Agreed. We're here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.
100%. It appears to me this new community is already serving the purpose of the old one!
/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.
Been asking for an indefinite blackout, glad to see this has become reality!
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.
it's pretty amazing how the entirety of reddit just united against this change.
Even if they reverse course completely I don't think I'm ever going back
Can't believe my favorite subreddit r/gundeals is dark because of this. Screw that dumb shit spez
The question is: Will lemmy be sufficient to replace reddit? I hope it is, I have no issue leaving Reddit.

I support the blackout indefinitely. Fuck reddit, we're here on lemmy now <3
Glad to be here. A shame that other communities don't do the same.
Pirates showing subs like r/labrats how it's done! Drink up me hearties!
Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me!
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?
Sorry, what doesn't link here? lemmy.world? does this work? https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
This one: https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.ml
This is not affiliated?
No, that's a different community. It used to be the official /r/piracy community, but I don't agree with the politics of lemmy.ml and I also wanted to run my own instance to ensure it stays up
Thanks for hosting!
Thank you for running your own instance. That's the beauty of the fediverse, knowing it can't be taken down unlike on Reddit where the threat was always present. Will not be visiting Reddit's piracy page anymore. We're good here!

Full support. Just migrated from Reddit. Not going back until policy changes

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.
Exactly. Bring all that discussion and content over here, then we are actually in control of it. We can't expect anything to change when Reddit thinks there's no viable alternative.

Glad to see this community stay strong. Anti-exploitation is in our blood
Great to see that some subreddits are going dark indefinitely, don't let them win!

My Follow Pirates, Follow brethren, Net Neutrality for all. hip hip hooray!!
Never thought about how this relates to net neutrality. Reddit was kind of becoming a "common carrier" for information, but as a centralized source it's in their interest to filter content for money's sake. Here in the fediverse the communities (and their data) are cloned but constantly updated across many independently owned servers. So no one server owner can ever really steer the discourse. We just need an official way to migrate a community in the case an instance goes down/stops meeting the needs of the community.
Glad to be here my first lemmy post
Same. Been looking for a reason to leave Reddit anyway.
Works for me. Not going back to r/
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.
If it stays private for long someone could try to r/redditrequest it
Interesting point, but I don't they admins care about rules anymore. They just do whatever they feel like. Sure they can give it to someone else, then what? Change the description to "Piracy is Bad"? Thats the same as getting banned. The way I see it, r/piracy is getting banned sooner or later, but privating it will make us less of a priority to admins and its giving us more time to recuit people.
And if they forcefully reopen it , it looks like they endorse it...not good for the ipo
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?
Ahoy to our new Ship!. fck you spez
Nice. I think the Fediverse is the way to go for communities like this.
Nice, fuck spez, the users are the ones with all the power.
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.
