John Oliver so sexy you don't even have to ask the AI to make him so ...
Let Reddit die, they've monetized our content and then spit at our faces, especially at the mods.
Please create a decentralized harbor to share piracy related content. Dont visit this site again.
Since the blackout, I've only visited Reddit to rip off content for my own Lemmy community, and to vote in this poll lol
Just close the sub and make it full link through to this page. 1 link, explain why you've closed and link this Lemmy. Cut your losses & gtfo
That won't work. That's what we originally did and they demodded me to reopen it
What about turning piracy into a porn sub only allowing submissions of pirate themed porn. Seems like the best malicious compliance with how advertisers don't really like to be associated with porn.
keep it open, add automod(if those will even be possible) explaining the situation in every post linking alternatives.
were you the only mod? or are there other people that are still involved that could help. i didn't really pay attention to the mod list
the captain of our ship!

Instead of John Oliver, every post must include a link to this site (lemmy).

I vote for our Lord John Oliver
I'm done with Reddit. This latest debacle prompted me to look into Reddit's history, had no idea before. What an awful company. Also a community not subject to corporate interest is better for everyone. Anyway, I'm not going back there so if the sub gets closed down, no skin off my nose. Yeah do what you will.

Allow direct links to pirated content. If they ban you, then so be it.
In case you don't know how to find some relevant pictures to post, have I got just the tool for you!

Simply talk to my mastodon bot like this, or my reddit bot like this (You can summon the reddit bot from anywhere in reddit btw)
Alternatively, just use a dedicated client like Lucid Creations or ArtBot and make up your own style
The salt in the comments of the announcement are glorious though. Yeah, poor pirates getting robbed of their sub. Pirates never have to go to various different websites to get what they want, yep.
I have already created some ai images and they are so silly. I can't wait.
I started generating them after I first read about r/pics. Turns out NovelAI is really good at making John Oliver images.
John Oliver becoming to redditors what Adam Driver is to John Oliver and I'm here for it
Incredible to see so many Huffman's simps in the comments, no wonder why the blackouts weren't that effective
It just means most of the people with principles have already moved here, or that reddit is engaging in disgusting levels of astroturfing. The latest Announcement is even worse. Regardless, it's just ruined.
Pirates crying and simping for reddit are truly the dumbest thinking piracy dedicated communities have a future on a company trying to artificially inflate their value so they can sell it off to other investors. Probably don't even use any sort of adblock.
I guess it's for the best that those astroturfing people stay on Reddit while we can enjoy the Lemmy-verse.
Wow, that was my first time back on reddit since all this happened, and even though it was for good, I still feel a bit... unclean. Like I helped them out by sending traffic their way
Question: Would sexy pirate pictures of his fursona, John Ottiver, count?
of course!
That sentence is cursed.
Thank you. :)
I'm disappointed they're just doing the John Oliver thing again instead of something more unique like making the sub about literal high seas piracy.
I think it should be literal piracy themed porn, since advertisers don't really like to be associated with porn. Every sub should be moving the shift to becoming porn.
@AtomicPurple @db0 Now that /r/piracy is officially endorsed by Reddit staff I reckon they should allow direct links to copyright-infringing content. Disney's lawyers would get a good payout from Reddit.
I don't get the reasoning behind the poll. If the admins don't allow to shut r/piracy down then just post links to pirated material. It's closed.
Wasn't this sub in danger of being closed a few years ago? So let them.
I deleted my accounts and refuse to click Reddit links, so I can‘t vote or even see it, but I hope whatever option is most annoying to the admins wins.
Options are:
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to allow sexy pirate John Oliver posts only at reopening.
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to return to normal operations at reopening.
Scores are hidden, so there's no way to see which is winning yet. However, every sub that's done something similar so far has come out John Oliver themed.
Well Option 2 is a stinker, easy choice for anyone who isn‘t a spez sockpuppet.
I’m just looking forward to the funny John Oliver edits hitting lemmy and maybe an episode on enshittification of corporate social media.
Who tf wants discussion about digital piracy on Reddit? Sexy pirate John Oliver pictures is way better
Glad to see there wasn't a hostile takeover of the sub. +1 for the Lemmy link.
Yarr harr! All hail the swashbuckling matey of Reddit freedom, John Oliver!
I'm just so glad vital parts of piracy were saved, such as the mrgathread and core users of it's community
Close it, before they use it up and close it themselves when they want to improve shareholder relations or some nonsense.
This is so cool XD
I hope that all the major subs will also take this decision.
Aww sheet, here we go again.
Let's promote other Reddit alternatives and redirect every damn post to Lemmy's thread 😝
Why are you clickbaiting to Reddit
My only interaction with Reddit in the last week has been voting on these polls.
I want there to be a piracy sub because Nintendo sucks no one develops games for linux fsr.
I would prefer lemmy, you are free from all the reddit shenanigans, plus if there's any problems we could make our own server and still stay here, much more reasonable
