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.

Lol, gtfo. Fuck that place anyway.

They went easy on you. Some overzealous mod permabanned my entire account for talking about Lemmy. Allegedly against their 'content guidelines'

Welp! I'm glad I made the switch to Lemmy at least.

[–] razor_1911@szmer.info 2 points 2 years ago

Aye. Good to have a new home in case the old one burns down

[–] Charcoal8645@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You and me both. Im still heaving a little trouble figuring out all the fediverse, but it will definitely be better than reddit

[–] weirdwriter@tweesecake.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Charcoal8645 @edgerunnergit Basically, the Fediverse is a universe of tech designed to talk and interact with each other. For example, I can interact with you even though I don't have a Lemmy account, and it works the other way too. ActivityPub connects all of us. I'm also sure interopability will strengthen as these services grow. It isn't just Mastodon focus migrations happening and this is really great!

Yeah, even if they backtrack on all of this shit, I am done with them. This episode as a whole is a great illustration of the danger of allowing a private business to run one of the biggest spaces for community and discourse in the world.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty ironic text. It's in part because of the trust put in moderators that they feel the need to protest / protest following that obligation.

[–] vondyhaar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I wonder how much of r/piracy traffic is people who would migrate to whatever fallback we got, seems like the only way. Fighting reddit whilest using it is pointless

[–] rgb_leds_are_love@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

r/wallstreetbets is probably preparing to short Reddit once they IPO 😂

[–] hydra@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Move all the information here and run power delete suite on you reddit accounts while you still can with links to join-lemmy.org, I think that will hurt them quite a bit.

LMAO and these guys wanting to reopen /r/piracy are awaiting IPO. Any investor not seeing the issues at hand here deserve all the misfortune they'll get.

[–] deathmetal@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

They have done this for years, unfortunately. Admins are the weak spot in Reddit, not the jannies (ironically). My sympathies!

[–] MrComradeTaco@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Fuck those Reddit punks, people can make a better piracy community in the fediverse.

I say transfer as much as you can over here, then nuke the sub completely. The source of knowledge are mostly here now and everything else can be rebuild. We are pirates, we don't yield easily and can survive anywhere.

[–] _Stalwart_@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Whatever happens rest assured that we will keep the community alive and well here!

[–] NonDollarCurrency@monero.town 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They are afraid. Gold, just means we need to keep working on making this community better. Stronger.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What the hell reddit? This is r/piracy, we've had backup plans on other platforms for ages. Of all the subs to forcibly reopen they do the one with the lowest chance of anyone going back? This has to just be a trial to see how forcibly reopening the front page subs is going to go when they do that.

Be sure to remove as much as you can and heavily encourage heavy contributors to delete their comment history. They have no value without our data.

[–] fing3r@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yup, this is gonna happen to all the big subreddits sooner or later. /videos is next.

[–] onceuponaban@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

So, is that an order to abandon ship?

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Arrgh, if it be mutiny then we stand by ye captain. Unfurl the sails and man the cannons ye land'lubbers.

[–] eric3a@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Our new ship is strong!

[–] Faendol@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Here come the scab mods!
