Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Seems like reddit openly aknowledging they have this kind of power, control, and willingness to take administrative action in a piracy sub would open them up to some DMCA issues for hosting it.

They have done this for years, unfortunately. Admins are the weak spot in Reddit, not the jannies (ironically). My sympathies!

This company… Wow. All they’re doing is hiding behind their riot shields, and users are crying and coughing from the tear gas.

Well there goes my reddit account. r/Piracy was one of my biggest resources and it seems to be going in an unfortunate direction, so I don't see a point for giving reddit my data.
