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

You're putting a lot of words in my mouth. All I ever said was that Discord is a poor replacement and I'm reasonably content to stick with Reddit until something substantial forms here or somewhere besides Discord. I'm not obligated to form a community and just because you call me lazy and sling insults at me for that choice doesn't really change my mind on the matter, it just makes you look childish.

You're the one getting worked up, and simply for my refuting Discord as a good replacement.

Grow up.
