Is there a list of subs that moved/duplicated the sub to Lemmy/Kbin/similar and run by the same mods?

If not, let us know in the comments!

      No, but that is not what they said, they said they were forced to reopen. That happened in such a way: they sent a message to the main mod and told him to reopen or be replaced. He didn‘t respond within an hour, so they removed him as main mod and made some other mod who was willing to play ball the main mod.

      Since there is always some sucker to be found on Reddit who enjoys taking orders and licking boots, no sub can really defend against this move by Reddit admins. Which is probably why some other mods decided to maliciously comply instead.

      Me, I think anyone with some dignity would go out like the r/piracy mod did, don‘t respond and get removed and rebuild elsewhere.

        Yeah. Also I remember when loveforlandlords went from a shitpost sub for making memes about landlords from the perspective of the landlords to a cringe sub about non-jokingly hating on landlords because some degenerate couldn’t fathom the existence of such a sub, even tho there’s a sub for serious hating on landlords already. He became the main mod, kicked everybody else and the others made loveforlandchads instead

        Just like this, Reddit kicked DB0 and he made the Lemmy server

          Interesting, but I can‘t find sympathy for landlordlovers in myself, I filtered that out immediately when I discovered it. Bad enough I have to work so much and pay almost half of my income to one who just sits around and does nothing, I don’t need to be mocked for it online too.

          Anyway, the great thing about the fediverse is you can make this community as an instance too if you need it and then other instances who dislike that can defederate and we can hopefully all live in peace and harmony (at least online).

        Yeah, pretty much. To not reopen you have to have absolute confidence that no one on the mod team will succumb to the temptation to steal ownership of the sub. The fact that some subs have fallen prey to this (like /r/piracy) is why mods have been wringing their hands and reopening subs left and right.

        Honestly this shit is early IRC drama all over again; kick all the other ops from the channel and it belongs to you, provided those people aren’t registered in the ChanServ. /u/spez is the ChanServ, and he’s letting everyone know he’s willing to look the other way.

          Imagine being so douchey that, despite relying on free content and free moderation, you still whine about not being profitable being the users’ fault and then you demand from moderators that they are basically available 24/7 to take your call. This is not just a dumpster fire, this is throwing canisters of gasoline into a dumpster fire.

      Can’t force people to use Reddit but they can make mods open subs or else they get booted and replaced by good little lap dogs. That’s why DB0 opened up on Lemmy. But I’ll never know why they force opened PIRACY lol

      Reddit can tell moderators who have locked their sub that they have a choice of opening it, or get removed as moderators and be replaced by admin appointees.

            You could also use the account to damage their value for when they go public lol; the more comments you’ve made the better. You’ll lose your account of course, so do it instead of deleting it.

            Copied from there:

            • [Choose 1/3] Open Zompist’s gen. Take off the line saying “ki|či”, and click “Generate”. You’ll get some random babble like “Bepe topioi kabi brete i kropra”, copy it somewhere.
            • [Choose 2/3] Open https://sebpearce.com/bullshit/ to get an entire bullshit article
            • [Choose 3/3] Open https://nonsense.x2d.org/ to get a bullshit sentence, i suggest getting a few ones.
            • Open your Reddit profile and drag the button of Power Delete Suite to it.
            • [Optional] Check the box saying “prepare local backup of items”, if you want to save your content elsewhere.
            • Uncheck “remove comments”. You want to replace them with babble, not remove them.
            • [Optional] uncheck “remove posts”. It depends if you post mostly self posts or if you post links/pics. Use your reasoning.
            • Check “Edit comments / self posts”. It should open an input box for text; place the babble from Zompist’s gen there. Then click “process”.
            • Just wait!
            • [Optional] Click to download the backup of the items.

            You could also redirect lemmy over here when you get the chance, and go upvote when other people do the same

            At least for the time being, this is what I’m doing
