This is pretty much how I expected it to go. All we can do now is hope whatever scabs take over are terrible at the job and the ship continues to sink.

reddit stunk anyway, virtually every community was inaccessible to new users and to top it, it wasn't new user friendly with all the stupid perm bans without explanations

They went easy on you. Some overzealous mod permabanned my entire account for talking about Lemmy. Allegedly against their 'content guidelines'

Move all the information here and run power delete suite on you reddit accounts while you still can with links to join-lemmy.org, I think that will hurt them quite a bit.

I wonder how much of r/piracy traffic is people who would migrate to whatever fallback we got, seems like the only way. Fighting reddit whilest using it is pointless

It looks like the sub is now in restricted mode - is that the doing of the other members of the mod team or is admin trying to control outrage?

Pretty ironic text. It's in part because of the trust put in moderators that they feel the need to protest / protest following that obligation.

Yup, this is gonna happen to all the big subreddits sooner or later. /videos is next.

So, is that an order to abandon ship?

I'd be surprised if the subreddit survives the IPO anyways
