Hey /r/piracy. Reddit admins de-modded the captain and put a sword to the mod-team's necks to re-open. It seems they really demand valuable input from pirates. I look forward to you to taking this tacit Reddit endorsement of digital piracy to heart in the coming days!

I don't know how long I'll remain around. I seem to have caught the eye of Sauron and I'm not the top mod anymore. Hopefully the remaining mods won't scab but it's out of my control now.

Feel free to join me at the failback forum. You know where ;) It's fun being an unshackled pirate once more!

They won't let us live, they won't let us die.

Remaining mods should go the r/pics route and only allow sea piracy content or something lol

Nothing but magnet links to sea shanty albums.

Actually viable with an author approved CC licensed music.

I agree, either nuke everything or just do what they're doing.

The mods should just nuke everything related to old /r/Piracy on the basis that software piracy is forbidden by Reddit TOS or something like that and fill it with history of sea piracy and modern sea piracy. That would be trolling of epic proportions.

That would be even better, considering the amount of info there is and traffic it generates. Haven't looked into whether or not Reddit admins could restore the nuked content, though; if they could, it's unlikely they'd allow such a big sub to stay nuked...

[-] Alto@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They definitely could, just look at how much previously deleted content is being restored randomly.

[-] Ascyron@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

If they restore nuked content, concerned citizens should use archive.org history to prove that reddit, as a company, willingly re-created links to copyrighted content and get the riaa etc to sue reddit?

If I could meme, I'd definitely be doing one of Ragnarok, reddit facing down the mods: you can't beat me! I know, but he can!
