@AtomicPurple@db0 Now that /r/piracy is officially endorsed by Reddit staff I reckon they should allow direct links to copyright-infringing content. Disney’s lawyers would get a good payout from Reddit.
I think it should be literal piracy themed porn, since advertisers don’t really like to be associated with porn. Every sub should be moving the shift to becoming porn.
Me neither but im definitely on it a lot less, for example right now im browsing lemmy just checking out stuff whats on here etc. Normally i would be doing the same but on reddit, i still do that but a lot less which means less traffic.
Better do it soon, I just did mine the other day. I really didn’t want to do it cause it kind of screws over people searching for answers from Google but fuck Reddit
I deleted my accounts and refuse to click Reddit links, so I can‘t vote or even see it, but I hope whatever option is most annoying to the admins wins.
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to allow sexy pirate John Oliver posts only at reopening.
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to return to normal operations at reopening.
Scores are hidden, so there’s no way to see which is winning yet. However, every sub that’s done something similar so far has come out John Oliver themed.
What about turning piracy into a porn sub only allowing submissions of pirate themed porn. Seems like the best malicious compliance with how advertisers don’t really like to be associated with porn.
I’m done with Reddit. This latest debacle prompted me to look into Reddit’s history, had no idea before. What an awful company. Also a community not subject to corporate interest is better for everyone. Anyway, I’m not going back there so if the sub gets closed down, no skin off my nose. Yeah do what you will.
Wow, that was my first time back on reddit since all this happened, and even though it was for good, I still feel a bit… unclean. Like I helped them out by sending traffic their way
I love the Malicious Compliance from the moderators lately, and the fact John Oliver is just becoming the ultimate meme symbol for the movement and protest.
Reddit wants content and clicks, ‘site engagement,’ which r/piracy provides. It couldn’t care less if you post John Oliver pix, the Unabomber manifesto, or plot cunning ploys to oust u/spez – 'long as you do it & do it on reddit.
Or dedicate the subreddit to a resource for pirat-related stuff i.e. pirate ships, cannons and all that 15th century pirate culture. Like taking the name litarally.

I’m disappointed they’re just doing the John Oliver thing again instead of something more unique like making the sub about literal high seas piracy.

Doing something unique is too engaging.
The entire point is making the site boring and useless so people move
I’m still confused why they forcefully reopen a subreddit about PIRACY? 🤔🤔🤔 Shouldn’t they actually be glad that it closed?
Because they know people will actually leave reddit if it’s closed
and we did
I didn’t leave because the subs are private
Me neither but im definitely on it a lot less, for example right now im browsing lemmy just checking out stuff whats on here etc. Normally i would be doing the same but on reddit, i still do that but a lot less which means less traffic.
I bailed as soon as the blackout happened. I’m over it. I’ll go back but only to rewrite my history.
Better do it soon, I just did mine the other day. I really didn’t want to do it cause it kind of screws over people searching for answers from Google but fuck Reddit
I’m only on reddit till Infinity dies.
Same here. Hoping infinity makes it, but Lemmy is here to hold me.
infinity dev said that it will be easy for someone (dev) to make infinity compatible with lemmy i wish someone do it
Someone, if I’m not mistaken, have made something to help convert any reddit client to a lemmy client. I don’t remember though…
I deleted my accounts and refuse to click Reddit links, so I can‘t vote or even see it, but I hope whatever option is most annoying to the admins wins.
Options are:
Scores are hidden, so there’s no way to see which is winning yet. However, every sub that’s done something similar so far has come out John Oliver themed.
Well Option 2 is a stinker, easy choice for anyone who isn‘t a spez sockpuppet.
I’m just looking forward to the funny John Oliver edits hitting lemmy and maybe an episode on enshittification of corporate social media.
I want there to be a piracy sub because Nintendo sucks no one develops games for linux fsr.
!switchpiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, !newyuzupiracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, !linux_gaming@lemmy.world.
I also think this comm is getting bigger fast enough that it’s enough of a substitute for the subreddit already.
Just close the sub and make it full link through to this page. 1 link, explain why you’ve closed and link this Lemmy. Cut your losses & gtfo
That won’t work. That’s what we originally did and they demodded me to reopen it

were you the only mod? or are there other people that are still involved that could help. i didn’t really pay attention to the mod list
the captain of our ship!
He was top mod
he was the top mod they would simply demote people or put a super mod in till they are pleased.
keep it open, add automod(if those will even be possible) explaining the situation in every post linking alternatives.

Same here Lemmy has been more than enough for me, a little harder to search but the curated feeds are perfect

Why are you clickbaiting to Reddit
I love the Malicious Compliance from the moderators lately, and the fact John Oliver is just becoming the ultimate meme symbol for the movement and protest.
Would be funny to only allow pictures of John Oliver wearing an eyepatch; so as to not give admins the excuse that the name is unrelated or something.
Then a link to this lemmy comm for ‘discussion’ around actual online piracy on the sidebar or a pinned post; this is our main hub now after all.
A subreddit poll like what r/pics and r/aww would be great, because then you’re just doing what the community wants.
it’s pictures of sexy pirate john oliver
This is what I want to see personally.
That what I want to see irrespective of the blackout
Why would sexy pirate john oliver pix in r/piracy bother reddit more than posts about piracy?
I don’t know, ask u/spez who seems adamant to keep the sub open

Hell yeah
Question: Would sexy pirate pictures of his fursona, John Ottiver, count?
That sentence is cursed.
Thank you. :)
of course!
Aw yiss. You know what’s cookin’?
Fucking hell that T shirt with Abs lol overall it looks pretty awesome but also comical.
is this stable diffusion ? and if yes which model?
Yes and Deliberate, but I’m using Loras as well
John Oliver so sexy you don’t even have to ask the AI to make him so …
Mmm we need more John Oliver pics
Open it up and allow only sexy pirate pics?
Or dedicate the subreddit to a resource for pirat-related stuff i.e. pirate ships, cannons and all that 15th century pirate culture. Like taking the name litarally.
That would still have actual appeal
Not that sexy pirate John Oliver doesn’t 🤤
