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.

    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.

    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.

      I would imagine that can lead to legal troubles endorsing r/piracy willingly?

      Accepting it is one thing, but forcing it to open is entirely different.

        I would imagine too, but who knows, there is a different set of rules for companies and the rich.

        Now that Reddit is asserting direct control over it, maybe they‘ll turn it into an anti-piracy sub to prevent any legal trouble.

    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.

    This shouldn’t be a surprise… It was only a matter of time after Reddit got taken over by the CCP…

    it’s almost like actions have consequences. having a fucking tantrum over app got you spanked. what did we learn? play nice with the man that can do that to your accounts. if you care that is.

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

        I’m constantly linking people to Lemmy communities when I’m posting. I’m deleting my account on the 30th but until then I’ll shill for Fediverse
