One of the mods posted here that they were forcibly removed by admin

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!

(first time linking a post here, not sure if it's correct)

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.

/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?

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.

I'm already gone and I'm not coming back.

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 just got banned again and only use reddit to look at my saved posts, so nah. Done with it come july 1
