Hey /r/piracy. Reddit admins de-modded the captain and put a sword to the mod-team’s necks to re-open. It seems they really demand valuable input from pirates. I look forward to you to taking this tacit Reddit endorsement of digital piracy to heart in the coming days!

I don’t know how long I’ll remain around. I seem to have caught the eye of Sauron and I’m not the top mod anymore. Hopefully the remaining mods won’t scab but it’s out of my control now.

Feel free to join me at the failback forum. You know where ;) It’s fun being an unshackled pirate once more!

They won’t let us live, they won’t let us die.

    Remaining mods should go the r/pics route and only allow sea piracy content or something lol

        The mods should just nuke everything related to old /r/Piracy on the basis that software piracy is forbidden by Reddit TOS or something like that and fill it with history of sea piracy and modern sea piracy. That would be trolling of epic proportions.

        That would be even better, considering the amount of info there is and traffic it generates. Haven’t looked into whether or not Reddit admins could restore the nuked content, though; if they could, it’s unlikely they’d allow such a big sub to stay nuked…

          They definitely could, just look at how much previously deleted content is being restored randomly.

          If they restore nuked content, concerned citizens should use archive.org history to prove that reddit, as a company, willingly re-created links to copyrighted content and get the riaa etc to sue reddit?

          If I could meme, I’d definitely be doing one of Ragnarok, reddit facing down the mods: you can’t beat me! I know, but he can!

      Honestly, regarding the fewer restrictions thing, why do we still have rules against not sharing links? What’s gonna stop the community since it’s more free from authority?

        I’d imagine, if the server the instance is located is in a place like the US, you’d be at risk of being taken down. But I’m just totally guessing.

          Plus if the government got overzealous direct links could be trouble for any US based moderators despite where the sever is located.

          Id imagine helping maintain and run an online forum that actively shares links directly to illegitimately obtained movies/games/etc. is against the rules somehow.

          Think of it as an extra safety measure. You never know, better safe than sorry.

          I pinged the ip and looked it up. It seems to be located in Germany. Hmm… 🤔 Not sure if they’re strict or lenient on piracy

    Start posting magnet links to Nintendo Switch ROMs on r/piracy, and write “endorsed by Reddit, Inc” with a screenshot of the messages from Reddit encouraging the reopening.
