    Let Reddit die, they’ve monetized our content and then spit at our faces, especially at the mods.

    Please create a decentralized harbor to share piracy related content. Dont visit this site again.

      Since the blackout, I’ve only visited Reddit to rip off content for my own Lemmy community, and to vote in this poll lol

    I’m still confused why they forcefully reopen a subreddit about PIRACY? 🤔🤔🤔 Shouldn’t they actually be glad that it closed?

          Me neither but im definitely on it a lot less, for example right now im browsing lemmy just checking out stuff whats on here etc. Normally i would be doing the same but on reddit, i still do that but a lot less which means less traffic.

              Better do it soon, I just did mine the other day. I really didn’t want to do it cause it kind of screws over people searching for answers from Google but fuck Reddit

    I love the Malicious Compliance from the moderators lately, and the fact John Oliver is just becoming the ultimate meme symbol for the movement and protest.

    Just close the sub and make it full link through to this page. 1 link, explain why you’ve closed and link this Lemmy. Cut your losses & gtfo

      That’d get the sub banned too quickly. We have to resist, but not make it too obvious. A reasonable person would’ve seen the fallback site and move here, but if we make things too obvious, we’ll not have the sub to act as a redirect to here.

    I’m done with Reddit. This latest debacle prompted me to look into Reddit’s history, had no idea before. What an awful company. Also a community not subject to corporate interest is better for everyone. Anyway, I’m not going back there so if the sub gets closed down, no skin off my nose. Yeah do what you will.

      Same here Lemmy has been more than enough for me, a little harder to search but the curated feeds are perfect

      Or dedicate the subreddit to a resource for pirat-related stuff i.e. pirate ships, cannons and all that 15th century pirate culture. Like taking the name litarally.

        That would still have actual appeal

        Not that sexy pirate John Oliver doesn’t 🤤

    Hey Captain, this instance seems to be hosted in Germany? Is that correct? How safe are we from the empire? What is our battle plan if this gets shut down? Shouldn’t you make an account on one of the other instances so we can coordinate if this does get shut down?

    (Also, is it weird to post 2 top level comments? I feel like editing my other one wouldn’t get the attention needed, since you don’t get notified for edits.)

      The rules are there to protect us. If I get enough funding for hosting, I plan to move this to a safer harbor.

    Incredible to see so many Huffman’s simps in the comments, no wonder why the blackouts weren’t that effective

      It just means most of the people with principles have already moved here, or that reddit is engaging in disgusting levels of astroturfing. The latest Announcement is even worse. Regardless, it’s just ruined.

        Pirates crying and simping for reddit are truly the dumbest thinking piracy dedicated communities have a future on a company trying to artificially inflate their value so they can sell it off to other investors. Probably don’t even use any sort of adblock.

        I guess it’s for the best that those astroturfing people stay on Reddit while we can enjoy the Lemmy-verse.
