I've been hoping someone would create a lemmy browser extension similiar to this extension that exists for mastodon: https://github.com/lartsch/FediAct
The one for chrome might be a little buggy as it's an older version, but should update soon. I also recommend using it only on sites where you expect to see the links as it might slow down very big websites.
Do you have any plans to rally the community of r/piracy to come over as an act of rebellion, to raise down the former r/piracy subreddit in a flood of comments and bots in a show of protests - or tis the act done? Onward and upward from here, no looking back.
For sure. They just banned /NewYuzuPriacy 3 days ago for example.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that they sent an automated message to all the private subs over a certain threshold. And it looks like some scab submod decided to mutiny and take the sub.
Well considering it should be really difficult to mod in coming days, make accounts and spam the sub sending people over seems to be the best way to counter this move. Make it hurt knowing that subreddit took away the tools Mods need to moderate effectively.
I read r/piracys statement on reddit and was impresed.
It seems to me that most mods and users of many of the largest subreddits (and many small) are willing to fight hard and long to usurp Lord King Spez and that there is alot of coordination taking place amongst mods. Do you share this view.ä?
It seems to me in that many subreddits and users will have to move in the end. Agree? And it might be a good thing that not all users follow (reddit has been getting worse the last 5 years)?
What is one thing lemmy or kbin should improve on asap?
Piracy sub is a bit different than the other subs. You can argue either way opening or closing the sub is a way to protest reddit. Closing would reduce traffic and thus ad-revenue, so that can be a way to protest, or you can Open it and make an announcement telling users to use adblockers (which you should already be doing anyway, being a pirate and all) and cease moderation, posting obvious copyright infringement content to lower reddit's value in the IPO. Either way can be seen as a form of protest. I wonder if the new top mod is actually pulling a "pro gamer" move here and is actually doing a malice compliance.
What's really odd about this is that just yesterday they were banning NewYuzuPiracy and then they turned around and force a piracy sub-open. Nintendo might feel this is a slap at them because they said they'd help us and then opened the largest piracy sub back up.
r/pics was forced to reopen but they complied maliciously by limiting themselves to pics of John Oliver. If there are any sympathetic mods left, maybe r/piracy could be limited to pictures of pirates? I deleted both of my reddit accounts so I wouldn't be able to vote if there was a poll.
I'm still on reddit due to following subs that has very little chance to move here. If there are any hilarious poll like the one on r/pics, I will gladly help to make the result as hilarious as possible.. lol..
Still definitely okay for some people to take a bit longer to get moved over. Not everyone is as crazy as us deleting their accounts too. There's going to be some overlap for some time, we've just got to be the change in the community we want to see and give people a reason to make the switch!
It is the nature of content and users that made it unlikely to move here. Not that I want that community moved here anyway. Thanks for the advice btw.. :)
