    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!

        Well said, 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.

        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
