I'm also going viral on mastodon. WTF is going on?! :D
The best troll would be to just openly allow actual direct link piracy on /r/piracy. if reddit bans /r/piracy, then it functionally re-privates the sub (the thing they wanted to avoid). And if they allow it, then it's a bastion of actual piracy. win-win!
I like the idea of trying to get as many DMCA requests against it as possible so that reddit has to deal with them
they wanted it open lol
That is a galaxy brain move.
The bootlicking on that post (in a PIRACY sub nonetheless) is wild. Lots of "you don't understand, Reddit is a COMPANY! 😭" I've peeked in on Reddit a bit and I've been seeing those kinds of "won't somebody think of the shaaaareholdersss and adminss" comments on a few posts related to the protest. Things like this insightful little nugget:
"Seems all the reddit hate is based solely on reddit doing something similar to twitter, and I'm supposed to be upset cause "Elon man bad"? Tons of APIs cost money to use... build your own platform that freely allows everyone to scrape all "your" content, lead by example please..."
I wonder how many of those are Reddit employees and bots? They can't all be u/spez alts, can they?
Oh and this is fun too, did you know that we're all LiTeRaLlY extremists over here?
" Lemmy is very far-left. They are literally extremists, I'll not be part of that shit."
Guess Reddit is going to be taken over by alt-right trolls too.
Edit: Still figuring out how the formatting works over here.
Would be fabulous if the only users left on reddit were the alt-right nutters.
Reddit becoming voat is not on my bingo card but stranger things have happened this year...
You wouldn't download a subreddit, would you?
I most definitely did and helped the Data Hoarder archive.
Yep, I found a new home here because of your post, so thank you
I should probably check out mastodon too finally since I've made the plunge into lemmy already.
Then pixelfed and complete the holy trinity :D
