Is there a list of subs that moved/duplicated the sub to Lemmy/Kbin/similar and run by the same mods?

If not, let us know in the comments!

r/piracy has officially moved to [email protected]

but reddit's forced them to reopen the sub (yes, a piracy sub lmao)... let's see what kind of [email protected] thing they come up with lol

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

wait, reddit can force people to use their social?

[–] [email protected] 70 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

No, but that is not what they said, they said they were forced to reopen. That happened in such a way: they sent a message to the main mod and told him to reopen or be replaced. He didn‘t respond within an hour, so they removed him as main mod and made some other mod who was willing to play ball the main mod.

Since there is always some sucker to be found on Reddit who enjoys taking orders and licking boots, no sub can really defend against this move by Reddit admins. Which is probably why some other mods decided to maliciously comply instead.

Me, I think anyone with some dignity would go out like the r/piracy mod did, don‘t respond and get removed and rebuild elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I don't think the mod refused to respond if this is to be believed. It seems Reddit sent a message but at a bad time (for the mod). He apparently never got a chance to respond.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

Imagine being so douchey that, despite relying on free content and free moderation, you still whine about not being profitable being the users' fault and then you demand from moderators that they are basically available 24/7 to take your call. This is not just a dumpster fire, this is throwing canisters of gasoline into a dumpster fire.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Yeah true, that is more accurate to what he said.

Yeah, pretty much. To not reopen you have to have absolute confidence that no one on the mod team will succumb to the temptation to steal ownership of the sub. The fact that some subs have fallen prey to this (like /r/piracy) is why mods have been wringing their hands and reopening subs left and right.

Honestly this shit is early IRC drama all over again; kick all the other ops from the channel and it belongs to you, provided those people aren't registered in the ChanServ. /u/spez is the ChanServ, and he's letting everyone know he's willing to look the other way.

I forgot how much I missed that feature.

[–] Blissingg 10 points 2 years ago

Don’t worry even if any of your mods on the mod team don’t want to play ball they can just remove all the mods and install their own. They don’t need to be a current mod to be given ownership.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I've got to think that Reddit is going to get a lot less and lower quality free moderator activity after this, reducing the quality of the site.

[–] d_bradr 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. Also I remember when loveforlandlords went from a shitpost sub for making memes about landlords from the perspective of the landlords to a cringe sub about non-jokingly hating on landlords because some degenerate couldn't fathom the existence of such a sub, even tho there's a sub for serious hating on landlords already. He became the main mod, kicked everybody else and the others made loveforlandchads instead

Just like this, Reddit kicked DB0 and he made the Lemmy server

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting, but I can‘t find sympathy for landlordlovers in myself, I filtered that out immediately when I discovered it. Bad enough I have to work so much and pay almost half of my income to one who just sits around and does nothing, I don’t need to be mocked for it online too.

Anyway, the great thing about the fediverse is you can make this community as an instance too if you need it and then other instances who dislike that can defederate and we can hopefully all live in peace and harmony (at least online).

[–] d_bradr 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The thing is, loveforlandlords wasn't about actually loving landlords. It was stuff like "Oh single mother? Time to increase rent", satire from the perspective of the landlord. Then the new mod came in and he was like "Nah fuck this" and turned it into landlordlove 2 electric boogaloo

Loveforlandlords was like boozecruisers, satirising something a lot of people dislike. Now loveforlandchads is the good one and landlords is a dogshit sub

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I see, I misunderstood it then, but to be fair some subs say they are satire and then the people who actually believe this are there too, like with the_donald which I thought was funny satire in the beginning, until a point when it really wasn‘t.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 0 points 2 years ago

Reddit has become a treadmill of funny and cool people running away from lame asses, forever.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

An hour? Bloody hell, what if they had wanted to but had been asleep or something?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

A requirement to answer a message within the hour 24/7 seems very strict for a paid job, never mind a volunteer moderator doing this stuff for free.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah I had it a little bit wrong and someone else corrected it—the mod said he hadn‘t even seen it before he was removed, someone else alerted him to what had happened after the fact.

[–] d_bradr 41 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Can't force people to use Reddit but they can make mods open subs or else they get booted and replaced by good little lap dogs. That's why DB0 opened up on Lemmy. But I'll never know why they force opened PIRACY lol

[–] linearchaos 4 points 2 years ago

It must in some way be included in their profitability plan. Either the data of the users there or ads to those eyes are worth money to them

[–] dis_honestfamiliar 2 points 2 years ago

Forced to open. Will kill third-party apps which includes mod tools. I wonder what will be the malicious compliance here.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reddit can tell moderators who have locked their sub that they have a choice of opening it, or get removed as moderators and be replaced by admin appointees.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

wow, that's literally a dictatorship

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

More reason to leave Reddit. My 17yr Reddit account is now dormant.

[–] OtakuAltair 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You could also use the account to damage their value for when they go public lol; the more comments you've made the better. You'll lose your account of course, so do it instead of deleting it.

Copied from there:

  • [Choose 1/3] Open Zompist’s gen. Take off the line saying “ki|či”, and click “Generate”. You’ll get some random babble like “Bepe topioi kabi brete i kropra”, copy it somewhere.
  • [Choose 2/3] Open https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/ to get an entire bullshit article
  • [Choose 3/3] Open https://nonsense.x2d.org/ to get a bullshit sentence, i suggest getting a few ones.
  • Open your Reddit profile and drag the button of Power Delete Suite to it.
  • [Optional] Check the box saying “prepare local backup of items”, if you want to save your content elsewhere.
  • Uncheck “remove comments”. You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
  • [Optional] uncheck “remove posts”. It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
  • Check “Edit comments / self posts”. It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompist’s gen there. Then click “process”.
  • Just wait!
  • [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.

You could also redirect lemmy over here when you get the chance, and go upvote when other people do the same

At least for the time being, this is what I'm doing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

same with my almost 3yr account

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

The term is "private company." A dictatorship is a form of government.
