    I hate to say this but reddit probably doesn’t care if r/piracy stays dark. We were probably one of the subs they were hoping to get rid of.

    Is there a mirror of the sub? It’d be great if we could mirror the content here.

      It’s why this blackout has been a blessing, since piracy days on reddit were numbered anyways. I’m glad we got to get our community elsewhere before being randomly banned before there was an opportunity to regroup.

      Have had many lost communites like megaupload back in the day that reddit killed off. With how helpful the piracy community has been with stuff like the wiki Reddit would have set their eyes on us anyways in the long run.
