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.

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!"

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

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

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

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

Lol, gtfo. Fuck that place anyway.

[–] eric3a@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Our new ship is strong!

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 (11 children)

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

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?

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

lol imagine being so desperate for the protest to come to an end that you are even targeting a community that engages in legally questionable activity.

I'm sure the process of determining what mods to DM was automated, but even so, it's still pretty funny to me.

[–] Sal@mander.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

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

Reddit is done

[–] promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

I reinvited you in case you care.

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

cheers. Rejoined

[–] peroleu@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reddit proverbially taking their ball and going home lmao

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

A Mod on the F1 sub was saying that Reddit Admins are threatening any subs that are closed by saying that any mods who are opposed to re-opening subs will be demoted with them being replaced with mods who are willing to co-operate.

Fuck those Reddit punks, people can make a better piracy community in the fediverse.

Hello how did you change the font on your username?

[–] MrComradeTaco@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have used a Twitter(it work for any platform anyway) font editor you can search it at Google or whatever search engine you use.

[–] negative12dollarbill@techhub.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@MrComradeTaco @collegefurtrader
Not to be that guy, but I think accessibility advocates would rather you didn't do that, because it causes issues for screen readers for the visually handicapped.

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 (1 children)

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

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

Not sure mate. I've had a target on my back for the last couple of years I believe. I had a bunch of accounts at one stage for different purposes. I used to post a lot of long-form content: reviews, how-to tech guides etc etc and as a self preservation technique I kept each niche to a seperate account.

Over the last 2 years I had one 11 year old account, one 8 year old account and another few fresher ones perma-banned with no reason given, or just the flimsiest excuse under the sun. I must have really pissed off one of the mods/ admins - they can track you by IP and browser info etc.

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Given the size of Reddit, admins don't check when mods abuse users, I had my 10 yr account with 150K nearly permabanned because of a mod banning me from my own countries sub for posting a non offensive meme on the wrong day.

I wasn't logged in on a computer, was using Reddit which showed me my local subs by default and the saved login credentials was a different alt.

I was typing a comment reply, realised I wasn't logged and signed in with the other alt, didn't realise it wasn't another local sub and I got suspended Reddit wide for "ban evasion" and nearly lost a decade old major account because a mod in my countries sub abused their position.

I never retaliated, wasn't rude, didn't genuinely try to evade the ban and nearly lost a decade of activity.

There are a lot of benefits to the fediverse and I plan on hosting my own personal instance soon.

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.

[–] airportline@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Why not just start allowing direct links to pirated content on the subreddit?
