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.
Btw Piracy moved to:
@piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Run by the same mod. They have their megathread, faqs, and everything up already. Everything that they need for their community to start again in this new place.. I would imagine the users of a sub all about piracy are absolutely fine about leaving Reddit for something new.
ETA: Comment edited so you can see the whole magazine name.
Amazing news to have r/piracy here! Hopefully they have more liberty here and can talk openly
Off subject, but I just discovered I can't comment on kbin. Just when I thought I had the fediverse figured out.
I'm on kbin.social and I see your comment. What network/instance do you have your account on?
Really? I'm subscribed to some kbin communities and can comment. Weird
The link posted is only useful if your account is with kbin.social. Go to [URL your account is with]/[c if Lemmy, or m if kbin]/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
For you, that would be https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Searching !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com in your Lemmy instances search (burger menu -> search) should also work, and links to /c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com should work on the Lemmy web client, and should work in the next release of Jerboa (0.0.35) judging by https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pulse
Yes, I discovered later that when I submit my comment it shortens it. I'll try to edit my comment.
Really hope someone fix this at some point, because it is a pain in the ass a so simple thing as just hypertexting another instance
I foresee another great article..
Reddit CEO forces a number of subreddits to open, starting with 'copyright infringement' subreddit /r/Piracy and 'anti-capitalist' subreddit r/antiwork
Just keep digging spez. Maybe you'll make it to China and you can start WeQQit. Not to be confused with Wreqqit, which is what you're doing here.
Almost like he's doing it on purpose...
Damn, you absolutely bodied spez lmao
Why do they want a piracy community reopened?
It's kind of hilarious. For years the mods of /r/piracy have been walking on eggshells about what kinds of links and discussion are permitted there because they were afraid Reddit would shut them down at any moment. And now Reddit is tossing the mods that worked so hard to toe their line and forcing them open.
Yeah, that's quite confusing, you'd think they might not be exactly rushing to open one of the more legally complicated subs.
Likely they don't. It was probably sent to all indefinite blackout subs.
Though demodding someone can't be automated I think
Maybe with reddit's internal API it's possible
You can automate anything on your own platform.
Because it’s all about numbers and they don’t care how they get them.
It's amazing that the threat to unmod people actually worked, and a lot of subreddits are reopening, saying that "they have no other option". It shows that mods care more about their place in their subreddit than the community they supposedly did their protest for.
Well, if your choice is failing+personal loss vs. just failing, then which one would you expect most people to go for!?
Is it a personal loss though?
Yeah, I don't actually see loosing anything, except valuable time to mod a community.
Reddit mods crave the “power” they get from donating their time and labor to a mega corp.
Big bruh moment
Someone should send this to relevant investors and DMCA authority, I’m sure they’ll love it
I’m not a frequent visitor of that subreddit so I’m not really informed about this, but isn’t this kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face? I get where you’re coming from, but there’s a few outcomes here, none of which are conducive to the longevity of communities like this:
Obviously companies can DMCA for whatever reason they want, but the entire idea of communities like this is to stay under the radar.
Maybe I’m completely off-base with what I’m saying; this was just a thought I was tossing around in my head while I was trying to sleep shortly after reading this comment. It just doesn’t seem terribly productive. The only part that could be somewhat impactful would be if the relevant investors became aware, but the fact of the matter is that reddit will bend ass-backwards for these people, and if they were to take issue with that subreddit, then it’s gone.
Completely agree. I'd rather have these communities fly under the radar than get unwanted attention.
I decided to check mod CoC and found this
they really do be trying to get communities back up using the community that's already fed up with spez's crap
Hey, I think the dot at the end of URL broke the cross post and its hard to participate at the main post so ^^
Vulcan is really sure that potential investors are delighted with this kind of development on the Snoo Platform.
