r/Piracy: β A community devoted to in-depth debate on topics concerning digital piracy, ethical problems, and legal advancements. π£ππ₯πππ¬ ππ¦ β¦
And with reddit about to go public, it might be needed.
Instead of trying to spin up my own lemmy instance, I was thinking if I could get a mod position in this forum and specify it as the official /r/piracy fallback instead.
Bans me and other valid members for no reason, had no guts to sort this out via DM and decided to ignore me + others.. now comes years later into Lemmy and begs to do the same here or what.. are you serious....
Dude you guys, ALL of you piracy mods on Reddit s+ck a+s, you do miserable job, do not give any f+++s about piracy nor the community itself. The only thing you guys care is to take control, nothing more.
Most people are here because you banned them or shadow blocked them. Get the F out here man.
Are you sure there are many such other people? We would need more than 1-2 anon testimonies to atleast know if this is a trend. OP mod and community have been pretty cooperative with The Eye, and that looks to me like a decent sign.
Reddit's piracy Subreddit is known to ban everyone who - according to mods - causes slight troubles, the internet is full of it. I can get 50 people in here, that contacted me on Reddit, they also got banned for no reason or no good reason at all, and the Mods never respond to mod mails.
Last I checked, The Eye is dead because of lack of funding.
If I am going to redirect all the sizable community of reddit /r/piracy to a safe haven, I feel I have a responsibility to make sure that the destination is well run. The only way I can do that is to be a mod.
Supposing that somehow "well run" means anything that anyone else agrees with, aren't you sort of the poster child of "not well run"? During your tenure at reddit, for instance, r/piracy became almost entirely useless. Years of prime advice was nuked when you erased everything but the last 6 months of history. Rules, and also secret rules, were enacted that make it impossible to discuss anything important. Contributors were banned form the subreddit having already demonstrated their worth.
As it is now, if the MPAA and RIAA teamed up with the Spanish priests who burned the Mayan codices to run a piracy internet forum, they still wouldn't do as shitty a job as r/piracy does. If you had any sort of integrity at all, wouldn't you have shut down the forum years ago?
