On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced a policy change that will kill essentially every third-party Reddit app now operating, from...

If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…

it’s pretty amazing how the entirety of reddit just united against this change.

so this is the official lemmy community for those who left r/Piracy?

Just to be clear, are you referring to the Spez that used to moderate /r/jailbait ?

/r/Piracy and /r/FMHY were one of my favorite communities of Reddit, I’m so glad they are here in Lemmy!

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.

Even if they reverse course completely I don’t think I’m ever going back

Agreed. We’re here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.

Sounds good to me. The people participating in piracy are the type to quickly adapt to changing technology. Let’s embrace this opportunity.

Just subscribed here and want to say I completely support you doing an indefinite blackout.

Been asking for an indefinite blackout, glad to see this has become reality!

Well, I hope this means that all those who followed this subreddit will come over here because, in the end, if Lemmy provides enough content to be a Reddit successor, it will succeed but, if it becomes a mere shadow of what was available there, it’ll fade away just like some of the “Twitter replacement” platforms have.

Indefinite blackout is so fucking stupid stance in my opinion. It is between reddit and the owners of 3rd party apps. Let the fucking subs live so we can get what we want from there

What about the users of the third party apps?

switch to the native app. It’s better. Tried the third party apps they are not better than the native app

If the native app was better, you wouldn’t have millions of users using 3rd party apps. Apollo alone had 1.5 million users.

you can definitely stop using reddit once the 3rd party app goes dowb btw reddit native app has more than that so either use that or tell your third party creators to pay the money

I’ve been using Relay since 2013, before the official app existed. It is better than the official app in every way: it’s UI is cleaner, it’s quicker, it’s easier to follow comment threads and sort them, etc. Not to mention that there are no “sponsored” posts (ads) and banner apps every other post or comment…

How is the first party app better, exactly?

Or just get it here… r/piracy was always precariously close to getting banned anyway. I’d be shocked if it didn’t get banned before IPO.

Sync for Reddit is thinking of working on Lemmy support. If the big apps move to Lemmy, it could push a lot of traffic to it and keep the exodus going. Encourage it on syncs GitHub and discord server.
