Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

So, is that an order to abandon ship?

[-] Bojimbo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

It's fascinating that they would let the r/Piracy sub be forced back, you'd think that it would be in their interest to let it stay shut as long as possible and quietly close it.

Arrgh, if it be mutiny then we stand by ye captain. Unfurl the sails and man the cannons ye land'lubbers.

Here come the scab mods!

Seems like reddit openly aknowledging they have this kind of power, control, and willingness to take administrative action in a piracy sub would open them up to some DMCA issues for hosting it.

[-] yukichigai@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, didn't figure they'd go so blatantly mask off this early on. They must be nervous.

Also dumb. Have they never dealt with pirates before? Cut off one head and two more grow to replace it. Good luck you shmucks.

[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

We'll just tell the pirates that what they're doing is wrong and they'll stop right? Right?

[-] PirateForDaLolz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

lol imagine being so desperate for the protest to come to an end that you are even targeting a community that engages in legally questionable activity.

I'm sure the process of determining what mods to DM was automated, but even so, it's still pretty funny to me.

This should somehow be made known outside the fediverse, to bring more people away from reddit and to here

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

please do share. I can only spread the word so much.

[-] pillems@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I say transfer as much as you can over here, then nuke the sub completely. The source of knowledge are mostly here now and everything else can be rebuild. We are pirates, we don't yield easily and can survive anywhere.

They are afraid. Gold, just means we need to keep working on making this community better. Stronger.

[-] RedCanasta@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Look at them using the community and users as a shield and a bargaining chip.

[-] 0C72@links.hackliberty.org 0 points 2 years ago

It's pathetic, really. They say it doesn't affect them but then they threaten and force people to reopen

I think this calls for the subreddit to get rm -rf /*'d so that reddit gets nothing.

Reddit is fucked. I have a stash of memes to post when it’s time to brigade.

Archive and delete is the only language those scurvy dogs speak.

Remaining mods should just do what r/pics has done. Change the subreddit's topic to posting sexy pictures of John Oliver.

The subreddit is open so you complied. Reddit didn't dictate that you keep or change any rules so changing the subreddit rules so that only posts about sexy John Oliver pictures are allowed would have the same effect as the blackout.
