It's really weird to see a subreddit devoted to piracy full of people who really, really don't like the idea of sticking it to this company.
Don't expect all pirates to be 'against the man', some are just lazy gits who don't wanna spend money (not that there's anything wrong with that) and don't give much of a damn otherwise about 'the other shit'.
I'm 100% on board with the protest, and I'm 100% on board with /r/piracy just dying if for no other reason than just because Reddit is the worst fucking place to deal with piracy, especially with the times they threatened to nuke the sub in the past, double-especially with that time the mods had to wipe out pretty much the entire history of the subreddit in order to prevent it from being shut down.
In short, the ones left in r/piracy in reddit now are the leechers and freeloaders.
the thing is that db0 (the previous top mod) should have made it clear that each post contained a bot autobot that told us to go to lemmy the main forum and that r/piracy is temporary.. This would probably make that subreddit close as soon as possible, which would be our first choice in the first place.
But neither db0, nor other mods are ready to leave that subreddit, they want r/piracy to continue. So that's why they are not linking to this site.
And I don't care honestly, I will as many of you also will do probably, will focus on my own needs, and if r/piracy isn't according to my needs I will leave. I mainly use it to get news about the piracy world to be honest.
What did you expect from pirates?
