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.

This should somehow be made known outside the fediverse, to bring more people away from reddit and to here

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

please do share. I can only spread the word so much.

I'd be surprised if the subreddit survives the IPO anyways

Well, good thing that you prepared well in advance and have already built a nice alternative.

Reddit is done

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

Reopen with the new rules: All posts must relate to the golden age of piracy!

Its an industrial lockout so classically you either organize and strike even harder or burn down the capitalist pigs factory.

Our new ship is strong!

[–] user@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

😪 sadge. Hopefully something comes better out of this 🤷

Here come the scab mods!

[–] ethane@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Make sure you remove any and all bots created, and delete all the custom work you did. Reddit can probably restore it, but it'll take them time and effort to do so.

[–] lka1988@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They can restore the bot accounts, sure, but they can't restore the servers that run those bot accounts.

This bullshit made me nuke my 30k karma account. I hope lemmy won't die month later.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's literally impossible! An instance may go down, but it will stay cached.

Okie, I'm absolute noob here. Right now I struggle to find night mode. :D

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.

[–] yukichigai@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, didn't figure they'd go so blatantly mask off this early on. They must be nervous.

Also dumb. Have they never dealt with pirates before? Cut off one head and two more grow to replace it. Good luck you shmucks.

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

We'll just tell the pirates that what they're doing is wrong and they'll stop right? Right?

[–] flybynightpotato@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The second mod did it. They did not contact me at all so it seems they're communicating with the admins

[–] flybynightpotato@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ugh, this is so shitty! On multiple levels! I'm sorry. Guess we're just being further proven correct in our decision to gtfo.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's honestly quite funny. I would have thought piracy is the one sub they wouldn't care if it's down.

Reddit: "open up so we can ban you!"

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They went easy on you. Some overzealous mod permabanned my entire account for talking about Lemmy. Allegedly against their 'content guidelines'

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Your entire account would have to be admin level wouldn't it?

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

[–] ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They will simply restore the content.

Users have reported they are restoring comments they deleted using Power Delete Suite.

[–] andobando@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Edit your content, dont just delete

[–] Bjoern_Tantau@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

They could undo that as well. My current plan is to get all my data via GDPR request, host it on my server so that my useful posts and comments don't get lost forever and then order them to delete all my stuff via a GDPR request.

[–] amansrevenger@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah in the antiwork subreddit my comments are instantly shadowbanned, my old comments in other subs show up , reddit is in major emergency mode apparently.

Good
