Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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

Welp! I'm glad I made the switch to Lemmy at least.

Checking in to say fuck Reddit!

"In analyzing the availability of the immunity offered by Section 230, courts generally apply a three-prong test. A defendant must satisfy each of the three prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:

1. The defendant must be a "provider or user" of an "interactive computer service".
2. The cause of action asserted by the plaintiff must treat the defendant as the "publisher or speaker" of the harmful information at issue.

3. The information must be "provided by another information content provider", i.e., the defendant must not be the "information content provider" of the harmful information at issue."

If Reddit the company is now picking and choosing who approves or blocks harmful information, are they an information content provider now? Are they liable if their chosen mods allow harmful content?

~~Tried to crosspost this to reddit@lemmy.ml but jerboa seems unable to atm. Could someone do that so it spreads? Thanks~~

nvm it just takes a few minutes for the app to show latest posts/comments

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.

Oh captain my captain!

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.

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

Oh my. It has begun.

Scabs, the lot of em

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!

Great thing we are hunkered down here now!

It looks like the sub is now in restricted mode - is that the doing of the other members of the mod team or is admin trying to control outrage?

Should have the mods left there do the bare minimum of modding to not get busted and low-key send people here or something

Admins would probably eventually do something but I wonder how long something like that might be able to last

I think making a subreddit private doesn't work, we need to fully delete them to harm reddit and those redditors who just don't care about the api.

This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying "I have to bend over for the admins because if I don't they'll find someone else who will".

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don't have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit's not about to die but it's best days are in the past. I wouldn't want to be a part of the future of reddit.

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.

Is there a way to archive/clone most posts from r/piracy on here, I think while the api works, that's something we should think about.

Arrgh, if it be mutiny then we stand by ye captain. Unfurl the sails and man the cannons ye land'lubbers.
