The top mod of r/piracy has been removed by the admins and the subreddit will reopen.

    something about this is hilariously ironic, given how much reddit cracked down on various piracy subreddits.

      For sure. They just banned /NewYuzuPriacy 3 days ago for example.

      The only thing that makes sense to me is that they sent an automated message to all the private subs over a certain threshold. And it looks like some scab submod decided to mutiny and take the sub.

        Well considering it should be really difficult to mod in coming days, spam make accounts and spam the sub sending people over seems to be the best way to counter this move. Make it hurt knowing that subreddit took away the tools Mods need to moderate effectively.

    r/pics was forced to reopen but they complied maliciously by limiting themselves to pics of John Oliver. If there are any sympathetic mods left, maybe r/piracy could be limited to pictures of pirates? I deleted both of my reddit accounts so I wouldn’t be able to vote if there was a poll.

      I’m still on reddit due to following subs that has very little chance to move here. If there are any hilarious poll like the one on r/pics, I will gladly help to make the result as hilarious as possible… lol…

    I read r/piracys statement on reddit and was impresed.

    It seems to me that most mods and users of many of the largest subreddits (and many small) are willing to fight hard and long to usurp Lord King Spez and that there is alot of coordination taking place amongst mods. Do you share this view.ä?

    It seems to me in that many subreddits and users will have to move in the end. Agree? And it might be a good thing that not all users follow (reddit has been getting worse the last 5 years)?

    What is one thing lemmy or kbin should improve on asap?

    Thanks for all you mods do.

    Call Bowser! He’ll never stand for this.

    What’s really odd about this is that just yesterday they were banning NewYuzuPiracy and then they turned around and force a piracy sub-open. Nintendo might feel this is a slap at them because they said they’d help us and then opened the largest piracy sub back up.
