and making it a rule uploading this bullshit sucks
Do you think they just want to troll you?
Have you really not read one of the many stickied posts all over Reddit about the blackout and what the admins are going to do to that website?

It’s supposed to suck!
Yeah, that's literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.
It's honestly hilarious Reddit bungled this so badly as to upset everyone. Ah well, at least with this digital piracy community I can rest assured a corporation isn't censoring discourse.
Elon has shown the way to spectacularly self destruct!
Just the quality of replies and posts here over the old sub, is honestly alone worth the move.
Arr, take my wooden peg!
Reddit is probably going to be happy about the protest in this sub. Can't imagine that investors like the sub about getting stuff for free...
I mean, the sub was closed and Reddit forced it to reopen, so there is an argument they do endorse piracy
I still can't believe Reddit actually decided to do that. I thought they were going to ban the sub or keep it closed.
I figured given all the other subs to force back open, they should've just not risked the potential bad-press of appearing to endorse digital piracy right before going public as a company, and just stayed quiet and said nothing.
I imagine that they are doing this to more than just the piracy sub and it's widespread across reddit communities
The power of Reddit lies within its very diverse and many communities on special interests. People browsing r/piracy also browse the Frontpage, r/all and so on. But mainly their special interests is what kept them there. Because funny memes can be found everywhere.
Now, if those special interests are not being served any more, people will go elsewhere. So no, I don't think they will be happy and investors won't be either.
Active on her? She's a lucky lady 😂
Yarrr
Piracy and privacy guides, two main reasons why I'm here. Arggg 🤣
I didn't use /r/piracy, but I do read this forum
@hyperio The great thing is, I don't even have to sign up. I just follow this sub (do you still call it a sub?) from my #Mastodon!
Ahh, bless the #Fediverse.
Ich war dabei. Los Piraten!
It won't be the same without RARBG. 😭
i still miss isohunt and mininova
Mininova? I still miss Suprnova!
Wow haven't heard those names in ages
yeah, consistently great 1080p X265 releases you could rely on them, this was a big loss for me, nobody release that many X265 releases that fast, PSA only mainstream, megusta only TV shows, everything else either too slow or too rare
I've even ventured back to IRC for some things. This Reddit explosion has opened all sorts of old doors for me, it's very refreshing.
I'm afraid to ask, but why John Oliver?
He makes Last Week Tonight which is a show with a big reach, Reddit-Mods are essentially pinging him.
He did respond on Twitter with a dump of sexy pictures of him to post.
The show is on pause because of the writers-strike at the moment, so it might take a while for this to be a topic.
I wasn't sure if the writers strike was still happening. Earlier today I did search on YouTube for his segment on the reddit situation to see what he had to say.
Thank you!
Aaarg!!!
Let's do it then
Yes yes yes; I'll join and participate!
Quick question, how does this piracy community compare with fmhy?
Fmhy are just providers of the instance and that's what their general communities focus on. For information regarding the high seas, this is the community you want to look into.
No actually fmhy is technically a "competitor" to this community if you want to call it that. I personally think fmhy has a better megathread than this one due to it being updated much more frequently, but essentially both communities are similar.
Either one community will become big and the other small.
Or, the two communities will start going into niches (like, one being more focused on movies and the other games)
And seeing as you can subscribe to both, I assume that these communities will assist each other.
The strength of federation is that you have no "one-true-community" anymore. If one gets sick (I.e. Reddit) you have other safe havens to take over
The whole John Oliver thing is just awful. Glad to be moving here for good when Sync shuts down.
That's kinda the point of the John Oliver thing
Sync is moving to Lemmy!
