    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!

        True, I actually got dinged a lot 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 again 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.

        Yes, I mean there will be limits and our admins named some but overall it seems way more free.

        Likely because it’s federated instances and each specialises in something.

      I’ve seen former thedonald mods trying to get their hands on major subs from the admins.

      Would take an interesting turn of events if people would get the sub in legal trouble, after Reddit itself essentially enforced the opening

      Time to do what /r/steam and /r/pics are doing. Change rules and only talk about actual Naval piracy!
