    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.

    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.

    I can't read comments over there anymore, they've become some of the biggest bootlickers on the site. Moving to Lemmy was a very effective way to filter out all the dipshits.

    I am really disappointed in the current Reddit r/Piracy community. Reddit is horrendous, but seems like that community is extremely ignorant about the actual condition. They don't deserve any of the good things.

    If you've seen the questions they ask, and the answers people give.

    Nowadays they're asking the very same question (which is “why the fuck are those morons still protesting against Reddit? They've done nothing wrong!”) - without searching - every while and then. And it actually violates the latest rule of “only sexy pirate John Oliver artwork may be posted”. ;)

    I mean r/piracy is running on borrowed time, might as well use its last moments as a redirect.

    r/piracy is probably on borrowed time. Might as well return it to normal and wait for it to inevitably be banned. By then, Lemmy should hopefully be more polished.

    To be very blunt, it's best to leave Reddit. Within a year or two, discussing piracy itself would be banned there.

    Yarrr. Even pirates have principles.

    At this point I no longer care. I yet haven’t uninstalled Apollo and Boost out of respect for the developers but haven’t used them in 3 weeks. Come the 30th I will uninstall them and that is it. I will continue tu use Reddit as a search clutch while it works but will only get my fix of news either here or via rss feed as I used to do prior to Reddit.

    The protesting should go on, but it's 1.7k against 3.1k who want to open fully if I remember corrently.I bit the bullet and went into the poll comments as well. Clown comment section ~ 95%. I am sad and disgusted. I'm happy they are over there and not here. Ironically it convinced me to never step foot back in there.

    That's the thing, all the people who are against the changes left Reddit so logically there's progressively less pro protest users and the ones left don't care about it and want to get back to normal.

    I don‘t even think it‘s worth it for me to go and vote, just gives spez a click he doesn‘t deserve. Maybe best for me to leave it up to those who still give a shit about Reddit to decide what they want to do with their platform. As long as this instance is up, I‘m good! Ty db0!

    The comments are spicy, the mods are hated there.

    It's because the people who agree with us have already moved here.

    I would say let the people who want to stay on reddit have it. This protest was the best thing that could have happened to /r/piracy, because now there is this place with 17k subscribers. I know there was another backup before this, but I don't think it was this popular. And if reddit will go public there is a good chance that that subreddit will be banned or quarantined and at that point it would have been hard to spread information about something like this place.

    Disappointing that 2/3 of the remaining users seem to vote for reopening.

    Hell yeah, it got alot of people to Lemmy.

    I'm very curious how reddit will handle it; they would probably hesitate openly supporting a piracy sub by putting in new mods

    So disappointed at the poll results

    I think we have to keep up the protest. Personally, I find Lemmy much better than Reddit. All that's missing is for users to follow the movement, but that's not going to happen.

    r/piracy is living on borrowed time. Let’s leave on our own terms for once!

    Can someone relay the outcome of the poll? I can't see it without an account and without voting

    Last I checked, the majority that are still on Reddit are voting to give up

    Why did they create a poll that is only accecible through new.reddit.com or the official app?? Of course it will be in favour of giving up 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Voting with two comments as done previously is supported by all clients..

    Edit: Statement from an official mod (old), they're internally discussing about an official second post that is also accecible through old reddit

    Pirates don't protest when the ship is sinking. They commandeer another ship and use that one.

    Well, the sub had gone downhill recently anyway - endless memes or posts about 'what is seeding' 'what is a vpn' 'what is plex' or just idiots who got an ISP notice and think it means they are going to jail.
