If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…
You must log in or # to comment.
I hate to say this but reddit probably doesn’t care if r/piracy stays dark. We were probably one of the subs they were hoping to get rid of.
With that said i support the movement. The biggest loss is the institutional knowledge since we can’t just search for an old post
Is there a mirror of the sub? It’d be great if we could mirror the content here.
It’s why this blackout has been a blessing, since piracy days on reddit were numbered anyways. I’m glad we got to get our community elsewhere before being randomly banned before there was an opportunity to regroup.
Have had many lost communites like megaupload back in the day that reddit killed off. With how helpful the piracy community has been with stuff like the wiki Reddit would have set their eyes on us anyways in the long run.
Archive.org probably has backed up a lot of stuff. regardless, I’m kinda sad tho that I promised someone I’d send them a file but i procrastinated and this happened, so I can’t find the original comment anymore rip
Hopefully they can find their way here.
I agree fully except with the mirror aspect. Mirroring is what tends to cause the dissolution of alternatives like Lemmy. It makes it too convenient and a target by bigger powers. It is federated but that doesn’t mean it’s invincible. It would be smart to keep it separate and try to let it become its own thing. Grassroots promotion may be the way to go. I mean, I agree, mirroring would be nice and convenient, but we have to be smart and use tact as well.
We have something wonderful here. Let’s keep it going long and strong! 😀
I am ready to leave reddit. Fuck you u/Spez
Remember Lemmy’s growth starts with you, post your favourite things, talk about your favourite things.
Hello everyone! This is my first Lemmy post. :)
I 100% support a permanent shutdown of r/Piracy, but at the same time, I think it would be very useful if the contents of r/Piracy were made available elsewhere for archival purposes. Could the sub be temporarily reopened in read-only mode to allow for it to be scraped? Or is it already available somewhere?
I might consider doing that on the 30th
Yes, only for the purposes of archival and so people who aren’t aware of /r/piracy being reborn like a phoenix on lemmy can find us. But, never unrestricted.
Awesome! Thank you!
We’ll probably need more than one day if the archive includes all of the threads (which also include a lot of good information) and not just the wiki. There is this Reddit importer that can take post and comment data scraped from the Reddit API and import it into Lemmy, but because of the volume of data, it will take a while before the scraping is complete by July 1st.
I’m not going to re-import /r/piracy into lemmy. I am probably going to put /r/piracy into restricted mode eventually
I agree, r/piracy should not be added into Lemmy. It should be separate. Perhaps some kind of archive could be made at some point and made into a torrent or hosted somewhere. Restricted would probably be fine.
I support an indefinite blackout. Pirates are tech-savvy enough to make the Fediverse into a proper new home for themselves. Edit: pressed enter too soon.
Yes, piracy forced me to keep adapting to new stuff whether I wanted to or not. We are made for this.
Glad to see that /r/piracy has some fucking balls. 48 hours won’t do a damn thing. It makes me sad because I love Reddit. Always have, but this shriveled up dickbag, Spez, royally fucking over 3rd party devs by pricing out their apps and even removing the ability to have NSFW content be viewable on their apps is a royal slap in the face in the highest degree.
I understand that as a business you need to turn a profit (I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Capitalist), but completely pricing 3rd party devs out of the market and making mods (who are all VOLUNTEERS btw) use the bullshit, clunky ass first party modding tools aint it. I heard rumor that they would allow 3rd party modding tools and bots via LTT, but I trust nothing.
Reddit is nothing without the community. It was just a place to gather, to congregate and have a discussion.
That can move elsewhere. and reddit can be left to rot.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Reddit will always be home, but when home becomes tainted by the stink of poison, it’s time to leave.
We will sail the ship to the next big community. I hope we have found a home here 🏴☠️
Home is where the heart is and for now, my heart is with lemmy! 🏴☠️
The only reason to go to reddit now is to see where people are migrating to.

/r/Piracy and /r/FMHY were one of my favorite communities of Reddit, I’m so glad they are here in Lemmy!
I was so sure it was just a matter of time before reddit nuked the subs anyways, glad we have somewhere else to meet
Ahoy to our new Ship!. fck you spez
Respect! Let reddit die. It’s time.
Great to see that some subreddits are going dark indefinitely, don’t let them win!
I’m here for this, and appreciate the r sub making a stand.
I do hope the wiki can be set up here. I’m an old woman and I need a lot of support whilst sailing the high seas.
we can all chip in and help!
That’s the spirit buccaneer. There’s always endless loot to go around and spirit to go with it.
Nice. I think the Fediverse is the way to go for communities like this.
I like that it is linked directly from the Private Community message on Reddit. I wish more subreddit picked a new official place and linked it, that way people would actually try something else instead of waiting the end of the blackout.
Reddit can permanently ban mod doing that : /r/adviceanimals was going dark, then the admins booted the head mod and installed an admin friendly one. The excuse was “brigading”.
See this post: https://lemmy.intai.tech/comment/31833
So he’s already replacing mods. Bastard.
I’m really hoping limereader works out as the dev has a really good idea for it.
Exactly. Bring all that discussion and content over here, then we are actually in control of it. We can’t expect anything to change when Reddit thinks there’s no viable alternative.
it’s pretty amazing how the entirety of reddit just united against this change.
Glad to see this community stay strong. Anti-exploitation is in our blood
I’m a recent refugee from r/Piracy. I’m in solidarity with the indefinite blackout.
btw I’m still grasping the whole Lemmy situation. I created an account on Lemmy.world but apparently it doesn’t link here. Any explanation on that?
Sorry, what doesn’t link here? lemmy.world? does this work? https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ?
This one: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
This is not affiliated?
No, that’s a different community. It used to be the official /r/piracy community, but I don’t agree with the politics of lemmy.ml and I also wanted to run my own instance to ensure it stays up
Thank you for running your own instance. That’s the beauty of the fediverse, knowing it can’t be taken down unlike on Reddit where the threat was always present. Will not be visiting Reddit’s piracy page anymore. We’re good here!
See. Thanks for this. Good to know Lemmy allows to self-host instead of Reddit. Still learning the ropes of this vast frontier.
Now I realized it, the header of this sub is Lemmy Kilmister. Hail, Lemmy!
Lemmy is god!
Thanks for hosting!
