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.

    but that doesn’t mean that lemmy needs to mirror reddit.

    Given the trajectory of reddit over the years, it might be true that you’d all be better off if you took action to prevent it from being too similar.

    I guess the real actual question is whether lemmy.ml/f/piracy should be promoted by reddit.com/r/piracy as the sanctioned alternative.

    A more important question, I think, perhaps the only one even, is whether Lemmy is any less vulnerable to the sorts of legal attacks that make r/piracy so problematic. I suspect I know the answer to this question, and that many of the rest of you do as well… it just happens to be one that none of us like.
