Rule 1:

Sexy pirate John Oliver artwork ONLY

Now I have been there for around 4-5 months and Reddit just killing piracy over there and making it a rule uploading this bullshit sucks.

It is not really a useful sub anymore, get off.

Yes I will be active on her though. It is the only useful thing now.

Do you think they just want to troll you?

Have you really not read one of the many stickied posts all over Reddit about the blackout and what the admins are going to do to that website?

Yeah, that's literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 years ago

It's honestly hilarious Reddit bungled this so badly as to upset everyone. Ah well, at least with this digital piracy community I can rest assured a corporation isn't censoring discourse.

Elon has shown the way to spectacularly self destruct!

Active on her? She's a lucky lady 😂

Reddit is probably going to be happy about the protest in this sub. Can't imagine that investors like the sub about getting stuff for free...

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago

I mean, the sub was closed and Reddit forced it to reopen, so there is an argument they do endorse piracy

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

I still can't believe Reddit actually decided to do that. I thought they were going to ban the sub or keep it closed.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

I figured given all the other subs to force back open, they should've just not risked the potential bad-press of appearing to endorse digital piracy right before going public as a company, and just stayed quiet and said nothing.

But then they should be happy we wanted to stay close right? How is a big dead sub better than a private one new people wouldn't even know it exists? Forcing r/piracy open was a very weird decision, I still don't get it.

Piracy and privacy guides, two main reasons why I'm here. Arggg 🤣

Aye a fellow lemmy.one user 🙋‍♂️🚢

Aye a fellow lemmy.one user!

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

@hyperio The great thing is, I don't even have to sign up. I just follow this sub (do you still call it a sub?) from my #Mastodon!

Ahh, bless the #Fediverse.

It won't be the same without RARBG. 😭

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

i still miss isohunt and mininova

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

I've not thought about Isohunt for a looooong time. That takes me back.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Mininova? I still miss Suprnova!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Wow haven't heard those names in ages

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

yeah, consistently great 1080p X265 releases you could rely on them, this was a big loss for me, nobody release that many X265 releases that fast, PSA only mainstream, megusta only TV shows, everything else either too slow or too rare

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've switched to the RBG and INFINITY x265 1080p releases from TorrentFunk or 1337x. IMO they are a decent replacement for the RARBG x265 1080p releases but its hard to find some movies.

The selection on RARBG was just insane..

@hyperio

Ohhh, what a clueless summer child. Hussshh, everything will be alright.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Let's do it then

Arr, take my wooden peg!

Quick question, how does this piracy community compare with fmhy?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Fmhy are just providers of the instance and that's what their general communities focus on. For information regarding the high seas, this is the community you want to look into.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

No actually fmhy is technically a "competitor" to this community if you want to call it that. I personally think fmhy has a better megathread than this one due to it being updated much more frequently, but essentially both communities are similar.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Either one community will become big and the other small.

Or, the two communities will start going into niches (like, one being more focused on movies and the other games)

And seeing as you can subscribe to both, I assume that these communities will assist each other.

The strength of federation is that you have no "one-true-community" anymore. If one gets sick (I.e. Reddit) you have other safe havens to take over

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Ich war dabei. Los Piraten!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I didn't use /r/piracy, but I do read this forum

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Just the quality of replies and posts here over the old sub, is honestly alone worth the move.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'm afraid to ask, but why John Oliver?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He makes Last Week Tonight which is a show with a big reach, Reddit-Mods are essentially pinging him.

He did respond on Twitter with a dump of sexy pictures of him to post.

The show is on pause because of the writers-strike at the moment, so it might take a while for this to be a topic.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I wasn't sure if the writers strike was still happening. Earlier today I did search on YouTube for his segment on the reddit situation to see what he had to say.
