A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

This bullshit made me nuke my 30k karma account. I hope lemmy won't die month later.

That's literally impossible! An instance may go down, but it will stay cached.

Okie, I'm absolute noob here. Right now I struggle to find night mode. :D

This should somehow be made known outside the fediverse, to bring more people away from reddit and to here

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

please do share. I can only spread the word so much.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I reinvited you in case you care.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

cheers. Rejoined

Haha what the fuck I really did NOT think they would do that to r/piracy of all things. Ah well fuck them and their shitty IPO. I‘m here with you guys for good, the structure of the fediverse suits our purposes and community better anyway.

I would imagine that can lead to legal troubles endorsing r/piracy willingly?

Accepting it is one thing, but forcing it to open is entirely different.

So basically, according to Reddit, they own everything on Reddit. That means all the the CP, hate speech — and in this case, piracy — that are posted on Reddit are Reddit's responsibility. Bold strategy, cotton. They're basically waiving their net neutrality.

Well I guess its time to flood r/piracy with magnet links as soon as the new jannies open it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

why magnet links in particular?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I mean could be any link to copyright material but I generally grab magnet links so shrug

Also worth flooding them with ~~links~~ a map to where they can board the new ship where the 🏴‍☠️ flag still flies high.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

That was enough to get me to officially sign up here.

Obvious that this is automated and will be going out to all subs. They definitely wouldn't go to bat to keep a piracy sub open, unless they're even dumber than I thought.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

automated message, sure. But they demoded just me, which is obviously very exact.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Well, good thing that you prepared well in advance and have already built a nice alternative.

Reddit is done

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This could not be any funnier. Please reddit, take legal control of the piracy subreddit, right as you take the experienced mod team out. I'm sure everything will go fantastic.
