Not sure why you would think this place is out of reach of DMCA.

As for what you can post, check the rules

Rule 3:

Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles

It was always there. Back in the day if you gave someone gold for a comment, you were giving them one month of premium.

I would have gladly paid for a premium reddit experience, had it provided useful features. 3rd party app access is something I would have totally understood and paid for. RES features integrated, various styles such as old.reddit enshrined and protected, the option to opt in/out of various features, premium access to mod/admin subs that actually get a response, etc.

Instead they offered awards to give out. No value, no purchase.

Running a public instance is 100%, definitely not suitable for someone without experience or at the very least a solid background and a sincere willingness to learn and spend time maintaining it.

A private server for yourself and a group of buds?
There isnt really a reason not to give it a go if youre interested.

This is what im going to do when I get a spare few hours to set it up.

Im looking at it in the same way as my searx instance. Just a private portal that will have as much uptime as I can maintain, federated with who I want and no one I dont.

“Official” is such a strange term and im truly looking forward to the end of the “migration” period.

I get that people want a similar experience to their reddit feed, but I dont understand why people see reddit affiliated communities as the best options.

At some point its better to just tear the bandaid off.

They were struggling with moderation, and a disproportionate number of people they were addressing were coming from those two instances, which happen to have open registration.

Not sure I agree or not, but thats what they said

Is it our property though?

Intellectually speaking yes, but legally speaking? Probably not. Chances are if its stored on their servers, it belongs to them.
