If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…

    I’m a recent refugee from r/Piracy. I’m in solidarity with the indefinite blackout.

    btw I’m still grasping the whole Lemmy situation. I created an account on Lemmy.world but apparently it doesn’t link here. Any explanation on that?

    Just subscribed here and want to say I completely support you doing an indefinite blackout.

    Agreed. We’re here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.

    I mean blacking out forever should be what r/piracy is doing. If r/piracy reopens, then the admins are more incentivised to ban it, whereas if it remains private, we can still have the description up to redirect visitors to this lemmy, and since the subreddit is private, admins couldn’t care less about it since there is no legitimate DMCA claims for a privated subreddit. They might still eventually ban it, but being private will put the act of banning r/piracy into a lower priority, so the lemmy redirect lasts longer.

        Interesting point, but I don’t they admins care about rules anymore. They just do whatever they feel like. Sure they can give it to someone else, then what? Change the description to “Piracy is Bad”? Thats the same as getting banned. The way I see it, r/piracy is getting banned sooner or later, but privating it will make us less of a priority to admins and its giving us more time to recuit people.

    Sounds good to me. The people participating in piracy are the type to quickly adapt to changing technology. Let’s embrace this opportunity.
