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.

    "In analyzing the availability of the immunity offered by Section 230, courts generally apply a three-prong test. A defendant must satisfy each of the three prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:

    1. The defendant must be a “provider or user” of an “interactive computer service”.
    2. The cause of action asserted by the plaintiff must treat the defendant as the “publisher or speaker” of the harmful information at issue.

    3. The information must be “provided by another information content provider”, i.e., the defendant must not be the “information content provider” of the harmful information at issue."

    If Reddit the company is now picking and choosing who approves or blocks harmful information, are they an information content provider now? Are they liable if their chosen mods allow harmful content?

    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.

    Its an industrial lockout so classically you either organize and strike even harder or burn down the capitalist pigs factory.

    Wow, didn’t figure they’d go so blatantly mask off this early on. They must be nervous.

    Also dumb. Have they never dealt with pirates before? Cut off one head and two more grow to replace it. Good luck you shmucks.

      We’ll just tell the pirates that what they’re doing is wrong and they’ll stop right? Right?

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

    Make sure you remove any and all bots created, and delete all the custom work you did. Reddit can probably restore it, but it’ll take them time and effort to do so.

      They can restore the bot accounts, sure, but they can’t restore the servers that run those bot accounts.

    Well I guess its time to flood r/piracy with magnet links as soon as the new jannies open it.
