Me neither but im definitely on it a lot less, for example right now im browsing lemmy just checking out stuff whats on here etc. Normally i would be doing the same but on reddit, i still do that but a lot less which means less traffic.

Let Reddit die, they've monetized our content and then spit at our faces, especially at the mods.

Please create a decentralized harbor to share piracy related content. Dont visit this site again.

I love the Malicious Compliance from the moderators lately, and the fact John Oliver is just becoming the ultimate meme symbol for the movement and protest.

[–] hydra2023@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just close the sub and make it full link through to this page. 1 link, explain why you've closed and link this Lemmy. Cut your losses & gtfo

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 2 years ago (6 children)

That won't work. That's what we originally did and they demodded me to reopen it

[–] DarkTides@lemmy.fmhy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

What about turning piracy into a porn sub only allowing submissions of pirate themed porn. Seems like the best malicious compliance with how advertisers don't really like to be associated with porn.

[–] porcariasagrada@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

keep it open, add automod(if those will even be possible) explaining the situation in every post linking alternatives.

In case you don't know how to find some relevant pictures to post, have I got just the tool for you!

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/56846

Simply talk to my mastodon bot like this, or my reddit bot like this (You can summon the reddit bot from anywhere in reddit btw)

Alternatively, just use a dedicated client like Lucid Creations or ArtBot and make up your own style

I'm done with Reddit. This latest debacle prompted me to look into Reddit's history, had no idea before. What an awful company. Also a community not subject to corporate interest is better for everyone. Anyway, I'm not going back there so if the sub gets closed down, no skin off my nose. Yeah do what you will.

Allow direct links to pirated content. If they ban you, then so be it.

Question: Would sexy pirate pictures of his fursona, John Ottiver, count?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

of course!

[–] Vertelleus@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's only one choice here...

Open it up and allow only sexy pirate pics?

[–] nicerdicer@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or dedicate the subreddit to a resource for pirat-related stuff i.e. pirate ships, cannons and all that 15th century pirate culture. Like taking the name litarally.

[–] OtakuAltair@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That would still have actual appeal

Not that sexy pirate John Oliver doesn't 🤤

[–] IsThisLemmyOpen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey Captain, this instance seems to be hosted in Germany? Is that correct? How safe are we from the empire? What is our battle plan if this gets shut down? Shouldn't you make an account on one of the other instances so we can coordinate if this does get shut down?

(Also, is it weird to post 2 top level comments? I feel like editing my other one wouldn't get the attention needed, since you don't get notified for edits.)

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 years ago

The rules are there to protect us. If I get enough funding for hosting, I plan to move this to a safer harbor.

Who tf wants discussion about digital piracy on Reddit? Sexy pirate John Oliver pictures is way better

I have already created some ai images and they are so silly. I can't wait.

Would be funny to only allow pictures of John Oliver wearing an eyepatch; so as to not give admins the excuse that the name is unrelated or something.

Then a link to this lemmy comm for 'discussion' around actual online piracy on the sidebar or a pinned post; this is our main hub now after all.

A subreddit poll like what r/pics and r/aww would be great, because then you're just doing what the community wants.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 years ago (6 children)

it's pictures of sexy pirate john oliver

Yarr harr! All hail the swashbuckling matey of Reddit freedom, John Oliver!

[–] promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 2 years ago

Wow, that was my first time back on reddit since all this happened, and even though it was for good, I still feel a bit... unclean. Like I helped them out by sending traffic their way

[–] AtomicPurple@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm disappointed they're just doing the John Oliver thing again instead of something more unique like making the sub about literal high seas piracy.

[–] DarkTides@lemmy.fmhy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

I think it should be literal piracy themed porn, since advertisers don't really like to be associated with porn. Every sub should be moving the shift to becoming porn.

[–] OtakuAltair@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Doing something unique is too engaging.

The entire point is making the site boring and useless so people move

[–] immibis@social.immibis.com 10 points 2 years ago

@AtomicPurple @db0 Now that /r/piracy is officially endorsed by Reddit staff I reckon they should allow direct links to copyright-infringing content. Disney's lawyers would get a good payout from Reddit.

[–] LostCause@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I deleted my accounts and refuse to click Reddit links, so I can‘t vote or even see it, but I hope whatever option is most annoying to the admins wins.

Instead of John Oliver, every post must include a link to this site (lemmy).

John Oliver becoming to redditors what Adam Driver is to John Oliver and I'm here for it

[–] Rentlar@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Glad to see there wasn't a hostile takeover of the sub. +1 for the Lemmy link.

[–] KingYoloHD@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Mmm we need more John Oliver pics

[–] Spirou@exploding-heads.com 5 points 2 years ago

Admins could rig this pretty easily.

[–] lixus98@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I'm just so glad vital parts of piracy were saved, such as the mrgathread and core users of it's community
