TL;DR: They demodded OP, the founder (I think?), of /r/piracy to force them to reopen. This shows that Reddit thinks it’s very important for users to have access to piracy information and a place to discuss piracy on the platform.
This is tacit support for posting piracy on Reddit, and, really, the only reason not to post direct links to pirated content is now gone since the threat of taking the sub private is what “we” want anyway. I suppose you could also get your account banned from Reddit, too.
I’m not a lawyer, but I wonder about legal challenges this opens Reddit to. It would be amazing if Disney now sued Reddit for encouraging piracy of their content. You can definitely trust Disney to be lawsuit happy assholes, right? I’d get a lot of shadenfreud from that.
They could undo that as well. My current plan is to get all my data via GDPR request, host it on my server so that my useful posts and comments don’t get lost forever and then order them to delete all my stuff via a GDPR request.
Do you have a laptop with a dvd reader, or have a computer cafe near you? They're dying out so more developed cities/countries might not have them. They'll definitely have one with a dvd viewer which you can use to dump using imgburn
Move all the information here and run power delete suite on you reddit accounts while you still can with links to join-lemmy.org, I think that will hurt them quite a bit.
A Mod on the F1 sub was saying that Reddit Admins are threatening any subs that are closed by saying that any mods who are opposed to re-opening subs will be demoted with them being replaced with mods who are willing to co-operate.
For those who still have a reddit account, I took the liberty to remind u/spez that he, too, wasn't democratically elected, so I created a referendum post on whether he should remain in his position as a CEO. Maybe give this an upvote if you want to.
tbh Im not surprised they would. r/piracy is both niche and wouldnt be worth to remove mods for. Subs like r/aww or r/funny however are main parts of Reddit, and this also applies to massive game subs like r/Minecraft
