It’s why this blackout has been a blessing, since piracy days on reddit were numbered anyways. I’m glad we got to get our community elsewhere before being randomly banned before there was an opportunity to regroup.
Have had many lost communites like megaupload back in the day that reddit killed off. With how helpful the piracy community has been with stuff like the wiki Reddit would have set their eyes on us anyways in the long run.
Archive.org probably has backed up a lot of stuff.
regardless, I’m kinda sad tho that I promised someone I’d send them a file but i procrastinated and this happened, so I can’t find the original comment anymore rip
I agree fully except with the mirror aspect. Mirroring is what tends to cause the dissolution of alternatives like Lemmy. It makes it too convenient and a target by bigger powers. It is federated but that doesn’t mean it’s invincible. It would be smart to keep it separate and try to let it become its own thing. Grassroots promotion may be the way to go. I mean, I agree, mirroring would be nice and convenient, but we have to be smart and use tact as well.
We have something wonderful here. Let’s keep it going long and strong! 😀
I hate to say this but reddit probably doesn’t care if r/piracy stays dark. We were probably one of the subs they were hoping to get rid of.
With that said i support the movement. The biggest loss is the institutional knowledge since we can’t just search for an old post
Is there a mirror of the sub? It’d be great if we could mirror the content here.

Hopefully they can find their way here.
