The mods are being removed from many subreddits, including r/piracy. Reddit threw in the towel and decided to stop pretending they were community-moderated.

pretending they were community-moderated.

Unless you remember electing your mods, "community moderated" simply means "we don't pay the jannies, they literally do it for free lol!" It was never about the "community" having a voice.

They removed the mod (our admin) and are reopening it to stamp out the blackout movement. I‘m not going to go there at all, this is going to be a lobotomised version of r/piracy with some reddit employee or a spez loyalist scab at the helm—no thanks!

True, I actually got dinged from automods using this word "kill" in various context for example one I remember well: "The Iranian government is killing people and wondering why they fight back?!" And DING I get whacked by the automod for using a bad word. I mean I don‘t mind moderation, but that was so weird I had to self censor myself like "The Iranian government is acting in ways that end people‘s lives and wondering why they fight back?!" to get my comment posted. What a pain. I get not advocating for violence, but the robots didn‘t check for any of that lol.

Yes, I mean there will be limits and our admins named some but overall it seems way more free.

Likely because it's federated instances and each specialises in something.

Would take an interesting turn of events if people would get the sub in legal trouble, after Reddit itself essentially enforced the opening

Ah, thanks. I found this in the comment chain:

The second mod did it. They did not contact me at all so it seems they’re communicating with the admins

I think it can, it is not only Lemmy, but the whole Fedeverse backing them. But not sure.... we have the other backup though

squaresinger 2 points 3 years ago

Actually, not that difficult. All this does is it uses the Reddit API to download the content and creates an SQL script that restores the data directly into the SQL database of a Lemmy instance. This means, it doesn't actually touch the Lemmy instance at all. You just run the SQL script directly on the database and Lemmy can then access the data from the database as if it had been posted on Lemmy over the last few years.

The only hard limit here is the size of the database. As long as you got enough disk space for the database to handle all that content everything is fine.

actively restoring r/piracy
actively forcing a community dedicated to breaking DCMA by proxy back online
actively trying to get an IPO

that's certainly a choice.

I said this on another post on this topic. I think this is deliberate. Why would a company that is about to have an IPO want to support anticapitalist subs like Piracy and Antiwork? The saying is never let a good crisis go to waste.

Does this mean, based on the email I saw that Reddit was sending out, at least one of the piracy mods turned to the dark side, the email apparently says if one of the moderators would like to work with them to reopen closed subs to contact them. It also mentions that they will protect said mod from retaliation.

This just further supports my conspiracy theory /r/piracy is a honeypot. Seems like they opened this subreddit mighty fast (I know supposedly the same message and threat were sent a automatically to all subreddits of a certain size)
