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.
I say transfer as much as you can over here, then nuke the sub completely. The source of knowledge are mostly here now and everything else can be rebuild. We are pirates, we don’t yield easily and can survive anywhere.
Mods can’t nuke the sub, the only thing anyone can do is delete their own user content. However, even then reddit can probably restore it.
I figured. If websites like unddit, ceddit, removeddit etc was able to recover deleted posts and comments, I’m sure the admins can do so too.
But we’re also a crafty bunch. There must be a way to destroy the sub where reddit can’t restore it properly. Like how a user can mass edit their own comments/posts before deleting them, so when reddit restore them back they would only show the edits instead of the originals. Basically use reddit’s own feature against them if we can.
Even small thing like getting rid of the megathread and wiki would discourage people to go into the sub. It’s information that people after, if we get rid of those then there’s no point in going anymore. Slower death and a little anticlimactic that way though.
As far as I know, they only store the last version on the live system. So if you just overwrite it with gibberish and then or don’t delete it, only the backups will have your true comments.
Archive and delete is the only language those scurvy dogs speak.
They will simply restore the content.
Users have reported they are restoring comments they deleted using Power Delete Suite.
They could undo that as well. My current plan is to get all my data via GDPR request, host it on my server so that my useful posts and comments don’t get lost forever and then order them to delete all my stuff via a GDPR request.
Well I guess its time to flood r/piracy with magnet links as soon as the new jannies open it.
This could not be any funnier. Please reddit, take legal control of the piracy subreddit, right as you take the experienced mod team out. I’m sure everything will go fantastic.
First post on Lemmy thanks to this shit! Struggling to understand how a lot of it works still, but absolutely fuck this nonsense from Reddit
