If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…
so this is the official lemmy community for those who left r/Piracy?
It’s linked from /r/piracy, ain’t it? 😉
wouldn’t know, haven’t opened reddit in days now because u/Spez can go fuck himself
Just to be clear, are you referring to the Spez that used to moderate /r/jailbait ?
Yes, yes it is.
here here!
Respect! Let reddit die. It’s time.
I am ready to leave reddit. Fuck you u/Spez
Remember Lemmy’s growth starts with you, post your favourite things, talk about your favourite things.
/r/Piracy and /r/FMHY were one of my favorite communities of Reddit, I’m so glad they are here in Lemmy!
I was so sure it was just a matter of time before reddit nuked the subs anyways, glad we have somewhere else to meet
Hello everyone! This is my first Lemmy post. :)
I 100% support a permanent shutdown of r/Piracy, but at the same time, I think it would be very useful if the contents of r/Piracy were made available elsewhere for archival purposes. Could the sub be temporarily reopened in read-only mode to allow for it to be scraped? Or is it already available somewhere?
I might consider doing that on the 30th
Yes, only for the purposes of archival and so people who aren’t aware of /r/piracy being reborn like a phoenix on lemmy can find us. But, never unrestricted.
We’ll probably need more than one day if the archive includes all of the threads (which also include a lot of good information) and not just the wiki. There is this Reddit importer that can take post and comment data scraped from the Reddit API and import it into Lemmy, but because of the volume of data, it will take a while before the scraping is complete by July 1st.
I’m not going to re-import /r/piracy into lemmy. I am probably going to put /r/piracy into restricted mode eventually
I’m here for this, and appreciate the r sub making a stand.
I do hope the wiki can be set up here. I’m an old woman and I need a lot of support whilst sailing the high seas.
we can all chip in and help!
That’s the spirit buccaneer. There’s always endless loot to go around and spirit to go with it.
Just subscribed here and want to say I completely support you doing an indefinite blackout.
Agreed. We’re here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.
I support an indefinite blackout. Pirates are tech-savvy enough to make the Fediverse into a proper new home for themselves. Edit: pressed enter too soon.
Yes, piracy forced me to keep adapting to new stuff whether I wanted to or not. We are made for this.
The question is: Will lemmy be sufficient to replace reddit? I hope it is, I have no issue leaving Reddit.
I feel like it’s going to take a while, but as niche subs migrate, hopefully we’ll see more content. That’s the biggest thing we’re really lacking is user content.
Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate’s life for me!
I always liked this one from Peter Pan:
Ohhhh! A pirate’s life is a wonderful life
A-rovin’ over the sea
Give me a career as a buccaneer
As the life of a pirate for me
Ohhhh! The life of a pirate for me
Ohhhh! A pirate’s life is a wonderful life
They never bury your bones
For when it’s all over, a jolly sea rover
Drops in on his friend Davy Jones
Ohhhh! His very good friend Davy Jones
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
You’ll find adventure and sport
But live every minute for all that is in it
The life of a pirate is short
Ohh, the life of a pirate is short
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
Without a care to behold
You carry a gun and a jug of rum
And your pockets are loaded with gold
Oh! Your pockets are loaded with gold
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
“But not forever,” they say
When your neck’s in a noose and you can’t get loose
For the life of a pirate you’ll pay
Ohh, the life of a pirate you’ll pay
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
Without a care to behold
You dig for pleasure to find some treasure
Your pockets are loaded with gold
Oh! Your pockets are loaded with gold
Lol nice.
I hate to say this but reddit probably doesn’t care if r/piracy stays dark. We were probably one of the subs they were hoping to get rid of.
With that said i support the movement. The biggest loss is the institutional knowledge since we can’t just search for an old post
Is there a mirror of the sub? It’d be great if we could mirror the content here.
It’s why this blackout has been a blessing, since piracy days on reddit were numbered anyways. I’m glad we got to get our community elsewhere before being randomly banned before there was an opportunity to regroup.
Have had many lost communites like megaupload back in the day that reddit killed off. With how helpful the piracy community has been with stuff like the wiki Reddit would have set their eyes on us anyways in the long run.
Sounds good to me. The people participating in piracy are the type to quickly adapt to changing technology. Let’s embrace this opportunity.
Glad to see that /r/piracy has some fucking balls. 48 hours won’t do a damn thing. It makes me sad because I love Reddit. Always have, but this shriveled up dickbag, Spez, royally fucking over 3rd party devs by pricing out their apps and even removing the ability to have NSFW content be viewable on their apps is a royal slap in the face in the highest degree.
I understand that as a business you need to turn a profit (I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Capitalist), but completely pricing 3rd party devs out of the market and making mods (who are all VOLUNTEERS btw) use the bullshit, clunky ass first party modding tools aint it. I heard rumor that they would allow 3rd party modding tools and bots via LTT, but I trust nothing.
Reddit is nothing without the community. It was just a place to gather, to congregate and have a discussion.
That can move elsewhere. and reddit can be left to rot.
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
The only reason to go to reddit now is to see where people are migrating to.
#digg3.0
Reddit will always be home, but when home becomes tainted by the stink of poison, it’s time to leave.
We will sail the ship to the next big community. I hope we have found a home here 🏴☠️
Home is where the heart is and for now, my heart is with lemmy! 🏴☠️
lemmy is the new meta! 😁 is there an app for both ios and android?
Sync for Reddit is thinking of working on Lemmy support. If the big apps move to Lemmy, it could push a lot of traffic to it and keep the exodus going. Encourage it on syncs GitHub and discord server.
mlem for iOS, Jerboa for Android
is mlem still on testflight? its full and unable to participate 😅
