    Likely a combination of the community having more tech savvy individuals + realising Reddit would fuck over r/Piracy eventually, making more of them follow dbzer0 here when they were overthrown.

      Also r/piracy stayed shut for a while with a direct and easy link to this community. That’s how I found it.

      Plus the downfall of the lemmy.fmhy.ml server, which had a pretty big and active piracy community too.

            Oh yes, I have heard a lot of cases like this related to freenom. They deactivate domains that get traction and resell them at a premium (mostly to spammy ad networks that hoard domains).
