I posted an updated guide on r/Adobe Zii a bit ago. It got taken down last week and I re-posted it here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43935446 Super grateful that this community exists. I posted to r/Adobe Zii that my guide was taken down and warning that it looks like reddit is cracking down on piracy (I am guessing an Adobe spokesperson is abusing reddit's copyright reporting system). Now today reddit emails me saying that I received another copyright warning for posting that my other post was removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeZii/comments/1kioy3i/reddit_took_down_my_adobe_zii_guide/

I decide hey lets try and appeal as there was not any copyrighted material in my post about my guide being removed. Turns out they want my full name, address, and other identifying info to send to the copyright complainant. Not doing that.

Just disappointed as I've actively used reddit for years and love all the communities on this place. Seems like its slowly going down hill. Guess I should have seen that coming with the whole API shenanigans last year.

TL;DR reddit sucks and it does not appear any way to appeal without giving Adobe my info

Not surprising. I almost didn't learn anything new about piracy from it anymore.

Are you going to actually tell us what they took down or just give links to a cesspool?

Slowly going downhill?

I think it's in freefall (but what would I know I don't go there anymore)

...Then stop posting on Reddit? I thought the whole point of us moving here was to get out of the control of Reddit and their shareholders/corporate overlords

Lemmy is the safe island everyone on Reddit knows they can go if it gets entirely unusable.

But, Lemmy is extremely political with fuckall else outside of reposted memes and selfhosting nerds, so we don't really fit the bill for Reddit's normies until they're all ready to come aboard, not that they ever will.

You can open up your own Lemmy instance and ban politics from it.

I don't personally have a problem with it, and without it, there wouldn't be much going on here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

and without it, there wouldn’t be much going on here

We could talk about Linux!

Skill issue.

And yet, post the information on Lemmy anyway. The normies will either find it when someone on Reddit comments that they saw it on Lemmy ("talking about X" is not copyrightable), or they'll find it on Google when it starts indexing Lemmy.

But, Lemmy is extremely political with fuckall else outside of reposted memes

Excuse me we have original memes here! Also cat pictures.

True, I don't think a lot of people I interact with on Reddit will ever move to Lemmy.
But I guess it's okay, because I am getting the stuff which Reddit won't allow so it would be like a cool shadow community.

By the way, how do you think censorship work on Lemmy? I don't have any idea if they can block stuff, like a lot of users are on Lemm.me or Lemmy.world so there mods can control a lot of posts I guess

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Servers can censors you which but generally clown mods in big communities do it.

It doesn't really matter since getting banned by some shiti community for content censorship, just move to another place community.

This is the key benefit of federation, no single actor can cut another person from expressing itself on fedi, just their little fiefdom

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You guys post on Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Reddit gets worse every day.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah just bring your posts here! Quit adding to that dumpster fire. The love and piracy is strong here.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

This is the way, use reddit for info but never feed the parasite any content.

All content should be posted on fedi to seed the future of social media imho

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Thank you for posting here. :)

Wow, I didn't know lemmy knew how to censor addresses like that, cool feature.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

that's your server specific i am pretty sure. i see the meme address

When Reddit went public it was scooped up by hedgies and other nefarious actors. Slowly but surely it is changing for the worse. I just got booted from Reddit on a 9 year account (as an added bonus they nuked my other 2 accounts as well even though no posts near time of nukage) for pretty tame (compared to other stuff I have seen) stuff. I predict that Reddit will be indistinguishable from truth social within 5 years or less.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I experienced similar as a paying customer there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

In today's economy paying that does NOT mean shit, it ain't like you get any rights... Really paying is a mark of a being a sucker in a parasite's eyes.

I still can't tell how we ended up here but I am guessing they dont care for the customer, just for its data.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I (15 year old account) got banned not too long ago for replying to a person using information publicly listed in their reddit profile. Rule 3, aka doxxing. Idk, seemed overkill to me, what else is the point of sharing anything in ones profile if mentioning it is bannable.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

All piracy, hacking and cracking communities should be on Lemmy. All NSFW communities should move to LemmyNSFW. Investors won't be happy until that site is scrubbed clean.
