r/Piracy has entered restricted mode and will open in two days
https://old.reddit.com/r/piracy
What's up with that? Moving back to reddit already?
Nice to have access to old posts though.
They removed the mod (our admin) and are reopening it to stamp out the blackout movement. I‘m not going to go there at all, this is going to be a lobotomised version of r/piracy with some reddit employee or a spez loyalist scab at the helm—no thanks!
yeah ive always been quiet on the reddit but lemmy feels a lot more open, like i wont get thwacked in the head with a rolled newspaper for asking questions lol
True, I actually got dinged from automods using this word "kill" in various context for example one I remember well: "The Iranian government is killing people and wondering why they fight back?!" And DING I get whacked by the automod for using a bad word. I mean I don‘t mind moderation, but that was so weird I had to self censor myself like "The Iranian government is acting in ways that end people‘s lives and wondering why they fight back?!" to get my comment posted. What a pain. I get not advocating for violence, but the robots didn‘t check for any of that lol.
Yes, I mean there will be limits and our admins named some but overall it seems way more free.
Likely because it's federated instances and each specialises in something.
I've seen former thedonald mods trying to get their hands on major subs from the admins.
r/wallstreetsilver is now just the_donald / consoomer neo nazi sub. reddit is falling apart
Would take an interesting turn of events if people would get the sub in legal trouble, after Reddit itself essentially enforced the opening
Time to do what /r/steam and /r/pics are doing. Change rules and only talk about actual Naval piracy!
Who did they replace the mod with
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555
(first time linking a post here, not sure if it's correct)
Ah, thanks. I found this in the comment chain:
The second mod did it. They did not contact me at all so it seems they’re communicating with the admins
First time linking stuff too, so let's see if this works:
Worked for me!
Appreciate the link.
Could the lemmy instance survive that load? There's way too many good posts I am afraid.
Actually, not that difficult. All this does is it uses the Reddit API to download the content and creates an SQL script that restores the data directly into the SQL database of a Lemmy instance. This means, it doesn't actually touch the Lemmy instance at all. You just run the SQL script directly on the database and Lemmy can then access the data from the database as if it had been posted on Lemmy over the last few years.
The only hard limit here is the size of the database. As long as you got enough disk space for the database to handle all that content everything is fine.
There is a Github repo with a tool for migrating posts from Reddit to Lemmy
actively restoring r/piracy
actively forcing a community dedicated to breaking DCMA by proxy back online
actively trying to get an IPO
that's certainly a choice.
Well, my popcorn is ready, let's see how that will work out
I said this on another post on this topic. I think this is deliberate. Why would a company that is about to have an IPO want to support anticapitalist subs like Piracy and Antiwork? The saying is never let a good crisis go to waste.
/r/piracy is now a compromised sub to me. Not trusting the resources there.
Reddit is forcing open restricted subs by replacing their mods.
Piracy is better practiced irl anyways
This just further supports my conspiracy theory /r/piracy is a honeypot. Seems like they opened this subreddit mighty fast (I know supposedly the same message and threat were sent a automatically to all subreddits of a certain size)
Does this mean, based on the email I saw that Reddit was sending out, at least one of the piracy mods turned to the dark side, the email apparently says if one of the moderators would like to work with them to reopen closed subs to contact them. It also mentions that they will protect said mod from retaliation.
I'm already gone and I'm not coming back.
Like some here have said somewhere, if they want to reopen a sub about discussion of and linking to pirated material, why stop them? Clearly they still want the discussion and only just the discussion of piracy to continue. 😉😉😉 Honestly not sure how the sub was still standing anyway with the direct links to pirated content in the megathread.
I just got banned again and only use reddit to look at my saved posts, so nah. Done with it come july 1
One of the mods posted here that they were forcibly removed by admin
Fuck spez man and these mods that are backing down to him.
The mods blinked first as they didn't want to lose their 'magical internet powers' 🤷♂️
Lmao I wonder what drama is going on at the corporate reddit office
I hope the picture of spez having sexy time with female Garfield is getting printed out and pictures hung up on all the office walls.
well shit, we survive the great purge before hopefully we can this one too
