Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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.

Good riddance I say, this seems a lot better than reddit anyways! Thanks for getting this going!

"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?

reddit stunk anyway, virtually every community was inaccessible to new users and to top it, it wasn't new user friendly with all the stupid perm bans without explanations

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.

Oh captain my captain!

~~Tried to crosspost this to reddit@lemmy.ml but jerboa seems unable to atm. Could someone do that so it spreads? Thanks~~

nvm it just takes a few minutes for the app to show latest posts/comments

Scabs, the lot of em

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.

Oh my. It has begun.

O 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.

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.

It looks like the sub is now in restricted mode - is that the doing of the other members of the mod team or is admin trying to control outrage?

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!

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

Be sure to remove as much as you can and heavily encourage heavy contributors to delete their comment history. They have no value without our data.
