Remaining mods should go the r/pics route and only allow sea piracy content or something lol
Nothing but magnet links to sea shanty albums.
Actually viable with an author approved CC licensed music.
I agree, either nuke everything or just do what they're doing.
The mods should just nuke everything related to old /r/Piracy on the basis that software piracy is forbidden by Reddit TOS or something like that and fill it with history of sea piracy and modern sea piracy. That would be trolling of epic proportions.
That would be even better, considering the amount of info there is and traffic it generates. Haven't looked into whether or not Reddit admins could restore the nuked content, though; if they could, it's unlikely they'd allow such a big sub to stay nuked...
They definitely could, just look at how much previously deleted content is being restored randomly.
If they restore nuked content, concerned citizens should use archive.org history to prove that reddit, as a company, willingly re-created links to copyrighted content and get the riaa etc to sue reddit?
If I could meme, I'd definitely be doing one of Ragnarok, reddit facing down the mods: you can't beat me! I know, but he can!
Honestly its for the best that we move here anyways. Way fewer restrictions over here.
Honestly, regarding the fewer restrictions thing, why do we still have rules against not sharing links? What's gonna stop the community since it's more free from authority?
I'd imagine, if the server the instance is located is in a place like the US, you'd be at risk of being taken down. But I'm just totally guessing.
Plus if the government got overzealous direct links could be trouble for any US based moderators despite where the sever is located.
Id imagine helping maintain and run an online forum that actively shares links directly to illegitimately obtained movies/games/etc. is against the rules somehow.
Think of it as an extra safety measure. You never know, better safe than sorry.
I pinged the ip and looked it up. It seems to be located in Germany. Hmm... 🤔 Not sure if they're strict or lenient on piracy
They are probably one of the most strict.
Welcome aboard to everyone who doesn't like to be treated like garbage on their digital vessel of choice!
Reddit is dead. Good riddance. They are a bunch of skids.
Start posting magnet links to Nintendo Switch ROMs on r/piracy, and write "endorsed by Reddit, Inc" with a screenshot of the messages from Reddit encouraging the reopening.
Nintendo strat is proven to be the most efficient way of speedrunning a cease and desist letter
With that you'd fuck over the sharing sites as well and I don't think we want that
