Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins.

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.

This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.

This bullshit made me nuke my 30k karma account. I hope lemmy won’t die month later.

db0 OP ,

That’s literally impossible! An instance may go down, but it will stay cached.

rvreq ,

Okie, I’m absolute noob here. Right now I struggle to find night mode. :D

Karma is for noobs and tryhards.

This should somehow be made known outside the fediverse, to bring more people away from reddit and to here

db0 OP ,

please do share. I can only spread the word so much.

user ,

Its an industrial lockout so classically you either organize and strike even harder or burn down the capitalist pigs factory.

Iconoclast ,

Haha what the fuck I really did NOT think they would do that to r/piracy of all things. Ah well fuck them and their shitty IPO. I‘m here with you guys for good, the structure of the fediverse suits our purposes and community better anyway.

Contend6248 ,

I would imagine that can lead to legal troubles endorsing r/piracy willingly?

Accepting it is one thing, but forcing it to open is entirely different.

Iconoclast ,

I would imagine too, but who knows, there is a different set of rules for companies and the rich.

Now that Reddit is asserting direct control over it, maybe they‘ll turn it into an anti-piracy sub to prevent any legal trouble.

They went easy on you. Some overzealous mod permabanned my entire account for talking about Lemmy. Allegedly against their ‘content guidelines’

Your entire account would have to be admin level wouldn’t it?

Not sure mate. I’ve had a target on my back for the last couple of years I believe. I had a bunch of accounts at one stage for different purposes. I used to post a lot of long-form content: reviews, how-to tech guides etc etc and as a self preservation technique I kept each niche to a seperate account.

Over the last 2 years I had one 11 year old account, one 8 year old account and another few fresher ones perma-banned with no reason given, or just the flimsiest excuse under the sun. I must have really pissed off one of the mods/ admins - they can track you by IP and browser info etc.

Given the size of Reddit, admins don’t check when mods abuse users, I had my 10 yr account with 150K nearly permabanned because of a mod banning me from my own countries sub for posting a non offensive meme on the wrong day.

I wasn’t logged in on a computer, was using Reddit which showed me my local subs by default and the saved login credentials was a different alt.

I was typing a comment reply, realised I wasn’t logged and signed in with the other alt, didn’t realise it wasn’t another local sub and I got suspended Reddit wide for “ban evasion” and nearly lost a decade old major account because a mod in my countries sub abused their position.

I never retaliated, wasn’t rude, didn’t genuinely try to evade the ban and nearly lost a decade of activity.

There are a lot of benefits to the fediverse and I plan on hosting my own personal instance soon.

Beardliest ,

Lol, gtfo. Fuck that place anyway.

PirateForDaLolz ,

lol imagine being so desperate for the protest to come to an end that you are even targeting a community that engages in legally questionable activity.

I’m sure the process of determining what mods to DM was automated, but even so, it’s still pretty funny to me.

NM156 ,

This shouldn’t be a surprise… It was only a matter of time after Reddit got taken over by the CCP…

moistclump ,

Explain?

Lightor ,

I can’t even begin to imagine what the world looks like to you.

Guy_Fieris_Hair ,

Seems like reddit openly aknowledging they have this kind of power, control, and willingness to take administrative action in a piracy sub would open them up to some DMCA issues for hosting it.

citable6704 ,

1: Funny we were all in here like two days ago saying “they’ll probably be happy to have the piracy sub gone”

2: Any member of the existing mod team that helps them is a fucking scab

3: Everyone else has made a good point about some potential liability issues of reddit the corporation wresting control of the piracy subreddit into their own hands

4: There are so many layers of irony with a corporation saying people need to have access to the community that tells them how to commit copyright infringement and then forcing that information into the open despite what its caretakers wish.
