Hey y’all, In the past I had arranged that /f/piracy in raddle.me would be the fallback forum for /r/piracy, but I recently noticed that raddle.me has disabled new user registrations and that would be a problem in case we need it.
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.
Feel free to PM me in reddit for verification.
Why do you feel the need to be mod?🤔
You can just be a user just like everyone else.
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?

You realize the alternative was to lose the subreddit to the reddit admins, yes?
So you destroyed the village in order to save it? You did lose the subreddit anyway. Nothing could ever be discussed. Everyone self-censored even if you didn’t force the issue on them.
The admins did it. But instead of them doing it despite your efforts, you cooperated. Hell, even that might be forgivable if afterward you’d realized the mistake you made and owned up to it. Instead, you’re here defending it.
What great lessons have you learned, that the same or similar wouldn’t be repeated here? I mean, another person might have spent years struggling with and straining their brain to figure out how to make a forum that assholes like the reddit admins can’t nuke. No, your best is apparently waiting for someone else to come up with a possible solution, and then just migrating over to it until the copyright trolls catch up and start lobbing legal thermonukes in this direction. Then I guess you’ll cooperate again, and wait for yet another forum to be created somewhere else, only to repeat the pattern.
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.

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.

He does not belong into piracy at all nor on Lemmy. Same like any of the other faceless Piracy clowns. No backbone, now they trying to influence and take control over this sub because they know that their own sub is going down due to Reddit changes.
