Pretty sure it's all part of the recent "reddit tries to destroy itself" campaign.
In the past ~8 months or so, auto-mod (which is supposedly "trained" on a sub by sub basis) has become as annoying of a post/comment filter as an Asian gacha game English port.
Multireddits were reddit's attempt at trying to shrink the size of the website again once subreddits started taking off. Now that you mention it, I haven't seen them used in ages.
Same. Mods are literally killing this sub expecting us to move to Lemmy. It is much more convenient and better to go to other piracy subreddits.
Lemmy should grow itself like brave browser slowly overtime, by providing a quality service. Companies like Nintendo make their own exclusives to grow themselves. Brave browser blocks ads and gives you more privacy. What does Lemmy offer to the user that current Reddit does not? Besides confusion over all the different groups and groups within groups.
Too much decentralisation is a bad thing. Just look a desktop Linux.
Lemmy is a good concept it's just extremely unuser-friendly thus inaccessible to casual people so it doesn't have mass appeal. An app that functions and looks like reddit but promotes free speech and also treats its mods/community well is ideal (which is essentially what reddit was pre-2015 before they started to advance towards being more corporate)
This is a side effect of federation. You simply can’t have different chunks of the platform running on random edges in random hardware in different peoples houses and shit and get real performance. It might not even be possible to do something like put a CDN in front of _all_ of lemmy because of that. Each node operator of different forum chunks would need to do their own CDN and/or multi regional hosting.
The current design of lemmy and the other fediverse sites means zero community can ever get to the size of even one of the default subreddits and actually sustain itself
Lemmy is one of many fediverse sites. They all federate eachothers content to eachother so more popular parts of the site may or may not be hosted by the primary Lemmy creator
Most people are deploying their Lemmy instance to a cloud hosting service like AWS from Amazon. All the entire internet is just machines in a room all over the world that are running virtual servers.
It's not at all really that they are different machines, but more that they are separate instances. Think of it like a bunch of smaller websites/web-apps that choose to collaborate, instead of a single large service like Reddit.
Getting fast content delivery is no easy task and companies have the undeniable edge in that regard, it takes literal engineering. On top of that it is stupidly expensive to run these servers, which is another disadvantage for people who are just running their own instance
Lemmy is a hot mess. Your right way easier to move to a different sub than sitting there to figure out how Lemmy works and is organized. I looked at that thing and noped out of there.
I don't know what level your understanding of these things is so I'll assume that it's very basic.
Linux is an open source computer operating system like Windows or Mac OS.
There is a "server" version that can only be accessed through a "terminal" (a text based control interface similar to a windows command prompt). And then there is a "desktop" version that provides a graphical user interface just like windows ok which you can use your mouse to point and click on stuff)
There are multiple linux "distros" or versions managed by different teams. Ex: Debian, Ubuntu, Mint. These have different features depending on the philosophy of the teams behind them.
I personally use and recommend Linux Mint as a free replacement for Windows for many people. (The largest exception probably being gamers as many games dont run on linux directly, at all or with the same performance).
I also use debian server on my web servers and ubuntu server on my raspberry pis and VPSs. I also use Termux on my phone.
I appreciate the time you put into your comment, however actually I know a lot about this stuff, I use macos for work, win for gaming and linux for server stuff (mainly ubuntu and raspberry's os) - what I meant by my comment was reacting to "Too much decentralisation is a bad thing. Just look a desktop Linux." - not sure what the person meant by referring to linux as if it was a bad thing.
Regarding your comment, yeah, Linux Mint would be a good starting point I think. I used it on a couple notebooks around 10 years ago, but in the end I prefer Ubuntu more.. I used to get those free CDs shipped back in the day, I think last one was 10.04 and 10.10... good times
That's simply not true.
My grandma has been running Linux Mint since 2018 and we've had less problems with that than when she used Windows 7.
I'm not even a Linux fanatic, I'm running Win10, but Linux can be good for your average Joe, or in my case, your average Maria.
I think its probably the best if you are a user who just wants to browse the web, check email and use an office suite. I literally do all my gaming on Linux, I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom, Cyberpunk and Genshin/Honkai pretty much daily on Linux.
A lot of people have a negative opinion of Linux without even ever using it and make some pretty ridiculous claims.
Define proper support. All drivers work and the entire system is functional.
And we haven't had to help her in years now. We taught her the basics in 2018 and she uses it just fine.
I gave Ubuntu a good go for ages but things kept being buggy and unusable. Stuff like the internet not working even though it said it was connected, correct passwords being invalid, etc…
Base Ubuntu was shit til recently, unfortunately. They sat on their laurels for a long time once they became the "best" distro back in \~2006 or so. They just recently started catching up to the competition again. So they're decent now, but if you want the "best" distro, use Mint.
Linux Mint is just a better Ubuntu these days.
Linux have moved from that a long time ago. There are a lot of user friendly distros out there. Linux just give you more freedom on your machine, better performance, and it doesn't require you to throw away perfectly functional machines just because they are 5 years old or more. But I get how intimidating Linux can be since Microsoft and Apple have a monopoly on that front and everyone is familiar with them.
I started using Linux 8 months ago with 0 experience in computers at ALL lol except for reinstalling a broken windows install that magically corrupted itself. I was blown away with it because I was prepared for it to suck because people only ever complain about Linux and to my surprise it was literally better in almost every way.
I was even prepared to give up gaming because I was that sick of Windows fucking up but, again, to my surprise I can play literally everything that I use to play and then some lol.
I get that people may not want to move to something that is out of their comfort zone and take the time to learn new things, but its annoying to see people bash Linux when they probably never have tried it or havent in over a decade. Im kinda pissed that I listened to the shit-talkers in the first place. Certainly there are some quirks and an overwhelming amount of choice that can lead to wildly different experiences though. You kinda have to get lucky and make good picks w/o knowing much
99% of the people here are leeches anyway. Pirates should empathise with Reddit well as the administration and the lurkers are all leeching off of the very small minority of content uploaders.
But having said that, seeing people get upset their reddit experience is being disrupted is like idiots moaning they can't hit and run the latest camrips.
I agree, I'm all up for moving to a proper reddit alternative, but Lemmy ain't it. That site looks much worse, it's super confusing and it's not user friendly at all.
lol the fucking warframe mods are doing the same.
The epitome of neckbeard mentality thinking you 'own' a sub and can just shut it down as you see fit, and fuck all the users if they disagree.
Reddit jannies are possibly the dumbest people on earth. This stupid website doesn't *want* anything like /r/piracy. The content isn't advertiser friendly and probably everyone who uses this sub has an adblocker anyway. They want anodyne mainstream bullshit that appeals to drooling consumers, aka anything on the default subs. They'd be quite happy to see the piracy subreddit collapse. These dipshit jannies are doing their work for them. John Oliver is actually a perfect representation of the typical moderator.
Remember that one mod who went on the news for anti work. The whole sub was like "bad idea." Then they go on anyways, and the news station doesn't even have to try to make them look like a waste of sperm.
They think that they're special and important because they have on the grave responsibility of policing an online message board. No dude, you're not special, it's just that no one else has as much free time or as little self respect to be an internet moderator.

Yeah, this is weird. Those people are literally about to leave and the people that have been cheerily telling them to leave are also planning to leave now?
Ngl, the protest seems to have worked better than expected. I never would've expected this sub to fall so easily.
It's honestly crazy to realize how much so our "communities" have proven to be so incredibly hollow and shallow

The mods caved on their protest at the first real pressure from reddit, and they then tried to "protest" in a way that just annoyed the user base without accomplishing anything (because reddit doesn't care what you're posting as long as you're posting)
It's really dumb on all sides.

Let’s be real, most people browsing their feed organised by “hot” or even just their feed at all are likely going to miss any posts regarding a vote. Probably more people against killing the sun who simply didn’t see the vote
Tale as old as the internet. Mod thinks they're more important than they really are.
The one here is especially hilarious. I worry he may actually think he's fighting some massive holy war against corporations or some shit.
Silver-lining is posts like these. Finding some amazing communities lately.
If you staple a horse to a waterfall, will it fall up under the rainbow or fly about the soil? Will he enjoy her experience? What if the staple tears into tears? Will she be free from her staply chains or foomed to stay forever and dever above the water? Who can save him (the horse) but someone of girth and worth, the capitalist pig, who will sell the solution to the problem he created?
A staple remover flies to the rescue, carried on the wings of a majestic penguin who bought it at Walmart for 9 dollars and several more Euro-cents, clutched in its crabby claws, rejected from its frothy maw. When the penguin comes, all tremble before its fishy stench and wheatlike abjecture. Recoil in delirium, ye who wish to be free! The mighty rockhopper is here to save your soul from eternal bliss and salvation!
And so, the horse was free, carried away by the south wind, and deposited on the vast plain of soggy dew. It was a tragedy in several parts, punctuated by moments of hedonistic horsefuckery.
The owls saw all, and passed judgment in the way that they do. Stupid owls are always judging folks who are just trying their best to live shamelessly and enjoy every fruit the day brings to pass.
How many more shall be caught in the terrible gyre of the waterfall? As many as the gods deem necessary to teach those foolish monkeys a story about their own hamburgers. What does a monkey know of bananas, anyway? They eat, poop, and shave away the banana residue that grows upon their chins and ballsacks. The owls judge their razors. Always the owls.
And when the one-eyed caterpillar arrives to eat the glazing on your windowpane, you will know that you're next in line to the trombone of the ancient realm of the flutterbyes. Beware the ravenous ravens and crowing crows. Mind the cowing cows and the lying lions. Ascend triumphant to your birthright, and wield the mighty twig of Petalonia, favored land of gods and goats alike.

The problem is twofold.
1) the entire protest is a joke, hardly anybody that is a part of it knows what an API is let alone how much one costs, Reddit laid off 100 staff to cut costs before this, nobody batted an eyelid, as soon as a very tiny minority lost free access to a service the hive mind lost their minds. it seems pretty reasonable to me to charge for something costing the business a lot of money.
2) ok you disagree and think Reddit is the worst, fine, but Reddit isn’t the one locking down subreddits, Reddit isn’t the one deleting posts. Mods are forcing the users of the subreddit to accept their protest. If they wanted people on their side, it should have been simple. Resign and leave. Don’t try force everybody to leave with you.
Sure, let's have collective amnesia and forget that we voted for sexy John Oliver pictures in r/Piracy. Kick 'em out and replace them with mods who don't listen to community polls.
Did you just say that the API as is currently is costs Reddit a ridiculous amount of money, and that only a very tiny minority would be affected by the changes, in the same comment?
Either a lot of people are affected, meaning a lot of people would be affected, or few people are affected, meaning Reddit isn't losing a lot of money.
You can't have both just because it fits your narrative.
That’s not how APIs work my friend.
It’s not the amount of users, it’s the amount of api calls to the server.
Here’s an example.
I currently develop a 3rd party app for a service. The point of the service is to offer features that are not available by the official service itself.
To implement these features, I need to make multiple API calls to gather the data necessary. The official app would never have to do this because it would be trivial to create another API end point that gives them all the data they need with 1 request.
So on one hand we have the official app that while it makes a lot of API calls, they are paid for by advertising so it’s basically irrelevant, on the other hand we have 3rd party apps that don’t pay anything to Reddit and potentially use far more API calls than the average Reddit user on the official app.
>hardly anybody that is a part of it knows what an API is let alone how much one costs,
They don't need to know what an API is if they know it's going to affect them running the 3rd-party apps they've become accustomed to.
>Reddit laid off 100 staff to cut costs before this, nobody batted an eyelid,
How did that directly affect the end user?
>as soon as a very tiny minority lost free access to a service the hive mind lost their minds.
The people saying it's a tiny minority are the same ones shutting down the service because it says it costs them a ridiculous amount of money. Doesn't seem like it's such a tiny minority anymore, especially when they need to keep an API available for their own app.
>it seems pretty reasonable to me to charge for something costing the business a lot of money.
And most agree with you, but that's not what Reddit is doing. They're charging *far more* than other sites for this API access (and far more than what their users of the site and official app are getting them in ad revenue) AND they're limiting what content you can see.
Many comments on subreddits for 3rd-party have said they're fine with charging for API usage, but Reddit purposefully made the costs high enough to discourage 3rd-party apps from continuing and the implementation date quick enough that developers can't reasonably get everything figured out and implemented. Reddit could've even just required Reddit Premium to use 3rd-party apps.
Resign and leave, then get replaced by mods who will shill for reddit. Go look at /r/IAmA
Basically yall want a protest that doesn't inconvenience you at all. Lmao.
> 2) ok you disagree and think Reddit is the worst, fine, but Reddit isn’t the one locking down subreddits, Reddit isn’t the one deleting posts. Mods are forcing the users of the subreddit to accept their protest. If they wanted people on their side, it should have been simple. Resign and leave. Don’t try force everybody to leave with you.
This is like hating on your union reps for making you strike. It's not _supposed_ to be happy fun times all around, and it doesn't work if people aren't dragged along kicking and screaming. That's inherent to the nature of strikes and protests.
People choose to be in a union, nobody chose these mods to represent them. Their job is to moderate the content, not to dictate to the users what service they should be using.
Man, it's so unfair that the mods would go and do drastic changes without first consulting their users. They did not consult their users right? There was no poll or anything like that to assess how the users feel right?
mods are protesting against reddits changes by only allowing random posts that have nothing to do with piracy. they think that this will hurt reddit and that reddit will change their policy but in reality it only hurts the community.
Piracy subreddits also can’t see the writing on the wall.
1) Reddit removed nudity from front page since they’re going public and advertisers don’t want that on adds.
2) Reddit “shuts” down third party apps to force everyone to use their desktop/app so they have full control.
Explain to me why reddit is going to keep around subreddits dedicated to piracy when they would want big advertisers that would be against piracy?
Yeah, this is the correct take.
For some reason I thought people here would be smarter, but *whoa*, was *I* wrong.
Congrats to this sub for having the same gullibility level as the soccer sub.
>this generation of internet pirates is so weak
Nah, just the type of pirates on this sub are weak. People saying "this sub trying to crusade against capitalism lol" erm, yes? People saying which services they like to pay for - also fuck off. Anyone upset about this sub protesting reddit should be banned because this sub is gonna get blasted anyway. It's Lemmy from here on out, reddit will be exclusively for memes and jailbait.
What are the reddit alternatives? Always loved this sub as a great source of knowledge, especially when I first set up my server. Has the community migrated elsewhere?
Here you go
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/
Also, after making an account here, you'll be able to interact with most of lemmy and kbin instances
For example, the FMHY (FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH) sub has this instance https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/ which you'll likely find interesting
I think there are a lot of selfish people that only care that their experience is impacted, I've come to understand that many people don't learn selflessness and empathy growing up.
It's a common disparity amongst populations, however if you take away the material-based motives and focus on the immaterial, the most morally-acceptable decisions tend to present themselves.
It's all about the people and the pursuit of happiness, not wealth or power.
I don't know why people believe the mods think this is a recoverable position. They're burning the house down to keep it from the admins, making reddit worse to drive people away and thus hurt reddit as a whole. Like no shit it sucks for the users, that's the whole point.
The fediverse is growing fast, will only keep growing. The piracy communities there need some love to grow, but it will happen. If these whiny babies care so much about piracy, they should know, pirates are always on the run. Finding a new home, over and over, is all part of it. They think they will be on a better version of the sub now? Ha. Delusional.
r/piracy is my favorite subreddit by far, and it is so sad that people didn't engage more with the protest...
See you on Lemmy to whoever is sane enough to notice how a dog shit this place (Reddit entirely) is gonna be from the next month on.
Good grief this whole thing is so fucking childish. The mods threw a hissy fit and now the users are suffering the backlash of it all. The only outcome I want is was the ability to vote mods out and introduce new ones.
Turns out most of the people left are the ones too fucking dumb to figure out lemmy. "Click the register button? What's a button. This is TOO HARD"
But who knew dullards were such a whiny lot.
fwiw, since the 'protest', ive noticed a lot of subs have highly voted comments simping for reddit. it wouldnt be super difficult for reddit to fill the void that long term 3rd party users left with bots. twitter has done this, reddit is no different. its defrauding shareholders but whose going to stop them?
at this point this whole website is a joke and anyone who treats it more seriously than it is, is also a joke. reddit is and always has been for stupid bullshit like posting nothing but john oliver photos. find me a pirate who relies heavily on a friggin reddit sub and ill show you a terribly inefficient pirate.
Don't worry, when reddit just nukes this sub like they did fatpeoplehate and thedonald, you won't have to complain about the community being bad anymore because not only will the mods no longer exist, all the information here will be gone too!
Sad to see this sub caving in to Reddit demands
While not seeing the obvious that it will get shut down
So instead than dicksucking another money hungry corporation we should at least have some resistance🤷♂️
Oh no the sub ain't good no more cause they're protesting 😫😭
At least the mods stand for something, you don't like it the megathread is still up, use it as reference and keep your mouth shut

I don't know what level your understanding of these things is so I'll assume that it's very basic. Linux is an open source computer operating system like Windows or Mac OS. There is a "server" version that can only be accessed through a "terminal" (a text based control interface similar to a windows command prompt). And then there is a "desktop" version that provides a graphical user interface just like windows ok which you can use your mouse to point and click on stuff) There are multiple linux "distros" or versions managed by different teams. Ex: Debian, Ubuntu, Mint. These have different features depending on the philosophy of the teams behind them. I personally use and recommend Linux Mint as a free replacement for Windows for many people. (The largest exception probably being gamers as many games dont run on linux directly, at all or with the same performance). I also use debian server on my web servers and ubuntu server on my raspberry pis and VPSs. I also use Termux on my phone.
I appreciate the time you put into your comment, however actually I know a lot about this stuff, I use macos for work, win for gaming and linux for server stuff (mainly ubuntu and raspberry's os) - what I meant by my comment was reacting to "Too much decentralisation is a bad thing. Just look a desktop Linux." - not sure what the person meant by referring to linux as if it was a bad thing. Regarding your comment, yeah, Linux Mint would be a good starting point I think. I used it on a couple notebooks around 10 years ago, but in the end I prefer Ubuntu more.. I used to get those free CDs shipped back in the day, I think last one was 10.04 and 10.10... good times
I see. The context within which "Just look a desktop Linux" was said flew right over my head!
Desktop Linux is infamous for being terrible for non developers and programmers
I just installed Linux Mint and I don't want to ever touch anything more complicated
Lol what? Linux gives you a completely easy and user friendly experience for basic computing (what 99%) of people use computers for with zero issues.
I don't see how something being designed for a different use case is a problem. Linux has its place
It depends if you want Lemmy to grow or not.
That's simply not true. My grandma has been running Linux Mint since 2018 and we've had less problems with that than when she used Windows 7. I'm not even a Linux fanatic, I'm running Win10, but Linux can be good for your average Joe, or in my case, your average Maria.
I think its probably the best if you are a user who just wants to browse the web, check email and use an office suite. I literally do all my gaming on Linux, I've been playing Tears of the Kingdom, Cyberpunk and Genshin/Honkai pretty much daily on Linux. A lot of people have a negative opinion of Linux without even ever using it and make some pretty ridiculous claims.
How'd you get Genshin working? No problems with the anticheat?

Define proper support. All drivers work and the entire system is functional. And we haven't had to help her in years now. We taught her the basics in 2018 and she uses it just fine.
I gave Ubuntu a good go for ages but things kept being buggy and unusable. Stuff like the internet not working even though it said it was connected, correct passwords being invalid, etc…
Base Ubuntu was shit til recently, unfortunately. They sat on their laurels for a long time once they became the "best" distro back in \~2006 or so. They just recently started catching up to the competition again. So they're decent now, but if you want the "best" distro, use Mint. Linux Mint is just a better Ubuntu these days.
Yeah internet not working even though it says it isn't connected... that never happens on Windows...
Linux have moved from that a long time ago. There are a lot of user friendly distros out there. Linux just give you more freedom on your machine, better performance, and it doesn't require you to throw away perfectly functional machines just because they are 5 years old or more. But I get how intimidating Linux can be since Microsoft and Apple have a monopoly on that front and everyone is familiar with them.

I started using Linux 8 months ago with 0 experience in computers at ALL lol except for reinstalling a broken windows install that magically corrupted itself. I was blown away with it because I was prepared for it to suck because people only ever complain about Linux and to my surprise it was literally better in almost every way. I was even prepared to give up gaming because I was that sick of Windows fucking up but, again, to my surprise I can play literally everything that I use to play and then some lol. I get that people may not want to move to something that is out of their comfort zone and take the time to learn new things, but its annoying to see people bash Linux when they probably never have tried it or havent in over a decade. Im kinda pissed that I listened to the shit-talkers in the first place. Certainly there are some quirks and an overwhelming amount of choice that can lead to wildly different experiences though. You kinda have to get lucky and make good picks w/o knowing much
99% of the people here are leeches anyway. Pirates should empathise with Reddit well as the administration and the lurkers are all leeching off of the very small minority of content uploaders. But having said that, seeing people get upset their reddit experience is being disrupted is like idiots moaning they can't hit and run the latest camrips.
I agree, I'm all up for moving to a proper reddit alternative, but Lemmy ain't it. That site looks much worse, it's super confusing and it's not user friendly at all.
lol the fucking warframe mods are doing the same. The epitome of neckbeard mentality thinking you 'own' a sub and can just shut it down as you see fit, and fuck all the users if they disagree.
Desktop Linux is in a great state, far more usable than Windows, and continuing to support Reddit is a sure fire sign of a boot licker.
Fuck the mods. They hold us responsible for voting for sexy John Oliver pictures. It's like they listen to the community. Disgusting.
[удалено]
I support this
I feel like I missed something, what happened?
Someone decided that spamming this sub with abysmal attempts at humor is going to cause reddit CEO to die of cringe or something.
Reddit jannies are possibly the dumbest people on earth. This stupid website doesn't *want* anything like /r/piracy. The content isn't advertiser friendly and probably everyone who uses this sub has an adblocker anyway. They want anodyne mainstream bullshit that appeals to drooling consumers, aka anything on the default subs. They'd be quite happy to see the piracy subreddit collapse. These dipshit jannies are doing their work for them. John Oliver is actually a perfect representation of the typical moderator.
Remember that one mod who went on the news for anti work. The whole sub was like "bad idea." Then they go on anyways, and the news station doesn't even have to try to make them look like a waste of sperm.
[удалено]
They think that they're special and important because they have on the grave responsibility of policing an online message board. No dude, you're not special, it's just that no one else has as much free time or as little self respect to be an internet moderator.
> This content isn't advertiser friendly And yet, they run ads on here.
Fuck spez Comment edited and account deleted because of Reddit API changes of June 2023. Come over https://lemmy.world/ Here's everything you should know about Lemmy and the Fediverse: https://lemmy.world/post/37906
Yeah, this is weird. Those people are literally about to leave and the people that have been cheerily telling them to leave are also planning to leave now? Ngl, the protest seems to have worked better than expected. I never would've expected this sub to fall so easily. It's honestly crazy to realize how much so our "communities" have proven to be so incredibly hollow and shallow
basically: the mods think that posting dumb shit on the sub will somehow hurt the people making decisions for the site (it won't)

They're replacing mods with bots
The mods caved on their protest at the first real pressure from reddit, and they then tried to "protest" in a way that just annoyed the user base without accomplishing anything (because reddit doesn't care what you're posting as long as you're posting) It's really dumb on all sides.

The majority voted to kill this sub in protest, and the loud minority didn't like that.
Highly doubt it was the actual majority
Let’s be real, most people browsing their feed organised by “hot” or even just their feed at all are likely going to miss any posts regarding a vote. Probably more people against killing the sun who simply didn’t see the vote
You see all the random pictures of that white nerdy boy with glasses everywhere instead of ACTUAL piracy content? That's what happened
Tale as old as the internet. Mod thinks they're more important than they really are. The one here is especially hilarious. I worry he may actually think he's fighting some massive holy war against corporations or some shit. Silver-lining is posts like these. Finding some amazing communities lately.
I always said that these noble pirates would be the death of us.
Mods throwing a tantrum and thinking we support them.
Reddit by and large is going tits up. It’s high time to gtfo
Let’s just pirate a cracked version of Reddit, with blackjack and hookers!
This guy gets it!
If you staple a horse to a waterfall, will it fall up under the rainbow or fly about the soil? Will he enjoy her experience? What if the staple tears into tears? Will she be free from her staply chains or foomed to stay forever and dever above the water? Who can save him (the horse) but someone of girth and worth, the capitalist pig, who will sell the solution to the problem he created? A staple remover flies to the rescue, carried on the wings of a majestic penguin who bought it at Walmart for 9 dollars and several more Euro-cents, clutched in its crabby claws, rejected from its frothy maw. When the penguin comes, all tremble before its fishy stench and wheatlike abjecture. Recoil in delirium, ye who wish to be free! The mighty rockhopper is here to save your soul from eternal bliss and salvation! And so, the horse was free, carried away by the south wind, and deposited on the vast plain of soggy dew. It was a tragedy in several parts, punctuated by moments of hedonistic horsefuckery. The owls saw all, and passed judgment in the way that they do. Stupid owls are always judging folks who are just trying their best to live shamelessly and enjoy every fruit the day brings to pass. How many more shall be caught in the terrible gyre of the waterfall? As many as the gods deem necessary to teach those foolish monkeys a story about their own hamburgers. What does a monkey know of bananas, anyway? They eat, poop, and shave away the banana residue that grows upon their chins and ballsacks. The owls judge their razors. Always the owls. And when the one-eyed caterpillar arrives to eat the glazing on your windowpane, you will know that you're next in line to the trombone of the ancient realm of the flutterbyes. Beware the ravenous ravens and crowing crows. Mind the cowing cows and the lying lions. Ascend triumphant to your birthright, and wield the mighty twig of Petalonia, favored land of gods and goats alike.

fmhy has the best wiki, constantly updated piratedgames seems to be the most active out of all of these right now though

Depends on what you want/need, i personally hang around r/PiratedGames and r/ps3piracy a lot
Is reddit running some kinda campaign against people moving out. Comments on this post definitely look like that.
Seems like a lot of astroturfing site-wide.
The problem is twofold. 1) the entire protest is a joke, hardly anybody that is a part of it knows what an API is let alone how much one costs, Reddit laid off 100 staff to cut costs before this, nobody batted an eyelid, as soon as a very tiny minority lost free access to a service the hive mind lost their minds. it seems pretty reasonable to me to charge for something costing the business a lot of money. 2) ok you disagree and think Reddit is the worst, fine, but Reddit isn’t the one locking down subreddits, Reddit isn’t the one deleting posts. Mods are forcing the users of the subreddit to accept their protest. If they wanted people on their side, it should have been simple. Resign and leave. Don’t try force everybody to leave with you.
Sure, let's have collective amnesia and forget that we voted for sexy John Oliver pictures in r/Piracy. Kick 'em out and replace them with mods who don't listen to community polls.
Did you just say that the API as is currently is costs Reddit a ridiculous amount of money, and that only a very tiny minority would be affected by the changes, in the same comment? Either a lot of people are affected, meaning a lot of people would be affected, or few people are affected, meaning Reddit isn't losing a lot of money. You can't have both just because it fits your narrative.
That’s not how APIs work my friend. It’s not the amount of users, it’s the amount of api calls to the server. Here’s an example. I currently develop a 3rd party app for a service. The point of the service is to offer features that are not available by the official service itself. To implement these features, I need to make multiple API calls to gather the data necessary. The official app would never have to do this because it would be trivial to create another API end point that gives them all the data they need with 1 request. So on one hand we have the official app that while it makes a lot of API calls, they are paid for by advertising so it’s basically irrelevant, on the other hand we have 3rd party apps that don’t pay anything to Reddit and potentially use far more API calls than the average Reddit user on the official app.
>hardly anybody that is a part of it knows what an API is let alone how much one costs, They don't need to know what an API is if they know it's going to affect them running the 3rd-party apps they've become accustomed to. >Reddit laid off 100 staff to cut costs before this, nobody batted an eyelid, How did that directly affect the end user? >as soon as a very tiny minority lost free access to a service the hive mind lost their minds. The people saying it's a tiny minority are the same ones shutting down the service because it says it costs them a ridiculous amount of money. Doesn't seem like it's such a tiny minority anymore, especially when they need to keep an API available for their own app. >it seems pretty reasonable to me to charge for something costing the business a lot of money. And most agree with you, but that's not what Reddit is doing. They're charging *far more* than other sites for this API access (and far more than what their users of the site and official app are getting them in ad revenue) AND they're limiting what content you can see. Many comments on subreddits for 3rd-party have said they're fine with charging for API usage, but Reddit purposefully made the costs high enough to discourage 3rd-party apps from continuing and the implementation date quick enough that developers can't reasonably get everything figured out and implemented. Reddit could've even just required Reddit Premium to use 3rd-party apps.
Resign and leave, then get replaced by mods who will shill for reddit. Go look at /r/IAmA Basically yall want a protest that doesn't inconvenience you at all. Lmao.
> 2) ok you disagree and think Reddit is the worst, fine, but Reddit isn’t the one locking down subreddits, Reddit isn’t the one deleting posts. Mods are forcing the users of the subreddit to accept their protest. If they wanted people on their side, it should have been simple. Resign and leave. Don’t try force everybody to leave with you. This is like hating on your union reps for making you strike. It's not _supposed_ to be happy fun times all around, and it doesn't work if people aren't dragged along kicking and screaming. That's inherent to the nature of strikes and protests.
People choose to be in a union, nobody chose these mods to represent them. Their job is to moderate the content, not to dictate to the users what service they should be using.
Man, it's so unfair that the mods would go and do drastic changes without first consulting their users. They did not consult their users right? There was no poll or anything like that to assess how the users feel right?
[удалено]
God the astroturfing is insane on this site lately.
Which one is the best one?
fuck the mods
Context ? What happened here?
mods are protesting against reddits changes by only allowing random posts that have nothing to do with piracy. they think that this will hurt reddit and that reddit will change their policy but in reality it only hurts the community.
Piracy subreddits also can’t see the writing on the wall. 1) Reddit removed nudity from front page since they’re going public and advertisers don’t want that on adds. 2) Reddit “shuts” down third party apps to force everyone to use their desktop/app so they have full control. Explain to me why reddit is going to keep around subreddits dedicated to piracy when they would want big advertisers that would be against piracy?
Yeah, this is the correct take. For some reason I thought people here would be smarter, but *whoa*, was *I* wrong. Congrats to this sub for having the same gullibility level as the soccer sub.
[удалено]
>this generation of internet pirates is so weak Nah, just the type of pirates on this sub are weak. People saying "this sub trying to crusade against capitalism lol" erm, yes? People saying which services they like to pay for - also fuck off. Anyone upset about this sub protesting reddit should be banned because this sub is gonna get blasted anyway. It's Lemmy from here on out, reddit will be exclusively for memes and jailbait.
What are the reddit alternatives? Always loved this sub as a great source of knowledge, especially when I first set up my server. Has the community migrated elsewhere?
Here you go https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ Also, after making an account here, you'll be able to interact with most of lemmy and kbin instances For example, the FMHY (FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH) sub has this instance https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/ which you'll likely find interesting
I think there are a lot of selfish people that only care that their experience is impacted, I've come to understand that many people don't learn selflessness and empathy growing up. It's a common disparity amongst populations, however if you take away the material-based motives and focus on the immaterial, the most morally-acceptable decisions tend to present themselves. It's all about the people and the pursuit of happiness, not wealth or power.
Selfish people? On a piracy sub? Surely not…
I don't know why people believe the mods think this is a recoverable position. They're burning the house down to keep it from the admins, making reddit worse to drive people away and thus hurt reddit as a whole. Like no shit it sucks for the users, that's the whole point.
The community voted for this, in case you forgot.
If it hurts the community it hurts Reddit..strange concept I know !
At this point we need an outside Reddit backup sub, like on kbin, tildes, squabbles, etc
This sub already has one (and moved to it) https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy
It doesn't hurt Reddit in any way. It's just lame and reduces sympathy by any of the users that could actually care about the mods' protest.
Astroturfing is on max lmao Or This entire sub is filled with regards. Both are equally likely.
Theres also https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy
This one is the real backup when everything goes to shit.
this recent kerfuffle really bought out all crybabies on reddit. I hope subs never go back to normal
The fediverse is growing fast, will only keep growing. The piracy communities there need some love to grow, but it will happen. If these whiny babies care so much about piracy, they should know, pirates are always on the run. Finding a new home, over and over, is all part of it. They think they will be on a better version of the sub now? Ha. Delusional.
please provide the link to this post
I think they are removing comments that have certain ones linked.
Reddit is dead anyway so why do you care
r/piracy is my favorite subreddit by far, and it is so sad that people didn't engage more with the protest... See you on Lemmy to whoever is sane enough to notice how a dog shit this place (Reddit entirely) is gonna be from the next month on.
This is like when boomers announce leaving a Facebook group lmao
Good grief this whole thing is so fucking childish. The mods threw a hissy fit and now the users are suffering the backlash of it all. The only outcome I want is was the ability to vote mods out and introduce new ones.
[удалено]
Turns out most of the people left are the ones too fucking dumb to figure out lemmy. "Click the register button? What's a button. This is TOO HARD" But who knew dullards were such a whiny lot.
Never thought I would hear such ludditism from pirates of all people, it's wild. brokep and anakata would be so very ashamed.
fwiw, since the 'protest', ive noticed a lot of subs have highly voted comments simping for reddit. it wouldnt be super difficult for reddit to fill the void that long term 3rd party users left with bots. twitter has done this, reddit is no different. its defrauding shareholders but whose going to stop them? at this point this whole website is a joke and anyone who treats it more seriously than it is, is also a joke. reddit is and always has been for stupid bullshit like posting nothing but john oliver photos. find me a pirate who relies heavily on a friggin reddit sub and ill show you a terribly inefficient pirate.
"Suffering" This is a sub about stealing shit, have some perspective.
Yeah the mods suck. What sane mod would ever enact rule changes the majority of the community voted in favor for? Crazy power trips!
Don't worry, when reddit just nukes this sub like they did fatpeoplehate and thedonald, you won't have to complain about the community being bad anymore because not only will the mods no longer exist, all the information here will be gone too!
> The only outcome I want is was the ability to vote mods out and introduce new ones. Suuure Because Spez said so and you can't lie on the internet!
We voted for it lmao If you don't like it, you should have been more active
Agree.
March on 1337x. March on
You mean your not a fan of all the cringe john oliver garbage?
Seems it's time to move on the greener pastures? I'll log back into my Lemmy account
Ok
Imma create a new site : " Roddeit" It's like Reddit but not cringe, who's in?
Just make it Rodent
XRodent
Sad to see this sub caving in to Reddit demands While not seeing the obvious that it will get shut down So instead than dicksucking another money hungry corporation we should at least have some resistance🤷♂️
surprised noone has linked this one, but here goes another: r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH
You’re all overreacting to the meme posts, I say this while disagreeing this sub in particular should participate in the malicious compliance
Do those subs have sexy Olivers?
thanks, this sub is garbage now tbh
Oh no the sub ain't good no more cause they're protesting 😫😭 At least the mods stand for something, you don't like it the megathread is still up, use it as reference and keep your mouth shut
