    At least they just blocked the community instead of defederating

    Would you mind explaining the difference?

      Basically they blocked the communities but not the instances they were hosted on, so people on lemmy.world can still interact with posts and comments made by people like me

      Defederating cuts off the whole instance. They just blocked those three piracy communities as far as I understand.
