The fact that even happened tbh is insane tbh, but I’m so glad that people are now jumping ship tbh esp what the dumb decisions Reddit has made in the past couple of years.

You are being very honest

From now on, unless I see three declarations of honesty, I’m going to assume they are being at least somewhat dishonest.

My reply to to be honest is always oh, were you lying before?.

Usually gets a confused laugh.

Paid posts are one thing, but that’s just the beginning. What’d be next? Sponsored links on the sub sidebar or megathread? That’ll be a very slippery slope.

I honestly see no reason to use Reddit for its Piracy Megathread. Lemmy’s user base is much more friendly, helpful and the Megathread here is the same (if not better) organized than there.

Not only that, I remember there was quite some problems among the mods on Reddit. So I’m not surprised something like this happened. Once there’s a slight fracture, it’ll slowly but steadily get broken into pieces entirely.

I don’t see much decent content on both Piracy and PiratedGames subreddit anyway. Majority is memes, ‘is this safe’ and spam posts about empress.

The megathread is here if anyone is wondering

it was never a matte of if. only when

The mod u/Furdiburd10 who manually approved and stickied the post has been removed from the mod team. Reddit’s spam filter actually caught it early on and the community helped mass report. They also fully censored comments from yall calling it out.

What a giant loser.

It’s harder for corruption and lawyers to target multiple instances rather than one centralized location
