Now that most of r/Piracy seems to be on the fediverse now, maybe reddit’s advertisers would like to know that they endorse digital piracy. Might fuck up their IPO.
Someone commented this place on the post about the subreddit reopening. That’s how I got here. I backuped the megathread before realizing this community existed lol
The “zst” extension is used for files that are compressed with the ZSTD algorithm, usually you see them as “.tar.zst” files in the *nix world - tl;dr, they’re Linux ZIP files.
Should be fine up until the point where lemmy takes off. Then the meme/shit-posts begin. Reddit was pretty on topic back in the day when it was smaller.
Reddit staff wants to bring down stuff like piracy subs, they want you to break the rules en masse so they can shut it down. Sure we can say “oh boo hoo we have Lemmy” but how many people don’t? How many people won’t bother with Lemmy? How many don’t know about it? How many people will DL from Steamunlocked? How many will torrent from the Bay using Bitlord? The Megatgread is still crucial info that needs to be accessible to as many people as possible
If you read the Megathread piracy will be second nature but if you don’t and then get malware after malware, at some point you’ll say “fuck it” and stop, which will deter a lot of people
Sorry, I thought having more potential seeders (of good torrents) would be better than having less potential seeders. Maybe I was wrong in wanting information to be widely accessible
The path to the Megathread will always be available wherever it goes, but people need to act. Reddit is no longer safe to be a pirate in entrapment or otherwise (might be negligence). If you keep complaining and perpetuating the status quo then you can be dead sure the information will never move off Reddit, where you can give these snarky neckbeard responses instead of quality answers.

We need a home away from reddit for a long time. Always was scared of the ban hammer. Thank you Spez for giving us all the push we needed!
Is there a link to this community in there yet? I’m not adding any traffic to reddit to check it out lol
Really needs to be if not. I suspect it’d be a major way for people to find this comm; this is now the main hub after all
It’s in the sidebar under “fallback” or something like that.
Still under fallback huh? That’s a shame

I only discovered lemmy because, during the blackout, r/piracy linked here lol. Very useful, glad they did because lemmy is so good

You gotta edit the link and make a spacing between the / and the ; Because the link doesn’t work unless you edit the link itself…

Dear googlers from the future after the-eye goes down: the archive can be easily downloaded from this magnet link assuming people are still seeding it
Oh incredible. I see some subreddits that sent my down nostalgia lane too link megalinks. How do you view zst files anyways? I’ve never seen that.

As for how to open them on Windows or MacOS, idk.
That is very weird of reddit to force open a PIRACY subreddit of all things
They probably didn’t directly target /r/piracy but blanket hit all subs of a certain size.
The humor / memes posts there are the most annoying. I hope we don’t see such low effort posts here.
Can we just have a separate community for piracy memes?
the humor posts are my favorite tbh, but the guides n shit are also super cool
Should be fine up until the point where lemmy takes off. Then the meme/shit-posts begin. Reddit was pretty on topic back in the day when it was smaller.
The newest post on /r/piracy gave “go wild posting links and tank this site” vibes.
Moderation team being forced to moderate against their will? Would be a shame if people started posting site rule breaking content over there
How does one force unpaid jannies to keep working for free? Asking for a friend.
Do you think that sort of engagement isn’t exactly what reddit is trying to encourage lol
oh yeah, reddit is going to love getting all those DMCA’s. I should post a nintendo ROM repository!

And then your obscure torrents will be more likely to have 0 seeders
Lemmy has the megathread and the rest can stay there at their own risk.
