Which Megathread should we use (lemmy.world)

As of today I've noticed a few posts on the old Piracy sub talking about the megathread being replaced. I'm aware of the recent mod team changes

The general changes seem to be that someone had write access to the megathread and changed it to talk poorly about the new mod team (of the old sub) though personally I can't see any such messages on the usual megathread

I know we're not really meant to bring up the old sub however I'm unsure if the megathread changes are something we also need to implement here or if this is more just mod drama?

My main question is

Did the original megathread actually get changed to talk badly about the mod team
Which Megathread should we be using from now on?

Edit: The new pinned megathread on r/Piracy that was discussing this change has now been removed just to add to the confusion

I personally only trust the one on here. As the person here was the previous mod of the subreddit there.

Reputation means everything. That said, always be skeptical and cautious with pirating. Even if it is from a trustable source.

Can you link me to some of those threads?

It seem the pinned thread has been removed discussing the change of megathread on r/Piracy (as far as I can see), it had a link to a new megathread, stating that a mod had write access to the previous one and had started writing comments about the new mod team (though personally I could not see any such comments in the megathread)

It might have been some kind of mistake or misunderstanding then?

I am not aware. It could be that the other mod that the top mod removed had write access? Not sure.

Always be skeptical with this kind on thing and you have nothing to worry about, the megathread is a tool but not everything on there is what I'd consider good its very hit and miss
