We should go and save the useful info to re-post it here, it’s a good opportunity to migrate all the information.

    Moderation team being forced to moderate against their will? Would be a shame if people started posting site rule breaking content over there

      forced to moderate against their will

      How does one force unpaid jannies to keep working for free? Asking for a friend.

      Reddit staff wants to bring down stuff like piracy subs, they want you to break the rules en masse so they can shut it down. Sure we can say “oh boo hoo we have Lemmy” but how many people don’t? How many people won’t bother with Lemmy? How many don’t know about it? How many people will DL from Steamunlocked? How many will torrent from the Bay using Bitlord? The Megatgread is still crucial info that needs to be accessible to as many people as possible

      If you read the Megathread piracy will be second nature but if you don’t and then get malware after malware, at some point you’ll say “fuck it” and stop, which will deter a lot of people

          Sorry, I thought having more potential seeders (of good torrents) would be better than having less potential seeders. Maybe I was wrong in wanting information to be widely accessible

            The path to the Megathread will always be available wherever it goes, but people need to act. Reddit is no longer safe to be a pirate in entrapment or otherwise (might be negligence). If you keep complaining and perpetuating the status quo then you can be dead sure the information will never move off Reddit, where you can give these snarky neckbeard responses instead of quality answers.

    There’s an awful lot of TERRBILE ‘information’ on there though. What we don’t need are thousands of posts from idiots who don’t know what a torrent is, what a seeder is, what ddl is, why they receieved a warning notice, or a those idiotic ‘why I pirate’ shitposts.

      “Why I pirate” was so annoying. It was like a lamp to the edgy moths who loved to bullshit how they’re thieves and criminals and aren’t afraid to admit it. Homie you’re copying somebody else’s copy of somebody else’s copy of somebody else’s copy of a bunch of files, you aren’t slicing Spanish sailors’ throats and plundering sugar, rum, food and drinking water from merchants and trading vessels

        Yep. We objectively steal stuff (the question if it is morally correct is irrelevant) so why do we need to justify it? To ourselves?

          We don’t steal, we copy stuff we shouldn’t. Big difference. Both are bad but different

    Is there a link to this community in there yet? I’m not adding any traffic to reddit to check it out lol

    Really needs to be if not. I suspect it’d be a major way for people to find this comm; this is now the main hub after all

    Now that most of r/Piracy seems to be on the fediverse now, maybe reddit’s advertisers would like to know that they endorse digital piracy. Might fuck up their IPO.

      We need a home away from reddit for a long time. Always was scared of the ban hammer. Thank you Spez for giving us all the push we needed!
