POLL: Decide on the future of /r/Piracy!
Hello pirates! [We are currently in restricted mode and plan on reopening r/Piracy...
There's only one choice here...
Aw yiss. You know what's cookin'?
John Oliver so sexy you don't even have to ask the AI to make him so ...
Fucking hell that T shirt with Abs lol overall it looks pretty awesome but also comical.
is this stable diffusion ? and if yes which model?
Yes and Deliberate, but I'm using Loras as well
Let Reddit die, they've monetized our content and then spit at our faces, especially at the mods.
Please create a decentralized harbor to share piracy related content. Dont visit this site again.
Since the blackout, I've only visited Reddit to rip off content for my own Lemmy community, and to vote in this poll lol
I love the Malicious Compliance from the moderators lately, and the fact John Oliver is just becoming the ultimate meme symbol for the movement and protest.
Just close the sub and make it full link through to this page. 1 link, explain why you've closed and link this Lemmy. Cut your losses & gtfo
That won't work. That's what we originally did and they demodded me to reopen it
What about turning piracy into a porn sub only allowing submissions of pirate themed porn. Seems like the best malicious compliance with how advertisers don't really like to be associated with porn.
keep it open, add automod(if those will even be possible) explaining the situation in every post linking alternatives.
I vote for our Lord John Oliver
Instead of John Oliver, every post must include a link to this site (lemmy).
ooh like that idea!!
I'm done with Reddit. This latest debacle prompted me to look into Reddit's history, had no idea before. What an awful company. Also a community not subject to corporate interest is better for everyone. Anyway, I'm not going back there so if the sub gets closed down, no skin off my nose. Yeah do what you will.
Same here Lemmy has been more than enough for me, a little harder to search but the curated feeds are perfect
Allow direct links to pirated content. If they ban you, then so be it.
In case you don't know how to find some relevant pictures to post, have I got just the tool for you!
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/56846
Simply talk to my mastodon bot like this, or my reddit bot like this (You can summon the reddit bot from anywhere in reddit btw)
Alternatively, just use a dedicated client like Lucid Creations or ArtBot and make up your own style
Question: Would sexy pirate pictures of his fursona, John Ottiver, count?
of course!
That sentence is cursed.
Thank you. :)
There's only one choice here...
Open it up and allow only sexy pirate pics?
Or dedicate the subreddit to a resource for pirat-related stuff i.e. pirate ships, cannons and all that 15th century pirate culture. Like taking the name litarally.
That would still have actual appeal
Not that sexy pirate John Oliver doesn't 🤤
Incredible to see so many Huffman's simps in the comments, no wonder why the blackouts weren't that effective
It just means most of the people with principles have already moved here, or that reddit is engaging in disgusting levels of astroturfing. The latest Announcement is even worse. Regardless, it's just ruined.
Pirates crying and simping for reddit are truly the dumbest thinking piracy dedicated communities have a future on a company trying to artificially inflate their value so they can sell it off to other investors. Probably don't even use any sort of adblock.
I guess it's for the best that those astroturfing people stay on Reddit while we can enjoy the Lemmy-verse.
I have already created some ai images and they are so silly. I can't wait.
I started generating them after I first read about r/pics. Turns out NovelAI is really good at making John Oliver images.
Would be funny to only allow pictures of John Oliver wearing an eyepatch; so as to not give admins the excuse that the name is unrelated or something.
Then a link to this lemmy comm for 'discussion' around actual online piracy on the sidebar or a pinned post; this is our main hub now after all.
A subreddit poll like what r/pics and r/aww would be great, because then you're just doing what the community wants.
Who tf wants discussion about digital piracy on Reddit? Sexy pirate John Oliver pictures is way better
Exactly. Imagine not respecting others' copyrights, I would never damage reddit's reputation by doing such a thing there!
I don't get the reasoning behind the poll. If the admins don't allow to shut r/piracy down then just post links to pirated material. It's closed.
Wasn't this sub in danger of being closed a few years ago? So let them.
John Oliver becoming to redditors what Adam Driver is to John Oliver and I'm here for it
Yarr harr! All hail the swashbuckling matey of Reddit freedom, John Oliver!
Wow, that was my first time back on reddit since all this happened, and even though it was for good, I still feel a bit... unclean. Like I helped them out by sending traffic their way
I deleted my accounts and refuse to click Reddit links, so I can‘t vote or even see it, but I hope whatever option is most annoying to the admins wins.
Options are:
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to allow sexy pirate John Oliver posts only at reopening.
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to return to normal operations at reopening.
Scores are hidden, so there's no way to see which is winning yet. However, every sub that's done something similar so far has come out John Oliver themed.
Well Option 2 is a stinker, easy choice for anyone who isn‘t a spez sockpuppet.
I’m just looking forward to the funny John Oliver edits hitting lemmy and maybe an episode on enshittification of corporate social media.
My only interaction with Reddit in the last week has been voting on these polls.
Same, except I've also been commenting to spread awareness about lemmy and the fediverse.
I'm disappointed they're just doing the John Oliver thing again instead of something more unique like making the sub about literal high seas piracy.
I think it should be literal piracy themed porn, since advertisers don't really like to be associated with porn. Every sub should be moving the shift to becoming porn.
Doing something unique is too engaging.
The entire point is making the site boring and useless so people move
@AtomicPurple @db0 Now that /r/piracy is officially endorsed by Reddit staff I reckon they should allow direct links to copyright-infringing content. Disney's lawyers would get a good payout from Reddit.
Glad to see there wasn't a hostile takeover of the sub. +1 for the Lemmy link.
Close it, before they use it up and close it themselves when they want to improve shareholder relations or some nonsense.
Mmm we need more John Oliver pics
I'm just so glad vital parts of piracy were saved, such as the mrgathread and core users of it's community
Let's promote other Reddit alternatives and redirect every damn post to Lemmy's thread 😝
Aww sheet, here we go again.
This is so cool XD
I hope that all the major subs will also take this decision.
I would prefer lemmy, you are free from all the reddit shenanigans, plus if there's any problems we could make our own server and still stay here, much more reasonable
Yea, I'm gonna stay on Lemmy. It's not as engaging, but that's a good thing - less time spent on social media is always better.
I think it would be more funny to post only Lemmy Kilmister pictures.
I am having fun with the John Oliver stuff but now that you mention it… the protest pictures should be pictures of Lemmy Kilmister with a bin, with a K on it. Huge missed opportunity.
Admins could rig this pretty easily.
I feel like they will ban it anyways before their IPO along with any other communities they deem "controversial"
When is their IPO? I'd like to buy puts and make a killing.
I hope wallstreetbets joins and instead of helping Gamestop, they help fuck up Reddit
Here's a few I made with Stable Diffusion
Prompt: sexy pose, John Oliver as a pirate
Negative prompt: penis
Model: Virile Fusion
I can make more if people want, potentially full-on pornographic, but, uh, I'm not sure that's a good idea without his say so!
Oh dear, for my own entertainment I tried "John Oliver as a pirate, fucking a hot twink", and got... John Oliver as a hot twink fucking John Oliver as a hot twink, or in one case, connected at the penis to same!
@ReCursing @db0 i'm just gonna assume Virile Fusion is an image AI trained on porn.
DeepCreamPy still holds the record for best name, though.
What happened?
make it a rule that each post must have a lemmy link kekw
Why are you clickbaiting to Reddit
I want there to be a piracy sub because Nintendo sucks no one develops games for linux fsr.
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected].
I also think this comm is getting bigger fast enough that it's enough of a substitute for the subreddit already.
