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!
Time to do what /r/steam and /r/pics are doing. Change rules and only talk about actual Naval piracy!
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
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
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.
Would take an interesting turn of events if people would get the sub in legal trouble, after Reddit itself essentially enforced the opening
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’ 🤷♂️
The mods are being removed from many subreddits, including r/piracy. Reddit threw in the towel and decided to stop pretending they were community-moderated.
lmao literally this
pretending they were community-moderated.
Unless you remember electing your mods, “community moderated” simply means “we don’t pay the jannies, they literally do it for free lol!” It was never about the “community” having a voice.
don’t forget the supermod awkwardturtle is a proud and loud pedophile (no, not am reactionairy “he/she is not like me” way, he or she actually, for real, prey on confused teens and has “retreats” for them) saying this anything about this will get you an instant permaban on reddit
Didn’t spez at some point moderate a very questionable sub too? Wasn’t it jailbait or something?
m;ao literally this
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.
why would you think that reddit’s employees hate spez?
Based on how he speaks to the media and about his customerbase, I wouldn’t be shocked if he treats his employees just as badly
@anonymous_FTP @Abridgedlife @SpezCanLigmaBalls @BusinessPigeon
Well that’s just speculation on our part.
For all we could know. The ones that don’t want to be treated badly has left long ago and what remains of reddit employees are those who share the CEOs views and support it.
/r/piracy is now a compromised sub to me. Not trusting the resources there.
actively restoring r/piracy
actively forcing a community dedicated to breaking DCMA by proxy back online
actively trying to get an IPOthat’s certainly a choice.

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.
how about not opening at all as long as possible until all demands are met?
I’m good over here. No need to go back to Reddit.
very based, I agree
