A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.

    Haha what the fuck I really did NOT think they would do that to r/piracy of all things. Ah well fuck them and their shitty IPO. I‘m here with you guys for good, the structure of the fediverse suits our purposes and community better anyway.

      Also worth flooding them with links a map to where they can board the new ship where the 🏴‍☠️ flag still flies high.

    This could not be any funnier. Please reddit, take legal control of the piracy subreddit, right as you take the experienced mod team out. I’m sure everything will go fantastic.

    Well, good thing that you prepared well in advance and have already built a nice alternative.

    Reddit is done

    lol imagine being so desperate for the protest to come to an end that you are even targeting a community that engages in legally questionable activity.

    I’m sure the process of determining what mods to DM was automated, but even so, it’s still pretty funny to me.

    This is happening all over reddit.

    Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

    You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.

    They went easy on you. Some overzealous mod permabanned my entire account for talking about Lemmy. Allegedly against their ‘content guidelines’
