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 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.
Reddit will sure be a lovely site in a few months…
May their shareholders weep.
If you take away what the people want
You’re gonna have a bad time. ⛷️
I’m sad to see what has happened to the community I’ve been a part of for the better part of my life.

they’re gonna love that sweet, sweet liability
I had a good hearty laugh thanks to your comment.
I heard Disney really likes it when their content is shared through Reddit without them getting a cut of the profits. ;)
lol yeah
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.
I would imagine too, but who knows, there is a different set of rules for companies and the rich.
Now that Reddit is asserting direct control over it, maybe they‘ll turn it into an anti-piracy sub to prevent any legal trouble.
Well, they could just say: “We made a script to track every mod who closed their sub, revogate its mod permissions and notify all other mods in the sub with an automatic message”, which basically frees them from any charges regarding community content.
They could, however, be sued for not actively removing illegal content, such as pirated things and MAP related things (e.g. r/jailbait)
Honestly it would probably be easy to force the sub to go dark again via ban by posting direct piracy links.
If reddit decides to moderate the Piracy subreddit directly, does that mean that they’ll be responsible to respond to DMCA requests? If so, that’s going to be a shitshow all in itself.
Well I guess its time to flood r/piracy with magnet links as soon as the new jannies open it.
Also worth flooding them with
linksa map to where they can board the new ship where the 🏴☠️ flag still flies high.I’m constantly linking people to Lemmy communities when I’m posting. I’m deleting my account on the 30th but until then I’ll shill for Fediverse
Bonus points if they’re Nintendo games!
why magnet links in particular?
I mean could be any link to copyright material but I generally grab magnet links so shrug
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1: Funny we were all in here like two days ago saying “they’ll probably be happy to have the piracy sub gone”
2: Any member of the existing mod team that helps them is a fucking scab
3: Everyone else has made a good point about some potential liability issues of reddit the corporation wresting control of the piracy subreddit into their own hands
4: There are so many layers of irony with a corporation saying people need to have access to the community that tells them how to commit copyright infringement and then forcing that information into the open despite what its caretakers wish.
Not sure about the optics of Reddit force-reenabling a subreddit devoted to piracy LOL
Coming soon: rebranding /r/piracy to “pirate cosplay”
Nothing but pictures of John Oliver in maritime garb.
Is this the “sexy john oliver” thing people were talking about?
r/piracy after the IPO: piracy is unethical as it is stealing from the poor (companies). This is a community to discuss how to stop piracy and become responsible and dutiful consumers.
“dutiful consumers” kinda icks me lol
lol imagine being so desperate for the protest to come to an end that you are even targeting a community that engages in legally questionable activity.
I’m sure the process of determining what mods to DM was automated, but even so, it’s still pretty funny to me.
They went easy on you. Some overzealous mod permabanned my entire account for talking about Lemmy. Allegedly against their ‘content guidelines’
I reinvited you in case you care.
cheers. Rejoined
This should somehow be made known outside the fediverse, to bring more people away from reddit and to here
please do share. I can only spread the word so much.
I don’t really have a following or anything but I’ll try he he he
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.
automated message, sure. But they demoded just me, which is obviously very exact.
Yeah. Considering the other mod messaged you it definitely seems targeted
Well, what lovely timing to abandon ship
An interesting point about this, is that previously when people would try to gain control over subs with inactive mods the admins would drag their feet as much as possible. (I’m part of a sub where it took almost a year via several requests for the group of new mods to gain ownership of the sub).
But now some fee-fees got hurt and admins go nuclear and removes mods at lightspeed…maybe things will (should?) get exciting over on /r/piracy
btw can the other mods bring you back?
That’s what’s most surprising to me
This bullshit made me nuke my 30k karma account. I hope lemmy won’t die month later.
Karma is for noobs and tryhards.
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

But what other federated entity allows for nomadic identities? And how would it work?
This is not a simple problem to solve and it exists nowhere online. The fediverse however affords at least way more control than reddit or any forum where they can do the same and you have no options whatsoever

You’ve sold me on nostr as a protocol, and the importance of nomadic identities more generally. Thing is, I don’t and have never used twitter, or any simililar platform, since I’m not really interested in that model of content consumption. (User/follower based)
I’m much more interested in group/community based models, like lemmy/reddit, and conceptually even futaba/chan style imageboards where users can create their own boards (though I have yet to see one that isn’t a cesspit).
I checked nosr. It’s very misguided. It’s anti-spam strategy is wishful thinking. I wish them best of luck, but my belief is that it will crash and burn due to trying to fix something unfixable.

huh? relays can choose to block content.

abuse of power is fixable through nomadic identities and signatures. your lemmy instance will “crash and burn” when you decide to pull the plug. its funny to watch people trying “more of the same”, naively hoping for the best with every iteration.
relays can choose to block content.
This is so naive I don’t even know where to start. But it’s ok, I don’t need to convince you. Reality will do it for me anyway.
I already love Lemmy. Confirming all my doubts about that piece of shit website.
Yeah in the antiwork subreddit my comments are instantly shadowbanned, my old comments in other subs show up , reddit is in major emergency mode apparently.
Good
Oh yea, is that up anywhere on here yet or not yet?
Thanks <3
