I hate to say this but reddit probably doesn't care if r/piracy stays dark. We were probably one of the subs they were hoping to get rid of.
With that said i support the movement. The biggest loss is the institutional knowledge since we can't just search for an old post
Is there a mirror of the sub? It'd be great if we could mirror the content here.
It's why this blackout has been a blessing, since piracy days on reddit were numbered anyways. I'm glad we got to get our community elsewhere before being randomly banned before there was an opportunity to regroup.
Have had many lost communites like megaupload back in the day that reddit killed off. With how helpful the piracy community has been with stuff like the wiki Reddit would have set their eyes on us anyways in the long run.
I am ready to leave reddit. Fuck you u/Spez
Remember Lemmy's growth starts with you, post your favourite things, talk about your favourite things.
Hello everyone! This is my first Lemmy post. :)
I 100% support a permanent shutdown of r/Piracy, but at the same time, I think it would be very useful if the contents of r/Piracy were made available elsewhere for archival purposes. Could the sub be temporarily reopened in read-only mode to allow for it to be scraped? Or is it already available somewhere?
Just subscribed here and want to say I completely support you doing an indefinite blackout.
I support an indefinite blackout. Pirates are tech-savvy enough to make the Fediverse into a proper new home for themselves. Edit: pressed enter too soon.
I mean blacking out forever should be what r/piracy is doing. If r/piracy reopens, then the admins are more incentivised to ban it, whereas if it remains private, we can still have the description up to redirect visitors to this lemmy, and since the subreddit is private, admins couldn't care less about it since there is no legitimate DMCA claims for a privated subreddit. They might still eventually ban it, but being private will put the act of banning r/piracy into a lower priority, so the lemmy redirect lasts longer.
Glad to see that /r/piracy has some fucking balls. 48 hours won't do a damn thing. It makes me sad because I love Reddit. Always have, but this shriveled up dickbag, Spez, royally fucking over 3rd party devs by pricing out their apps and even removing the ability to have NSFW content be viewable on their apps is a royal slap in the face in the highest degree.
I understand that as a business you need to turn a profit (I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Capitalist), but completely pricing 3rd party devs out of the market and making mods (who are all VOLUNTEERS btw) use the bullshit, clunky ass first party modding tools aint it. I heard rumor that they would allow 3rd party modding tools and bots via LTT, but I trust nothing.
Reddit is nothing without the community. It was just a place to gather, to congregate and have a discussion.
That can move elsewhere. and reddit can be left to rot.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Agreed. We're here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.
/r/Piracy and /r/FMHY were one of my favorite communities of Reddit, I'm so glad they are here in Lemmy!
Sounds good to me. The people participating in piracy are the type to quickly adapt to changing technology. Let’s embrace this opportunity.
Nice, fuck spez, the users are the ones with all the power.
Ahoy to our new Ship!. fck you spez
Respect! Let reddit die. It's time.
Great to see that some subreddits are going dark indefinitely, don't let them win!
Nice. I think the Fediverse is the way to go for communities like this.
I'm here for this, and appreciate the r sub making a stand.
I do hope the wiki can be set up here. I'm an old woman and I need a lot of support whilst sailing the high seas.
we can all chip in and help!
That's the spirit buccaneer. There's always endless loot to go around and spirit to go with it.
spez tryna gaslight his staff into thinking we are frustrated with low-level staff lmao
I like that it is linked directly from the Private Community message on Reddit. I wish more subreddit picked a new official place and linked it, that way people would actually try something else instead of waiting the end of the blackout.
it's pretty amazing how the entirety of reddit just united against this change.
Well, I hope this means that all those who followed this subreddit will come over here because, in the end, if Lemmy provides enough content to be a Reddit successor, it will succeed but, if it becomes a mere shadow of what was available there, it’ll fade away just like some of the “Twitter replacement” platforms have.
Glad to see this community stay strong. Anti-exploitation is in our blood
Thank you for having more integrity and willpower than people who can't even go a few days without meme shitposts. I'm glad we got our lemmy community.
You love to see it!
I'm a recent refugee from r/Piracy. I'm in solidarity with the indefinite blackout.
btw I'm still grasping the whole Lemmy situation. I created an account on Lemmy.world but apparently it doesn't link here. Any explanation on that?
Pirates showing subs like r/labrats how it's done! Drink up me hearties!
lemmy is the new meta! 😁 is there an app for both ios and android?
Sync for Reddit is thinking of working on Lemmy support. If the big apps move to Lemmy, it could push a lot of traffic to it and keep the exodus going. Encourage it on syncs GitHub and discord server.
Glad to be here. A shame that other communities don't do the same.
The question is: Will lemmy be sufficient to replace reddit? I hope it is, I have no issue leaving Reddit.
Full support. Just migrated from Reddit. Not going back until policy changes
Not even then.
For me the Lemmyverse fills the same space. Like Usenet back in the Before Time. Even if Reddit were to do a complete 180/mea culpa I would no longer have a need for them, and the longer it goes on the more users will be comfortable here.
Been asking for an indefinite blackout, glad to see this has become reality!
so this is the official lemmy community for those who left r/Piracy?
It's linked from /r/piracy, ain't it? 😉
wouldn't know, haven't opened reddit in days now because u/Spez can go fuck himself
Works for me. Not going back to r/
My Follow Pirates, Follow brethren, Net Neutrality for all. hip hip hooray!!
I support the blackout indefinitely. Fuck reddit, we're here on lemmy now <3
