Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

Good riddance I say, this seems a lot better than reddit anyways! Thanks for getting this going!

LMAO and these guys wanting to reopen /r/piracy are awaiting IPO. Any investor not seeing the issues at hand here deserve all the misfortune they'll get.

reddit stunk anyway, virtually every community was inaccessible to new users and to top it, it wasn't new user friendly with all the stupid perm bans without explanations

This is pretty much how I expected it to go. All we can do now is hope whatever scabs take over are terrible at the job and the ship continues to sink.

Seems like reddit openly aknowledging they have this kind of power, control, and willingness to take administrative action in a piracy sub would open them up to some DMCA issues for hosting it.

Archive and delete is the only language those scurvy dogs speak.

O captain, my captain!

That's just crazy. I still don't fully know what's going on with reddit but from what I've heard it's just bs but I'm here for support. Happy sailing everyone!

I see there is a notice there now that the sub will open in 3 days. Nuts.

Be sure to remove as much as you can and heavily encourage heavy contributors to delete their comment history. They have no value without our data.

"Your users rely on your community for information, support, entertainment, and finding connection with others who have similar interests."

We do indeed rely on your community for that! And we've been doing just fine without Reddit. :)

Great thing we are hunkered down here now!

Well there goes my reddit account. r/Piracy was one of my biggest resources and it seems to be going in an unfortunate direction, so I don't see a point for giving reddit my data.
