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 heard Disney really likes it when their content is shared through Reddit without them getting a cut of the profits. ;)
I had a good hearty laugh thanks to your comment.
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.
So Reddit is forcing open a piracy sub. I wonder how potential investors would feel about that?
This needs so much more noise! If only some of us were part of major news channels, more shareholders need to know now that reddit is in IPO process. It’ll hurt bad.
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)_/¯
We’ll build a better ship with a sturdier ram, 32 pounder cannons and free wenches and rum! Dbzer0 for captain, 2023
Im here for the plexable wenches & torrents of rum!
This bullshit made me nuke my 30k karma account. I hope lemmy won’t die month later.

That’s literally impossible! An instance may go down, but it will stay cached.

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.

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.
Okie, I’m absolute noob here. Right now I struggle to find night mode. :D

This is happening all over reddit.
Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.
You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.
Welp! I’m glad I made the switch to Lemmy at least.
You and me both. Im still heaving a little trouble figuring out all the fediverse, but it will definitely be better than reddit
@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!
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.

activitypub instances can decide to block other instances like gab.com.
user accounts are bound to instances = vendor lockin.
etc…
a more decentralized protcol is nostr, see also https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/136090
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.
Same here, no matter what they do now they’ve made it extremely clear what they think about their users, even if something happened tomorrow and the fediverse somehow went down (which would be a feat unto itself) I’m never touching reddit again
Aye. Good to have a new home in case the old one burns down
"In analyzing the availability of the immunity offered by Section 230, courts generally apply a three-prong test. A defendant must satisfy each of the three prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:
- The defendant must be a “provider or user” of an “interactive computer service”.
- The cause of action asserted by the plaintiff must treat the defendant as the “publisher or speaker” of the harmful information at issue.
3. The information must be “provided by another information content provider”, i.e., the defendant must not be the “information content provider” of the harmful information at issue."
If Reddit the company is now picking and choosing who approves or blocks harmful information, are they an information content provider now? Are they liable if their chosen mods allow harmful content?

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
Fuck those Reddit punks, people can make a better piracy community in the fediverse.
Hello how did you change the font on your username?
My guess is fancy font generator and setting that as displayed name.
I have used a Twitter(it work for any platform anyway) font editor you can search it at Google or whatever search engine you use.
@MrComradeTaco @collegefurtrader
Not to be that guy, but I think accessibility advocates would rather you didn’t do that, because it causes issues for screen readers for the visually handicapped.Yeah, can we defederate* from this guy and his fancy fonts?
* Whatever the hell that means
Just call your local politician and tell them to create a law banning fonts you don’t like.
Lol who cares
@abc123@lemmy.fmhy.ml
Blind people care.You don’t need to know usernames to read the comments
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.
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.
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…Well, what lovely timing to abandon ship
btw can the other mods bring you back?
O captain, my captain!
That’s just crazy. I still don’t fully know what’s going on with reddit but from what I’ve heard it’s just bs but I’m here for support. Happy sailing everyone!

Reddit wants to kill 3rd party apps so people have to user their terrible ad-infested privacy-invading first party app so they can harvest and sell your data.
CEO says devs are “choosing” not to work with them while sending them bills in the tens of millions of dollars.
Thanks for your reply. Sounds like the usual, only in it for the $$.
