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

...Then stop posting on Reddit? I thought the whole point of us moving here was to get out of the control of Reddit and their shareholders/corporate overlords

Lemmy is the safe island everyone on Reddit knows they can go if it gets entirely unusable.

But, Lemmy is extremely political with fuckall else outside of reposted memes and selfhosting nerds, so we don't really fit the bill for Reddit's normies until they're all ready to come aboard, not that they ever will.

Skill issue.

And yet, post the information on Lemmy anyway. The normies will either find it when someone on Reddit comments that they saw it on Lemmy ("talking about X" is not copyrightable), or they'll find it on Google when it starts indexing Lemmy.

Excuse me we have original memes here! Also cat pictures.

You can open up your own Lemmy instance and ban politics from it.

I don't personally have a problem with it, and without it, there wouldn't be much going on here.

We could talk about Linux!

Me either.

True, I don't think a lot of people I interact with on Reddit will ever move to Lemmy.
But I guess it's okay, because I am getting the stuff which Reddit won't allow so it would be like a cool shadow community.

By the way, how do you think censorship work on Lemmy? I don't have any idea if they can block stuff, like a lot of users are on Lemm.me or Lemmy.world so there mods can control a lot of posts I guess
