The best troll would be to just openly allow actual direct link piracy on /r/piracy. if reddit bans /r/piracy, then it functionally re-privates the sub (the thing they wanted to avoid). And if they allow it, then it's a bastion of actual piracy. win-win!
I like the idea of trying to get as many DMCA requests against it as possible so that reddit has to deal with them
they wanted it open lol
Problem is, if it's privated or open, they can still point users to this community
Not possible if it's banned; another would probably take its place
Never been an /r/piracy user, but this is so obviously the correct response that I feel embarrassed I didn't think of it as soon as I saw this drama being posted here.
That is a galaxy brain move.
