As much as I support 3rd party apps I felt this Blackout is stupid from start. Majority of users don't even know what Blackout is for and are furious the subreddits are not working. Reddit was anyhow going to open them back. They have too much money and resources to keep subreddits running without current mods and the current mods will not let the power go off their hand because of some protest like r/apple is now back online. I hate this lemmy shit website. I don't want piracy subreddit going dark forever as its good chance for reddit to ban this community. Mods please give it a thought and open the subreddit. Many people like me rely on information for piracy and the megathread is just not enough. Let us see what other members think about this.

Edit:- everybody downvoting won't think twice before jumping back to reddit when subreddit goes back online.

Strong disagree, ESPECIALLY for this community. Once shareholders are involved I expect r/piracy to be on the chopping block anyway. It's easy to take a stand as a private entity but once they're public he'll get replaced faster than he's replacing mods to get subs open again if they think he's aiding and abetting criminal shiz.
