    Incredible to see so many Huffman’s simps in the comments, no wonder why the blackouts weren’t that effective

      It just means most of the people with principles have already moved here, or that reddit is engaging in disgusting levels of astroturfing. The latest Announcement is even worse. Regardless, it’s just ruined.

        Pirates crying and simping for reddit are truly the dumbest thinking piracy dedicated communities have a future on a company trying to artificially inflate their value so they can sell it off to other investors. Probably don’t even use any sort of adblock.

      That’d get the sub banned too quickly. We have to resist, but not make it too obvious. A reasonable person would’ve seen the fallback site and move here, but if we make things too obvious, we’ll not have the sub to act as a redirect to here.

    Let Reddit die, they’ve monetized our content and then spit at our faces, especially at the mods.

    Please create a decentralized harbor to share piracy related content. Dont visit this site again.

      Since the blackout, I’ve only visited Reddit to rip off content for my own Lemmy community, and to vote in this poll lol

    I’m done with Reddit. This latest debacle prompted me to look into Reddit’s history, had no idea before. What an awful company. Also a community not subject to corporate interest is better for everyone. Anyway, I’m not going back there so if the sub gets closed down, no skin off my nose. Yeah do what you will.

      Same here Lemmy has been more than enough for me, a little harder to search but the curated feeds are perfect

    I don’t get the reasoning behind the poll. If the admins don’t allow to shut r/piracy down then just post links to pirated material. It’s closed.

    Wasn’t this sub in danger of being closed a few years ago? So let them.

    I’m still confused why they forcefully reopen a subreddit about PIRACY? 🤔🤔🤔 Shouldn’t they actually be glad that it closed?

          Me neither but im definitely on it a lot less, for example right now im browsing lemmy just checking out stuff whats on here etc. Normally i would be doing the same but on reddit, i still do that but a lot less which means less traffic.

              Better do it soon, I just did mine the other day. I really didn’t want to do it cause it kind of screws over people searching for answers from Google but fuck Reddit

    Yea, I’m gonna stay on Lemmy. It’s not as engaging, but that’s a good thing - less time spent on social media is always better.

    I deleted my accounts and refuse to click Reddit links, so I can‘t vote or even see it, but I hope whatever option is most annoying to the admins wins.

      Options are:

      Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to allow sexy pirate John Oliver posts only at reopening.

      Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to return to normal operations at reopening.

      Scores are hidden, so there’s no way to see which is winning yet. However, every sub that’s done something similar so far has come out John Oliver themed.

        Well Option 2 is a stinker, easy choice for anyone who isn‘t a spez sockpuppet.

        I’m just looking forward to the funny John Oliver edits hitting lemmy and maybe an episode on enshittification of corporate social media.

    Just close the sub and make it full link through to this page. 1 link, explain why you’ve closed and link this Lemmy. Cut your losses & gtfo

    I would prefer lemmy, you are free from all the reddit shenanigans, plus if there’s any problems we could make our own server and still stay here, much more reasonable

    Close it, before they use it up and close it themselves when they want to improve shareholder relations or some nonsense.
