We should go and save the useful info to re-post it here, it's a good opportunity to migrate all the information.
The newest post on /r/piracy gave "go wild posting links and tank this site" vibes.
Moderation team being forced to moderate against their will? Would be a shame if people started posting site rule breaking content over there
Reddit staff wants to bring down stuff like piracy subs, they want you to break the rules en masse so they can shut it down. Sure we can say "oh boo hoo we have Lemmy" but how many people don't? How many people won't bother with Lemmy? How many don't know about it? How many people will DL from Steamunlocked? How many will torrent from the Bay using Bitlord? The Megatgread is still crucial info that needs to be accessible to as many people as possible
If you read the Megathread piracy will be second nature but if you don't and then get malware after malware, at some point you'll say "fuck it" and stop, which will deter a lot of people
Lemmy has the megathread and the rest can stay there at their own risk.

Dear googlers from the future after the-eye goes down: the archive can be easily downloaded from this magnet link assuming people are still seeding it
You gotta edit the link and make a spacing between the / and the ; Because the link doesn't work unless you edit the link itself..

The humor / memes posts there are the most annoying. I hope we don't see such low effort posts here.
Can we just have a separate community for piracy memes?
the humor posts are my favorite tbh, but the guides n shit are also super cool
Is there a link to this community in there yet? I'm not adding any traffic to reddit to check it out lol
Really needs to be if not. I suspect it'd be a major way for people to find this comm; this is now the main hub after all
It’s in the sidebar under “fallback” or something like that.
Still under fallback huh? That's a shame
Someone commented this place on the post about the subreddit reopening. That's how I got here. I backuped the megathread before realizing this community existed lol
I only discovered lemmy because, during the blackout, r/piracy linked here lol. Very useful, glad they did because lemmy is so good
That is very weird of reddit to force open a PIRACY subreddit of all things
They probably didn't directly target /r/piracy but blanket hit all subs of a certain size.
Now that most of r/Piracy seems to be on the fediverse now, maybe reddit's advertisers would like to know that they endorse digital piracy. Might fuck up their IPO.
We need a home away from reddit for a long time. Always was scared of the ban hammer. Thank you Spez for giving us all the push we needed!
