Kinda boring to unprivate the subreddit, if it stayed private longer maybe more people would switch to Lemmy - personally I’m staying with Lemmy it’s active enough to replace reddit for me; and better in every way. Social media freedom ❤️❤️
I think the better move would be to unprivate r/Piracy after 48 hours, but restrict posting and leave a link to this community. I think everyone would agree we’re no r/aww or r/funny.
The Piracy subreddit has always been a thorn in Reddit’s side, and it’s a miracle we were able to exist in the first place. It’s a very visible space on a highly public website, it’s not “underground” like most of the piracy community is. It helps people new to piracy understand the do’s and don’t’s, and the wiki helps people have a quick reference on what sites they can use without getting a virus.
I do think the piracy sub will be one of the next targets, it’s only a matter of time. If the sub further restricted itself in anticipation and sent people here it would be able to sustain itself a lot longer.
This is a particular topic that people will be more open to seek out and put slightly more effort for.
I agree, thankfully there have been efforts to archive Reddit in the event the admins decide they’ve had enough of us.
It was a limited scale action to show the impact possible. If reddit indeed won’t move it could become indefinitely. /r/ffxiv already wanted to move it to a week or indefinitely.
The problem is that reddit is going to call the bluff. The lay-user is going to get the shaft, at best mod tools will be beefed up to keep the jannies in the fold, the rest of the site is interchangeable. I doubt most subs will remain closed purely on principle, and if any of the big ones do, there’s probably several power mods perfectly willing to step in.
I think after those 48hrs we will see and discuss further if no positive statement is there from reddit. Also does somebody know if the blackout ende tomorrow or on thursday? because it says 12-14 but everyone is talking about 48hrs.
A site that receives its content for free and was solely created to link content from all over the web is upset that apps are linked to their API for free. Fuck Reddit. Can’t you see? The value isn’t in Reddit, the value is in the consumer. Forget about 48 hours. Reddit is lost for good. Move on.
This goes for every entitled social media company that has been undergoing enshittifcation. They get their content from us for free so for them to have the nerve to turn around and start creating all these rules and fees that worsen our experience is bullshit. We created their value and so when they forget that then we must do our part to take that value away.
