A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

Glad I made it over here before the ship sank!

Thanks for your sacrifice in the fight

"In analyzing the availability of the immunity offered by Section 230, courts generally apply a three-prong test. A defendant must satisfy each of the three prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:

  1. The defendant must be a "provider or user" of an "interactive computer service".
  2. The cause of action asserted by the plaintiff must treat the defendant as the "publisher or speaker" of the harmful information at issue.

3. The information must be "provided by another information content provider", i.e., the defendant must not be the "information content provider" of the harmful information at issue."

If Reddit the company is now picking and choosing who approves or blocks harmful information, are they an information content provider now? Are they liable if their chosen mods allow harmful content?

Oh captain my captain!

LMAO and these guys wanting to reopen /r/piracy are awaiting IPO. Any investor not seeing the issues at hand here deserve all the misfortune they'll get.

Scabs, the lot of em

[–] yukichigai@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, didn't figure they'd go so blatantly mask off this early on. They must be nervous.

Also dumb. Have they never dealt with pirates before? Cut off one head and two more grow to replace it. Good luck you shmucks.

Whenever you see inserted words, please imagine an awkwardly moving but very colorful parrot squawking it.

The ability to ~~find and~~ make these ~~connections~~ prrrofits is incredibly important to ~~many people~~ ourrr sharrreholders, and ensuring that active communities are able to remain [a] stable and active ~~(and open)~~ source of prrrofits is very important forrr us!

Our goal here is to work ~~with~~ the existing mod team ~~to find a path forward~~ into exile and make sure your subreddit is usable for the ~~community~~ company which makes its ~~home~~ monnney here.

O captain, my captain!

[–] matbag08@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

That's just crazy. I still don't fully know what's going on with reddit but from what I've heard it's just bs but I'm here for support. Happy sailing everyone!

Move all the information here and run power delete suite on you reddit accounts while you still can with links to join-lemmy.org, I think that will hurt them quite a bit.

I think making a subreddit private doesn't work, we need to fully delete them to harm reddit and those redditors who just don't care about the api.

[–] Bloomberg@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a way to archive/clone most posts from r/piracy on here, I think while the api works, that's something we should think about.

Should have the mods left there do the bare minimum of modding to not get busted and low-key send people here or something

Admins would probably eventually do something but I wonder how long something like that might be able to last

[–] midnight@lemmy.one 11 points 2 years ago

This is pretty much how I expected it to go. All we can do now is hope whatever scabs take over are terrible at the job and the ship continues to sink.

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Arrgh, if it be mutiny then we stand by ye captain. Unfurl the sails and man the cannons ye land'lubbers.

"Your users rely on your community for information, support, entertainment, and finding connection with others who have similar interests."

We do indeed rely on your community for that! And we've been doing just fine without Reddit. :)

Oh my. It has begun.
