Hey y’all, In the past I had arranged that /f/piracy in raddle.me would be the fallback forum for /r/piracy, but I recently noticed that raddle.me has disabled new user registrations and that would be a problem in case we need it.
And with reddit about to go public, it might be needed.
Instead of trying to spin up my own lemmy instance, I was thinking if I could get a mod position in this forum and specify it as the official /r/piracy fallback instead.
Feel free to PM me in reddit for verification.
Lemmy is the place you’d want to move people to in case of a greater calamity as federated Lemmy is by nature more community controlled than Reddit or any centralized alternative could literally ever be.
There’s other alternatives, like Aether or my own lemmy instance. But I tend to try the path of least resistance first.
Aether is fine but development is pretty dead compared to lemmy and it’s fucking Electron.
yeah lemmy is much better than Aether right now
Also I’m not completely sure their democratic/reputation system actually works in practice, since it has never been enabled.
