Hey /r/piracy. Reddit admins de-modded the captain and put a sword to the mod-team's necks to re-open. It seems they really demand valuable input from pirates. I look forward to you to taking this tacit Reddit endorsement of digital piracy to heart in the coming days!

I don't know how long I'll remain around. I seem to have caught the eye of Sauron and I'm not the top mod anymore. Hopefully the remaining mods won't scab but it's out of my control now.

Feel free to join me at the failback forum. You know where ;) It's fun being an unshackled pirate once more!

They won't let us live, they won't let us die.

Reddit is dead. Good riddance. They are a bunch of skids.

Start posting magnet links to Nintendo Switch ROMs on r/piracy, and write "endorsed by Reddit, Inc" with a screenshot of the messages from Reddit encouraging the reopening.

Nintendo strat is proven to be the most efficient way of speedrunning a cease and desist letter

With that you'd fuck over the sharing sites as well and I don't think we want that

Honestly its for the best that we move here anyways. Way fewer restrictions over here.

Honestly, regarding the fewer restrictions thing, why do we still have rules against not sharing links? What's gonna stop the community since it's more free from authority?

I'd imagine, if the server the instance is located is in a place like the US, you'd be at risk of being taken down. But I'm just totally guessing.

Plus if the government got overzealous direct links could be trouble for any US based moderators despite where the sever is located.

Id imagine helping maintain and run an online forum that actively shares links directly to illegitimately obtained movies/games/etc. is against the rules somehow.
