MODERATORS
Fuck spez man and these mods that are backing down to him.
The mods blinked first as they didn't want to lose their 'magical internet powers' 🤷♂️
The mods are being removed from many subreddits, including r/piracy. Reddit threw in the towel and decided to stop pretending they were community-moderated.
pretending they were community-moderated.
Unless you remember electing your mods, "community moderated" simply means "we don't pay the jannies, they literally do it for free lol!" It was never about the "community" having a voice.
don't forget the supermod awkwardturtle is a proud and loud pedophile (no, actually he or she prays on confused teens and has "retreats") saying this anything about this will get you an instant permaban on reddit

Lmao I wonder what drama is going on at the corporate reddit office
I hope the picture of spez having sexy time with female Garfield is getting printed out and pictures hung up on all the office walls.
why would you think that reddit's employees hate spez?
Based on how he speaks to the media and about his customerbase, I wouldn't be shocked if he treats his employees just as badly
@anonymous_FTP @Abridgedlife @SpezCanLigmaBalls @BusinessPigeon
Well that's just speculation on our part.
For all we could know. The ones that don't want to be treated badly has left long ago and what remains of reddit employees are those who share the CEOs views and support it.
well shit, we survive the great purge before hopefully we can this one too
They removed the mod (our admin) and are reopening it to stamp out the blackout movement. I‘m not going to go there at all, this is going to be a lobotomised version of r/piracy with some reddit employee or a spez loyalist scab at the helm—no thanks!
yeah ive always been quiet on the reddit but lemmy feels a lot more open, like i wont get thwacked in the head with a rolled newspaper for asking questions lol
Well said, I actually got dinged a lot from automods using this word "kill" in various context for example one I remember well: "The Iranian government is killing people and wondering why they fight back?!" And DING I get whacked by the automod again for using a bad word. I mean I don‘t mind moderation, but that was so weird I had to self censor myself like "The Iranian government is acting in ways that end people‘s lives and wondering why they fight back?!" to get my comment posted. What a pain.
Got perma banned for calling him Andrew Taint and his subscribers paypigs without the sexual gratification lol. Last time I got banned for referring to myself as retarded when I lost my ass on options
Yes, I mean there will be limits and our admins named some but overall it seems way more free.
Likely because it's federated instances and each specialises in something.
I've seen former thedonald mods trying to get their hands on major subs from the admins.
r/wallstreetsilver is now just the_donald / consoomer neo nazi sub. reddit is falling apart
Would take an interesting turn of events if people would get the sub in legal trouble, after Reddit itself essentially enforced the opening
Time to do what /r/steam and /r/pics are doing. Change rules and only talk about actual Naval piracy!
Who did they replace the mod with

(first time linking a post here, not sure if it's correct)
Ah, thanks. I found this in the comment chain:
The second mod did it. They did not contact me at all so it seems they’re communicating with the admins
First time linking stuff too, so let's see if this works:
Worked for me!
Appreciate the link.
actively restoring r/piracy
actively forcing a community dedicated to breaking DCMA by proxy back online
actively trying to get an IPO
that's certainly a choice.
I said this on another post on this topic. I think this is deliberate. Why would a company that is about to have an IPO want to support anticapitalist subs like Piracy and Antiwork? The saying is never let a good crisis go to waste.
Well, my popcorn is ready, let's see how that will work out
/r/piracy is now a compromised sub to me. Not trusting the resources there.
Reddit is forcing open restricted subs by replacing their mods.
Piracy is better practiced irl anyways
how about not opening at all as long as possible until all demands are met?
I’m good over here. No need to go back to Reddit.
very based, I agree
This feels more like home and I would rather help build something up that isn’t controlled by psycho fan boys.
It‘s basically a coup coming from the top, a dictatorship‘s cleansing of dissenters. It‘s as if some Russians protested against Putin by striking, and so he has them all thrown out the window or into prison and then replaces them with those professing eternal loyalty.
So the loyalists will do whatever Reddit wants. Hopefully we can rebuild here.
Does this mean, based on the email I saw that Reddit was sending out, at least one of the piracy mods turned to the dark side, the email apparently says if one of the moderators would like to work with them to reopen closed subs to contact them. It also mentions that they will protect said mod from retaliation.
This just further supports my conspiracy theory /r/piracy is a honeypot. Seems like they opened this subreddit mighty fast (I know supposedly the same message and threat were sent a automatically to all subreddits of a certain size)
I'm already gone and I'm not coming back.
I just got banned again and only use reddit to look at my saved posts, so nah. Done with it come july 1
