Hey y’all, In the past I had arranged that /f/piracy in raddle.me would be the fallback forum for /r/piracy, but I recently noticed that raddle.me has disabled new user registrations and that would be a problem in case we need it.

And with reddit about to go public, it might be needed.

Instead of trying to spin up my own lemmy instance, I was thinking if I could get a mod position in this forum and specify it as the official /r/piracy fallback instead.

Feel free to PM me in reddit for verification.

    The present mods responsibility is to serve the interests of the present subscribers.

    I disagree, mods in general are dooing free labour for the benefit of the community.

    The mod of r/piracy (one of the best resources for pirated content I have found) thinks having a backup on Lemmy would help the community. So maybe we should support this instead of saying it’s not their responsibility lol

      That’s my point though. “The community” in this case is not reddit users, but lemmy users. As I said, it’s really a question of whether existing users in this sub want it to be a mirror of reddit’s sub.
