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.

Why do they want a piracy community reopened?

[โ€“] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

It's kind of hilarious. For years the mods of /r/piracy have been walking on eggshells about what kinds of links and discussion are permitted there because they were afraid Reddit would shut them down at any moment. And now Reddit is tossing the mods that worked so hard to toe their line and forcing them open.

Yeah, that's quite confusing, you'd think they might not be exactly rushing to open one of the more legally complicated subs.

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Likely they don't. It was probably sent to all indefinite blackout subs.

It wasn't. I never got anything.

It says "some" that means "not all". I replied to a statement with "all".

So it wasn't.

Though demodding someone can't be automated I think

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

You can automate anything on your own platform.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe with reddit's internal API it's possible

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Because itโ€™s all about numbers and they donโ€™t care how they get them.
