882678

I migrated away from lemmy.world as a result

Change sorting to “Top 6hr”. I browse by Hot sometimes but that’s my primary sort atm

You’d be better off posting this on a Malaysian community, like !cafe@monyet.cc

They made a announcement here on Lemmy https://lemmy.world/post/3234363

The original was posted on discord. It was:

Removal of Piracy Communities

Earlier today, after review, we blocked and removed several communities that were providing assistance to access copyrighted/pirated material, which is currently not allowed per Rule #1 of our Code of Conduct.

The communities that were removed due to this decision were: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, !piracy@lemmy.ml, !steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

We took this action to protect lemmy.world, lemmy.world’s users, and lemmy.world staff as the material posted in those communities could be problematic for us, because of potential legal issues around copyrighted material and services that provide access to or assitance in obtaining it.

I just block them whenever they pop up on my feed. It is annoying but they have have ~20 active communities on Lemmygrad and Hexbear each, at some point you’ll run out of places to block and they’re gone.

Just block the ‘tankie’ communities and/or subscribe to communities you’re actually interested in instead of browsing c/all

Official statement

lemmy.world hasn’t defedered from lemmy.dbzer0.com entirely, they’ve just blocked the piracy community.

Fair. Personally I’m just sh.itjust.works as my alt instance.

It isn’t instantaneous, it takes time for them to sync up

Yeah it’s weird I know but I’ve wrapped around to liking it lol

I mostly listen to varieties of British music (shoutout !britishmusic@lemmy.world)

I love R&B. I’ve been exploring British country music lately (surprisingly is a lot of it).

Massive fan of grime music (!grime@lemmy.world) (similarish to hip hop but with electronic beats) and its predecessor, UK garage (summery dance music vibes). UK rap in general is a big thing for me. I listen to drill music on occasion but not super often (modern gangster rap basically, although there’s a lot of commercial drill nowadays). Been really into jersey club music lately - I think the beats are really cool.

I have some fondness for dancehall (!dancehall@lemmy.world) and afrobeats music as well.

Other than that, I enjoy (but don’t listen to actively) baile funk, some varieties of house music, deep/original dubstep music (not the screechy dubstep most people think of), reggae, lofi-hiphop, the underground NY hip hop scene
