Moderation team being forced to moderate against their will? Would be a shame if people started posting site rule breaking content over there
Now theres an idea
Do you think that sort of engagement isn't exactly what reddit is trying to encourage lol
oh yeah, reddit is going to love getting all those DMCA's. I should post a nintendo ROM repository!
How does one force unpaid jannies to keep working for free? Asking for a friend.
Reddit staff wants to bring down stuff like piracy subs, they want you to break the rules en masse so they can shut it down. Sure we can say "oh boo hoo we have Lemmy" but how many people don't? How many people won't bother with Lemmy? How many don't know about it? How many people will DL from Steamunlocked? How many will torrent from the Bay using Bitlord? The Megatgread is still crucial info that needs to be accessible to as many people as possible
If you read the Megathread piracy will be second nature but if you don't and then get malware after malware, at some point you'll say "fuck it" and stop, which will deter a lot of people
Lemmy has the megathread and the rest can stay there at their own risk.
Sorry, I thought having more potential seeders (of good torrents) would be better than having less potential seeders. Maybe I was wrong in wanting information to be widely accessible
The path to the Megathread will always be available wherever it goes, but people need to act. Reddit is no longer safe to be a pirate in entrapment or otherwise (might be negligence). If you keep complaining and perpetuating the status quo then you can be dead sure the information will never move off Reddit, where you can give these snarky neckbeard responses instead of quality answers.
And then your obscure torrents will be more likely to have 0 seeders
