Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins.

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

sol87,

“In analyzing the availability of the immunity offered by Section 230, courts generally apply a three-prong test. A defendant must satisfy each of the three prongs to gain the benefit of the immunity:

  1. The defendant must be a “provider or user” of an “interactive computer service”.
  2. The cause of action asserted by the plaintiff must treat the defendant as the “publisher or speaker” of the harmful information at issue.

3. The information must be “provided by another information content provider”, i.e., the defendant must not be the “information content provider” of the harmful information at issue.”

If Reddit the company is now picking and choosing who approves or blocks harmful information, are they an information content provider now? Are they liable if their chosen mods allow harmful content?

CorncobTV,

Lemmy it is, then.

dogmuffins,

This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying "I have to bend over for the admins because if I don't they'll find someone else who will".

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don't have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit's not about to die but it's best days are in the past. I wouldn't want to be a part of the future of reddit.

bankimu,

This is gold 😂

deathmetal,

They have done this for years, unfortunately. Admins are the weak spot in Reddit, not the jannies (ironically). My sympathies!

Viper_NZ,

Reopen with the new rules: All posts must relate to the golden age of piracy!

bankimu,

Lol but I think don't reopen; for r/piracy it looks way better if the Pigboy CEO forces it to reopen return legitimate posts IMHO

Southpawz,

Time to post pics of John Oliver

enn_nafnlaus,

O captain, my captain!

PirateForDaLolz,

"Your users rely on your community for information, support, entertainment, and finding connection with others who have similar interests."

We do indeed rely on your community for that! And we've been doing just fine without Reddit. :)

Mastersord,

So Reddit is forcing open a piracy sub. I wonder how potential investors would feel about that?

d_bradr,

We'll build a better ship with a sturdier ram, 32 pounder cannons and free wenches and rum! Dbzer0 for captain, 2023

Che_Donkey,

Im here for the plexable wenches & torrents of rum!

jugalator,

LMAO and these guys wanting to reopen /r/piracy are awaiting IPO. Any investor not seeing the issues at hand here deserve all the misfortune they'll get.

atlasraven31,

Arrgh, if it be mutiny then we stand by ye captain. Unfurl the sails and man the cannons ye land'lubbers.

FujiTive,

This is fucking unbelievable

edgerunnergit,

Welp! I'm glad I made the switch to Lemmy at least.

razor_1911,

Aye. Good to have a new home in case the old one burns down

Charcoal8645,

You and me both. Im still heaving a little trouble figuring out all the fediverse, but it will definitely be better than reddit

weirdwriter,

@Charcoal8645 @edgerunnergit Basically, the Fediverse is a universe of tech designed to talk and interact with each other. For example, I can interact with you even though I don't have a Lemmy account, and it works the other way too. ActivityPub connects all of us. I'm also sure interopability will strengthen as these services grow. It isn't just Mastodon focus migrations happening and this is really great!

milahu,

This episode as a whole is a great illustration of the danger of allowing a private business to run one of the biggest spaces for community and discourse in the world.

activitypub instances can decide to block other instances like gab.com.

user accounts are bound to instances = vendor lockin.

etc...

a more decentralized protcol is nostr, see also https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/136090

Swallowtail,

Yeah, even if they backtrack on all of this shit, I am done with them. This episode as a whole is a great illustration of the danger of allowing a private business to run one of the biggest spaces for community and discourse in the world.

AlexTheLost,

Same here, no matter what they do now they've made it extremely clear what they think about their users, even if something happened tomorrow and the fediverse somehow went down (which would be a feat unto itself) I'm never touching reddit again
