We should go and save the useful info to re-post it here, it’s a good opportunity to migrate all the information.
The newest post on /r/piracy gave “go wild posting links and tank this site” vibes.
That is very weird of reddit to force open a PIRACY subreddit of all things
.
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.
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.
As for how to open them on Windows or MacOS, idk.
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…
Moderation team being forced to moderate against their will? Would be a shame if people started posting site rule breaking content over there
Do you think that sort of engagement isn’t exactly what reddit is trying to encourage lol
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
There’s an awful lot of TERRBILE ‘information’ on there though. What we don’t need are thousands of posts from idiots who don’t know what a torrent is, what a seeder is, what ddl is, why they receieved a warning notice, or a those idiotic ‘why I pirate’ shitposts.
“Why I pirate” was so annoying. It was like a lamp to the edgy moths who loved to bullshit how they’re thieves and criminals and aren’t afraid to admit it. Homie you’re copying somebody else’s copy of somebody else’s copy of somebody else’s copy of a bunch of files, you aren’t slicing Spanish sailors’ throats and plundering sugar, rum, food and drinking water from merchants and trading vessels
Yep. We objectively steal stuff (the question if it is morally correct is irrelevant) so why do we need to justify it? To ourselves?
