Reddit taking down multiple of my piracy related posts (www.reddit.com)

I posted an updated guide on r/Adobe Zii a bit ago. It got taken down last week and I re-posted it here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43935446 Super grateful that this community exists. I posted to r/Adobe Zii that my guide was taken down and warning that it looks like reddit is cracking down on piracy (I am guessing an Adobe spokesperson is abusing reddit's copyright reporting system). Now today reddit emails me saying that I received another copyright warning for posting that my other post was removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeZii/comments/1kioy3i/reddit_took_down_my_adobe_zii_guide/

I decide hey lets try and appeal as there was not any copyrighted material in my post about my guide being removed. Turns out they want my full name, address, and other identifying info to send to the copyright complainant. Not doing that.

Just disappointed as I've actively used reddit for years and love all the communities on this place. Seems like its slowly going down hill. Guess I should have seen that coming with the whole API shenanigans last year.

TL;DR reddit sucks and it does not appear any way to appeal without giving Adobe my info

im there because there's a lot of niche communities that just dont exist here, or have any active users.

Discord is already prepping for an IPO so why bother putting any energy into moving off Reddit, finding, and getting involved with communities on there when it's going to be yet another shit show in fairly short order?

Discord is now run by the former vice chairman of Blizzard. That, combined with it being only "not as far along" in the enshittification process actually makes the idea of putting time and energy into finding a niche community that I can jive with on Discord less appealing than simply sticking it out with Reddit and it's known variables until something substantial forms on Lemmy or some other platform that hasn't begun severely degrading due to corporate ownership.

That's my personal opinion anyway.

Because "slightly less shitty" isn't as attractive of a moniker to me as it seems to be to you when it comes to deciding which platform to switch off to.

And a subreddit having a Discord doesn't really guarantee much aside from having the same mods in charge. The userbase is invariably going to be different and may not have the same "vibe" as the subreddit. It's not really as simple as you're trying to make it out, which makes the idea of jumping off one shitty corporatized platform to another extremely unappealing.

I also don't use social media enough or have enough free time to bother attempting to form and moderate my own community, so as much as I dislike Reddit I'm content just waiting it out for something that isn't just another lame Discord server to pop-up here or elsewhere.
