If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…
I hate to say this but reddit probably doesn’t care if r/piracy stays dark. We were probably one of the subs they were hoping to get rid of.
With that said i support the movement. The biggest loss is the institutional knowledge since we can’t just search for an old post
Is there a mirror of the sub? It’d be great if we could mirror the content here.
It’s why this blackout has been a blessing, since piracy days on reddit were numbered anyways. I’m glad we got to get our community elsewhere before being randomly banned before there was an opportunity to regroup.
Have had many lost communites like megaupload back in the day that reddit killed off. With how helpful the piracy community has been with stuff like the wiki Reddit would have set their eyes on us anyways in the long run.
Archive.org probably has backed up a lot of stuff. regardless, I’m kinda sad tho that I promised someone I’d send them a file but i procrastinated and this happened, so I can’t find the original comment anymore rip
Hopefully they can find their way here.
I agree fully except with the mirror aspect. Mirroring is what tends to cause the dissolution of alternatives like Lemmy. It makes it too convenient and a target by bigger powers. It is federated but that doesn’t mean it’s invincible. It would be smart to keep it separate and try to let it become its own thing. Grassroots promotion may be the way to go. I mean, I agree, mirroring would be nice and convenient, but we have to be smart and use tact as well.
We have something wonderful here. Let’s keep it going long and strong! 😀
Hello everyone! This is my first Lemmy post. :)
I 100% support a permanent shutdown of r/Piracy, but at the same time, I think it would be very useful if the contents of r/Piracy were made available elsewhere for archival purposes. Could the sub be temporarily reopened in read-only mode to allow for it to be scraped? Or is it already available somewhere?
I might consider doing that on the 30th
Yes, only for the purposes of archival and so people who aren’t aware of /r/piracy being reborn like a phoenix on lemmy can find us. But, never unrestricted.
Awesome! Thank you!
We’ll probably need more than one day if the archive includes all of the threads (which also include a lot of good information) and not just the wiki. There is this Reddit importer that can take post and comment data scraped from the Reddit API and import it into Lemmy, but because of the volume of data, it will take a while before the scraping is complete by July 1st.
I’m not going to re-import /r/piracy into lemmy. I am probably going to put /r/piracy into restricted mode eventually
I agree, r/piracy should not be added into Lemmy. It should be separate. Perhaps some kind of archive could be made at some point and made into a torrent or hosted somewhere. Restricted would probably be fine.
I am ready to leave reddit. Fuck you u/Spez
Just subscribed here and want to say I completely support you doing an indefinite blackout.
Glad to see that /r/piracy has some fucking balls. 48 hours won’t do a damn thing. It makes me sad because I love Reddit. Always have, but this shriveled up dickbag, Spez, royally fucking over 3rd party devs by pricing out their apps and even removing the ability to have NSFW content be viewable on their apps is a royal slap in the face in the highest degree.
I understand that as a business you need to turn a profit (I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Capitalist), but completely pricing 3rd party devs out of the market and making mods (who are all VOLUNTEERS btw) use the bullshit, clunky ass first party modding tools aint it. I heard rumor that they would allow 3rd party modding tools and bots via LTT, but I trust nothing.
Reddit is nothing without the community. It was just a place to gather, to congregate and have a discussion.
That can move elsewhere. and reddit can be left to rot.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Reddit will always be home, but when home becomes tainted by the stink of poison, it’s time to leave.
We will sail the ship to the next big community. I hope we have found a home here 🏴☠️
Home is where the heart is and for now, my heart is with lemmy! 🏴☠️
The only reason to go to reddit now is to see where people are migrating to.

Ahoy to our new Ship!. fck you spez
Agreed. We’re here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.
100%. It appears to me this new community is already serving the purpose of the old one!
Sounds good to me. The people participating in piracy are the type to quickly adapt to changing technology. Let’s embrace this opportunity.
/r/Piracy and /r/FMHY were one of my favorite communities of Reddit, I’m so glad they are here in Lemmy!
I was so sure it was just a matter of time before reddit nuked the subs anyways, glad we have somewhere else to meet
Respect! Let reddit die. It’s time.
Nice, fuck spez, the users are the ones with all the power.
Great to see that some subreddits are going dark indefinitely, don’t let them win!
Been asking for an indefinite blackout, glad to see this has become reality!
it’s pretty amazing how the entirety of reddit just united against this change.
Nice. I think the Fediverse is the way to go for communities like this.
