Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Archive and delete is the only language those scurvy dogs speak.

Look at them using the community and users as a shield and a bargaining chip.

Glad I made it over here before the ship sank!

Thanks for your sacrifice in the fight

IMO the option here would be to open the sub, but implement new rules.

Nowhere does it say the sub needs to be on topic. There are many off-topic subs out there (that news sub that's mostly porn, marijuanaenthusiasts).

From now on, only text posts containing a punchline to the joke "why did the chicken cross the road" are allowed.

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.

Whatever happens rest assured that we will keep the community alive and well here!

They are afraid. Gold, just means we need to keep working on making this community better. Stronger.

Reddit proverbially taking their ball and going home lmao

reddit stunk anyway, virtually every community was inaccessible to new users and to top it, it wasn't new user friendly with all the stupid perm bans without explanations

Whenever you see inserted words, please imagine an awkwardly moving but very colorful parrot squawking it.

The ability to ~~find and~~ make these ~~connections~~ prrrofits is incredibly important to ~~many people~~ ourrr sharrreholders, and ensuring that active communities are able to remain [a] stable and active ~~(and open)~~ source of prrrofits is very important forrr us!

Our goal here is to work ~~with~~ the existing mod team ~~to find a path forward~~ into exile and make sure your subreddit is usable for the ~~community~~ company which makes its ~~home~~ monnney here.

Oh captain my captain!

Good riddance I say, this seems a lot better than reddit anyways! Thanks for getting this going!

Welp! I'm glad I made the switch to Lemmy at least.

Checking in to say fuck Reddit!

Oh my. It has begun.

This is pretty much how I expected it to go. All we can do now is hope whatever scabs take over are terrible at the job and the ship continues to sink.

Great thing we are hunkered down here now!

"Your users rely on your community for information, support, entertainment, and finding connection with others who have similar interests."

We do indeed rely on your community for that! And we've been doing just fine without Reddit. :)

Arrgh, if it be mutiny then we stand by ye captain. Unfurl the sails and man the cannons ye land'lubbers.

Our new ship is strong!

Is there a way to archive/clone most posts from r/piracy on here, I think while the api works, that's something we should think about.

O captain, my captain!
