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

    /r/Piracy and /r/FMHY were one of my favorite communities of Reddit, I’m so glad they are here in Lemmy!

    Hello everyone! This is my first Lemmy post. :)

    I 100% support a permanent shutdown of r/Piracy, but at the same time, I think it would be very useful if the contents of r/Piracy were made available elsewhere for archival purposes. Could the sub be temporarily reopened in read-only mode to allow for it to be scraped? Or is it already available somewhere?

        Yes, only for the purposes of archival and so people who aren’t aware of /r/piracy being reborn like a phoenix on lemmy can find us. But, never unrestricted.

        We’ll probably need more than one day if the archive includes all of the threads (which also include a lot of good information) and not just the wiki. There is this Reddit importer that can take post and comment data scraped from the Reddit API and import it into Lemmy, but because of the volume of data, it will take a while before the scraping is complete by July 1st.

          I’m not going to re-import /r/piracy into lemmy. I am probably going to put /r/piracy into restricted mode eventually

    I’m here for this, and appreciate the r sub making a stand.

    I do hope the wiki can be set up here. I’m an old woman and I need a lot of support whilst sailing the high seas.

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

    I support an indefinite blackout. Pirates are tech-savvy enough to make the Fediverse into a proper new home for themselves. Edit: pressed enter too soon.

      Yes, piracy forced me to keep adapting to new stuff whether I wanted to or not. We are made for this.

      Sync for Reddit is thinking of working on Lemmy support. If the big apps move to Lemmy, it could push a lot of traffic to it and keep the exodus going. Encourage it on syncs GitHub and discord server.

      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

    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.

    With that said i support the movement. The biggest loss is the institutional knowledge since we can’t just search for an old post

    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.

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

      I feel like it’s going to take a while, but as niche subs migrate, hopefully we’ll see more content. That’s the biggest thing we’re really lacking is user content.
