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.

reddit stunk anyway, virtually every community was inaccessible to new users and to top it, it wasn't new user friendly with all the stupid perm bans without explanations

This is pretty much how I expected it to go. All we can do now is hope whatever scabs take over are terrible at the job and the ship continues to sink.

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.

Seems like reddit openly aknowledging they have this kind of power, control, and willingness to take administrative action in a piracy sub would open them up to some DMCA issues for hosting it.

"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?

That's just crazy. I still don't fully know what's going on with reddit but from what I've heard it's just bs but I'm here for support. Happy sailing everyone!

Great thing we are hunkered down here now!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (5 children)

It looks like the sub is now in restricted mode - is that the doing of the other members of the mod team or is admin trying to control outrage?

I think making a subreddit private doesn't work, we need to fully delete them to harm reddit and those redditors who just don't care about the api.
