    if posible the whole of reddit should just limit/disable posting if possible
    and un privet the subreddits for historic reasons .

    48 hours is just not gonna make a significant effect on reddits wallet

    the strike should be atleast a few months .at this rate the protest will do fuck all

    i love lurking on reddit .but while on lemmy its not so hard to forget reddit

    I think the better move would be to unprivate r/Piracy after 48 hours, but restrict posting and leave a link to this community. I think everyone would agree we’re no r/aww or r/funny.

    The Piracy subreddit has always been a thorn in Reddit’s side, and it’s a miracle we were able to exist in the first place. It’s a very visible space on a highly public website, it’s not “underground” like most of the piracy community is. It helps people new to piracy understand the do’s and don’t’s, and the wiki helps people have a quick reference on what sites they can use without getting a virus.

      I do think the piracy sub will be one of the next targets, it’s only a matter of time. If the sub further restricted itself in anticipation and sent people here it would be able to sustain itself a lot longer.

      This is a particular topic that people will be more open to seek out and put slightly more effort for.

        Or the opposite. It would give admins a reason to ban the sub for spam / advertising of competition.

    It’s a good point, I hope alot of subreddits continue indefinitely like some have said they will. Although reddit is unlikely to change their decision, I’m happy with the result. If Lemmy stays even a fraction as active as it is now after the blackouts then Lemmy will be the better choice for me personally.

    I didn’t use Lemmy before because of how small it felt, but after the blackout every community is bursting with life and I can see Lemmy completely replacing reddit for me.

    Hopefully enough refugees feel the same :)

      I’m here for it. Used reddit since digg, saw the tide turning and I believe the same thing is happening again. As subreddits become public again with no change from spez, I have zero interest to return to Reddit. I’m here for the fediverse.

    Going un-private will allow people to discuss what kbin/lemmy instances they had migrated to during the strike

    The move to the fediverse should be permanent. We should try to move the most important stuff here

    It was a limited scale action to show the impact possible. If reddit indeed won’t move it could become indefinitely. /r/ffxiv already wanted to move it to a week or indefinitely.

      The problem with this thinking is that “limited scale” is easy to wait out. Grow some balls and make it indefinite.

    Kinda boring to unprivate the subreddit, if it stayed private longer maybe more people would switch to Lemmy - personally I’m staying with Lemmy it’s active enough to replace reddit for me; and better in every way. Social media freedom ❤️❤️
