Is there a list of subs that moved/duplicated the sub to Lemmy/Kbin/similar and run by the same mods?
If not, let us know in the comments!
I think the mods here need to start removing off-topic posts. Otherwise people see them and keep perpetuating the trend…
This is a community specifically for the lemmy.world instance; not reddit. Please post content like this on lemmy.world/c/reddit. These off-topic posts are strangling out relevant posts here.
There’s also lemmy.world/c/general for just general discussion.
Me too. Type the exclamation mark, then the community name, and it’ll do a search for matching communities. Great shortcut.
Not that I know of. If no one has one, maybe we should compose one.
r/piracy has officially moved to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
but reddit’s forced them to reopen the sub (yes, a piracy sub lmao)… let’s see what kind of !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world thing they come up with lol
No, but that is not what they said, they said they were forced to reopen. That happened in such a way: they sent a message to the main mod and told him to reopen or be replaced. He didn‘t respond within an hour, so they removed him as main mod and made some other mod who was willing to play ball the main mod.
Since there is always some sucker to be found on Reddit who enjoys taking orders and licking boots, no sub can really defend against this move by Reddit admins. Which is probably why some other mods decided to maliciously comply instead.
Me, I think anyone with some dignity would go out like the r/piracy mod did, don‘t respond and get removed and rebuild elsewhere.
Yeah. Also I remember when loveforlandlords went from a shitpost sub for making memes about landlords from the perspective of the landlords to a cringe sub about non-jokingly hating on landlords because some degenerate couldn’t fathom the existence of such a sub, even tho there’s a sub for serious hating on landlords already. He became the main mod, kicked everybody else and the others made loveforlandchads instead
Just like this, Reddit kicked DB0 and he made the Lemmy server
An hour? Bloody hell, what if they had wanted to but had been asleep or something?

Yeah, pretty much. To not reopen you have to have absolute confidence that no one on the mod team will succumb to the temptation to steal ownership of the sub. The fact that some subs have fallen prey to this (like /r/piracy) is why mods have been wringing their hands and reopening subs left and right.
Honestly this shit is early IRC drama all over again; kick all the other ops from the channel and it belongs to you, provided those people aren’t registered in the ChanServ. /u/spez is the ChanServ, and he’s letting everyone know he’s willing to look the other way.
I don’t think the mod refused to respond if this is to be believed. It seems Reddit sent a message but at a bad time (for the mod). He apparently never got a chance to respond.
Can’t force people to use Reddit but they can make mods open subs or else they get booted and replaced by good little lap dogs. That’s why DB0 opened up on Lemmy. But I’ll never know why they force opened PIRACY lol
Reddit can tell moderators who have locked their sub that they have a choice of opening it, or get removed as moderators and be replaced by admin appointees.
