Surprising its not one on lemmynsfw
Hell yeah
Piracy and Porn rule the Internet
Ahem, misinformation would like a word with you.
Misinfo needs to piggyback off of what people are using their internet connections primarily for.
I thought that it would have been one of the Linux subs lol
I for one didn’t know about Lemmy until the redit piracy community moved here.
I think I might be one of the very few reddit admins who took the move to lemmy seriously and that’s why we managed to succeed so well.
Yup. I remember how hectic that sub was during the exodus lol
Wow, impressive
I just want to say db0 thanks for pythorhead!! definitely made my bot a bit easier to write.
Glad to hear it!
Yo ho ho 🏴☠️
Yarr!
It’s a fantastic resource even if you are personally kinda cringe.
Thanks hexbear. If you’re from one of the bullying crowd, then the feeling’s mutual :P
i am half italian and i approve of this message
Piracy and Star Trek communities had a lot more success migrating their communities over to lemmy compared to other communities. Not 100% success as many opposed to the migration (I remember seeing big drama on r/piracy back then, and lesser drama on r/startrek), but a good chuck of them was successfully migrating to lemmy.
Edit: wait, I didn’t realized it’s @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com himself that made this post. Man, I don’t know how you’re able keep going with encouraging redditors to migrate to lemmy with how redditors that stay on r/piracy was treating you. I say good riddance! Your hard work paid off!
He is the best , thank you all you do Db0
How were redditors treating them? Just being obnoxious and refusing to change?
My memory is hazy, but during the subreddit protest, he was somehow removed from moderator list (did the admins got involved?), and the sub reopened shortly after. From then on, any thread about migration to Lemmy is full of people roasting each other. It was awful. No idea why those who remains were so vehemently opposed to migration of a piracy community. It’s not like you can openly discuss piracy stuff on Reddit without risking removal by the admins.
Yes, the admins removed me without warning then re-arranged the mod team
To what level is this community still affiliated with the subreddit?
Same mods. I don’t particularly hang out in reddit anymore, but @sunbrothersco@lemmy.dbzer0.com is still doing unpaid volunteering for spez :P
Well I’m not really on reddit anymore, so that helps 😁
You are the man!
Thank you so much for your work
Bro, this community rocks, I didn’t ditch Reddit completely but god all the time I head to /r/piracy are the same repeated memes all over again, here we have actual discussion.
As /r/piracy was one of my favorite subreddits, if not the favorite I always was scared Reddit would vanish it… Well not anymore, I am glad Lemmy happened so we have this awesome community, possibly forever.
BTW my lemm.ee account was created due to my prior lemmy.world blocking this community, I know they backtracked that decision, but I am so comfortable here that I didn’t even bother to go back.
Lol, for me it was similar, I had a few things I didn’t like about lemm.ee so I ditched my account there and went here by accident (well just by searchimg and it fulfilling all my needs and a ton more things), ended up liking this instance a ton so it became my daily driver
How is it different from lemmee? Legit question, I hate my instance and server admin.
What exactly is the issue with our admins? If you feel you’ve received some unjustified moderation, feel free to contact me and I can have a look.
Well first they support file uploads, second I feel like everyone I ever met from this instance was nice to everyone (sure that can be because it’s smaller but it also has less controversies (i.e. what the dude I was replying to, the lemmy.world blocking us) due to the overall nature of this instance)
Went here for the file uploads, stayed for the community, that’s what I can personally say
I’d suggest the switch for you
How did redditors treat him? I was subscribed to the sub and I have no idea who db0 is. I recently learned that db0 owns the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance but I don’t know anything beyond that.
It’s still one of the top posts on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555?scrollToComments=true . r/piracy went downhill soon after this.
So what?
He was a mod and then he wasn’t. Why does it matter? Whas he a very active and liked mod or something? And reddit did that not redditors.
It’s unprecedented at the time because he was the top mod so the only one that can remove him was Reddit admins, and they did. r/piracy fell into a complete chaos shortly after that, lots of awful stuff so I didn’t stay long to see how it went.
Then how was it the “Redditors” fault?
A pirate is always free.
At no fee 🎶
