If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…

      I always liked this one from Peter Pan:

      Ohhhh! A pirate’s life is a wonderful life

      A-rovin’ over the sea

      Give me a career as a buccaneer

      As the life of a pirate for me

      Ohhhh! The life of a pirate for me

      Ohhhh! A pirate’s life is a wonderful life

      They never bury your bones

      For when it’s all over, a jolly sea rover

      Drops in on his friend Davy Jones

      Ohhhh! His very good friend Davy Jones

      Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life

      You’ll find adventure and sport

      But live every minute for all that is in it

      The life of a pirate is short

      Ohh, the life of a pirate is short

      Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life

      Without a care to behold

      You carry a gun and a jug of rum

      And your pockets are loaded with gold

      Oh! Your pockets are loaded with gold

      Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life

      “But not forever,” they say

      When your neck’s in a noose and you can’t get loose

      For the life of a pirate you’ll pay

      Ohh, the life of a pirate you’ll pay

      Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life

      Without a care to behold

      You dig for pleasure to find some treasure

      Your pockets are loaded with gold

      Oh! Your pockets are loaded with gold

      Not even then.

      For me the Lemmyverse fills the same space. Like Usenet back in the Before Time. Even if Reddit were to do a complete 180/mea culpa I would no longer have a need for them, and the longer it goes on the more users will be comfortable here.

        Agreed, it seems like if Lemmy improved their mod tools this will be even better than reddit. I was starting to feel doom whenever going on reddit and lemmy and the fediverse feels more like the community I wanted reddit to be.

          Would be cool if we could get a decent app for Android too but TBH I’m not complaining.

          Honestly, opportunity abounds. During great change is when money is made. Someone could easily make a quality app, put it on the stores for $1 or $2 to support their work, and it would be worth it.

    Agreed. We’re here. No need to go back to Reddit anytime soon. Or ever if the enshitification continues.

    I mean blacking out forever should be what r/piracy is doing. If r/piracy reopens, then the admins are more incentivised to ban it, whereas if it remains private, we can still have the description up to redirect visitors to this lemmy, and since the subreddit is private, admins couldn’t care less about it since there is no legitimate DMCA claims for a privated subreddit. They might still eventually ban it, but being private will put the act of banning r/piracy into a lower priority, so the lemmy redirect lasts longer.

        Interesting point, but I don’t they admins care about rules anymore. They just do whatever they feel like. Sure they can give it to someone else, then what? Change the description to “Piracy is Bad”? Thats the same as getting banned. The way I see it, r/piracy is getting banned sooner or later, but privating it will make us less of a priority to admins and its giving us more time to recuit people.

    Sounds good to me. The people participating in piracy are the type to quickly adapt to changing technology. Let’s embrace this opportunity.

    Well, I hope this means that all those who followed this subreddit will come over here because, in the end, if Lemmy provides enough content to be a Reddit successor, it will succeed but, if it becomes a mere shadow of what was available there, it’ll fade away just like some of the “Twitter replacement” platforms have.
