r/Piracy probably needs a rethink (lemmy.world)

I'm sure everyone lately has noticed there's a tonne of hate on the privacy subreddit, with every new post/comment there getting more and more aggresive than the last

I personally am loving the Lemmy community but I feel as though keeping the piracy subreddit in it's current state is making users of it quite hostile to change since they believe they are being forced to move

This will honestly make them refuse to ever use Kbin/Lemmy since in their eyes it's the moderators and users here that have killed r/Piracy (obviously wrong of the stick it's Reddit that's killing it's own communities with it's policies)

So I guess it's a question of should we as a community hand over the subreddit to a new moderation team or some other change since I don't feel like it's doing us any favours

Hoping to use this post as a sort of discussion about people's opinions

Fuck doing this any easier to reddit. I'm of the mind to just remove all mods, set the community to restricted and if reddit wants to re-open it, they can find new mods themselves.

Unfortunately a few of the existing mods want to continue with reddit only and I'm not top mod anymore, so...

People are so brain dead that they think the only place to get answers on piracy is reddit. Even 4chan is better if they can't be bothered to come here or raddle or any piracy forums that exist outside of reddit if they are left that clueless.

Should nuke the stuff on reddit, and give it back to them to figure it all out for themselves. They can have their sub if they want to talk piracy on reddit that much. Probably go about recommending piratebay to each other to download software and games.

That should be the way for every sub really. Just wipe and leave it unmoderated and tell the people who are whining to go mod it themselves now that it's back open.

Even 4chan is better

RIP Trove.

I disagree on nuking it. Its still user generated content and isn't up to the mods to decide what happens to all of that. We just need to grow this community so that this is the real source for piracy related information.

honestly this seems like an better choice
