Smart idea, I just deleted them, I bet my oldest would have fetched a good price. Ah well.

Thank you, that is indeed helpful, didn‘t know about the search either. Still all so hard to deal with cause as soon as I tried to upvote that post I had to login again and that is pretty much how I ended up with what is by now 5 accounts.

True, I actually got dinged from automods using this word "kill" in various context for example one I remember well: "The Iranian government is killing people and wondering why they fight back?!" And DING I get whacked by the automod for using a bad word. I mean I don‘t mind moderation, but that was so weird I had to self censor myself like "The Iranian government is acting in ways that end people‘s lives and wondering why they fight back?!" to get my comment posted. What a pain. I get not advocating for violence, but the robots didn‘t check for any of that lol.

I‘m glad to have you too, the Reddit behaviour was making me nauseous and I was worried I couldn‘t find a good community to replace it. Then I discovered this instance and explored Lemmy a bit further, made some more accounts elsewhere and jumped around and it’s NICE! So excited to be here.

I have been wondering if I could use the GDPR like a bludgeon to get them to remove my shit for real, but it seems like a lot of trouble to go through when my comments were overall just random thoughts that popped into my head and nothing useful.

I would imagine too, but who knows, there is a different set of rules for companies and the rich.

Now that Reddit is asserting direct control over it, maybe they‘ll turn it into an anti-piracy sub to prevent any legal trouble.

r/piracy after the IPO: piracy is unethical as it is stealing from the poor (companies). This is a community to discuss how to stop piracy and become responsible and dutiful consumers.

They removed the mod (our admin) and are reopening it to stamp out the blackout movement. I‘m not going to go there at all, this is going to be a lobotomised version of r/piracy with some reddit employee or a spez loyalist scab at the helm—no thanks!

Haha what the fuck I really did NOT think they would do that to r/piracy of all things. Ah well fuck them and their shitty IPO. I‘m here with you guys for good, the structure of the fediverse suits our purposes and community better anyway.
