I think we have to keep up the protest.
Personally, I find Lemmy much better than Reddit. All that’s missing is for users to follow the movement, but that’s not going to happen.
Well, the sub had gone downhill recently anyway - endless memes or posts about ‘what is seeding’ ‘what is a vpn’ ‘what is plex’ or just idiots who got an ISP notice and think it means they are going to jail.
Exactly. I was active in the sub for a few days after the move, inviting them to Lemmy, but found it exhausting. Though it did help those confused it seems.
I’m happy here; things will only get better when Sync for Lemmy and Memmy fully release.
Well, the project will be impacted for sure; latest news was that the devs were thinking about adding an option for instance operators to add their own API key…
There’s chances, yes… But the devs of Libreddit are trying to implement workarounds, like giving instance’s operators an option to add their own API key.
thanks for making people aware of this. i’d already deleted my reddit account in 2021 or so; libreddit was my only interaction with reddit for more than a year even before I came to lemmy, so I don’t know if i’m even considered a “reddit refugee”, ha.
it always surprises me how few people know about libreddit and teddit (its old reddit looking counterpart) even in places such as hwre

My take, I think a piracy subreddit protesting is useless since were already on thin ice. Some people just want advice on any issues they are having and not many of them know about lemmy. If anyone will convince Reddit to change their API policy, it aint us. Let the normies get their questions answered and the news flowing.
I can’t read comments over there anymore, they’ve become some of the biggest bootlickers on the site. Moving to Lemmy was a very effective way to filter out all the dipshits.
It’s nuts, the drop in quality since even two weeks ago(let alone 2 years ago) is actually insane. I always thought 90-9-1 was a bit of copium by users wanting to feel more important than they were, but even the relatively small protests/migration has torpedoed the atmosphere generally.
It made me realize that the general quality of reddit had gone severely downhill, but more slowly and imperceptibly. This recent migration just really highlights that. Now looking at what’s left it’s really reminding me of what I used to like about it and how little of that is left. The slow and steady growth of lemmy is really exciting to see because it’s a good portion of the folks who were interested in the community/content aspect of reddit.
Fucking same. I hope someone recognizes their scab usernames and kicks them out of private pirate communities because such people are legit a massive opsec hole. But who am i kidding there noobs are probably just leeching off pirate bay only
They were happy to come in and get everything for free from us, now that they are inconvenienced by a decade of content production/moderation being screwed over, they don’t care at all.
I would say let the people who want to stay on reddit have it. This protest was the best thing that could have happened to /r/piracy, because now there is this place with 17k subscribers. I know there was another backup before this, but I don’t think it was this popular. And if reddit will go public there is a good chance that that subreddit will be banned or quarantined and at that point it would have been hard to spread information about something like this place.
I don‘t even think it‘s worth it for me to go and vote, just gives spez a click he doesn‘t deserve. Maybe best for me to leave it up to those who still give a shit about Reddit to decide what they want to do with their platform. As long as this instance is up, I‘m good! Ty db0!
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Come to think about it, third party apps was the reason the sub was tolerable for me because I could filter out posts flagged as humor.
Surprisingly, the “stop protesting” is winning the vote.
yeah, but those are the ones left who want to remain on that platform. you can post more stuff here so they’re missing out by not coming over here.
Maybe because a lot of users have left the subreddit and moved here?
because idiots need somewhere to ask ‘what exactly is seeding’ for the 100th time
Yarrr. Even pirates have principles.
The comments are spicy, the mods are hated there.
It’s because the people who agree with us have already moved here.
Exactly. I was active in the sub for a few days after the move, inviting them to Lemmy, but found it exhausting. Though it did help those confused it seems.

Yeah man Memmy has been really good. Seems like a perfect Apollo replacement.
Hell yeah, it got alot of people to Lemmy.
I’m very curious how reddit will handle it; they would probably hesitate openly supporting a piracy sub by putting in new mods
It would be funny af though, they might automate the whole shebang and suddenly they’d be supporting piracy.
Libreddit mirror, don’t give reddit clicks
And in addition, you can install an extension such as Libredirect that’ll automatically redirect Reddit links to mirror sites.
Won’t the mirror sites will cease to function once the Reddit API changes take effect?
Well, the project will be impacted for sure; latest news was that the devs were thinking about adding an option for instance operators to add their own API key…
Will this get broken with the API changes on July 1st?

Wow my occasional research dives are guilt free now? Epic
Thanks a bunch, I was going to do this on the pi-hole side lol
You’re welcome, happy if I could save you some time 😊
Great stuff, didn’t know that it aexisted thanks for sharing
Oh that is cool. I’ll have to use as from now on, shame can’t login to your account so you can have all your sub at
EDIT: you can choose which subreddits to follow. Will be good to get off the addiction.
Thanks for the tip.

I think you’re an expat.
r/piracy is living on borrowed time. Let’s leave on our own terms for once!
I mean r/piracy is running on borrowed time, might as well use its last moments as a redirect.
Ha, 404 suggesting a 301.
Huh, I thought I changed the display name. So the federation is still broken…
Fuck ye

I’m just surprised Reddit made the fuss to force r/piracy back open. I’m sure it was a generic “send messages to top X subs” but still.
I can’t read comments over there anymore, they’ve become some of the biggest bootlickers on the site. Moving to Lemmy was a very effective way to filter out all the dipshits.
I joked at first, but I think there’s some serious brain drain going on.

yeah… since the reddit clown debucle place turned into bootlicker central

While I was not the intended target, that got kinda personal toward the end :P

well, of you mean shutting down the sub permenantly and convincing redditors to finally migrate then sure, otherwise its pointless
We had the sub shut down they demoded me to reopen it
make a post on r/piracy and make as much noise as possible, ruin the sub, dont give them the chance, go apeshit
I did and we did. This vote is because we did
well shit I have no idea I already deleted all of my posts and comments (then I deleted my account)
