r/Piracy: ⚓ Ahoy, Me Hearties! Is this the pirate life you imagined? In exchange for treasures, riches, & eternal renown, I guarantee you a grand …

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.

      You realise right that you can download and get to reading all of that 91 MB of text within 5 minutes on your computer? You said:

      For the vast majority of human beings alive today, they are effectively gone. They cannot be found without extraordinary, heroic efforts.

      This is simply untrue.

        This is simply untrue.

        It’s simply true. Perhaps you think you can do it, which means that everyone else can do it and easily. You are atypical.

        For everyone else, this is effectively gone. Even for the people who’d hang out in r/piracy who can be counted on to be slightly more technically savvy, it’s effectively gone. I know how to download your link (I even know how to find it without your help). I know what a 7z link is. I know or can find out what format those posts are in (json?). But I’ll be damned if I can search through them to find anything useful or interesting, and I know even less than that about how to index them to make them easily searchable by anyone else.

        They’re dead. Dead and buried. In giant concrete containment vaults like some scragged nuclear reactor.

        Aggressively asserting that I’m wrong isn’t the same thing as making an intelligent argument.

          Wait what? Are you claiming that opening HTML page for each archived post is impossible for anyone?u

          I know what a 7z link is. I know or can find out what format those posts are in (json?)

          This proves you did not even bother to download and check the file structure layout, and are making assumptions upon assumptions. Why comment without checking?

          Over reaction. A very bad take.

          You are doubling down unnecessarily and dying on the wrong hill, mate. Stop.

            No.

            I’m not “dying on a hill”. How will I be punished exactly?

              Downvotes from Lemmurs (not redditors) and disagreement? It also takes away some of your credibility in discussions here. Admitting the wrongs and acceptance goes a long way in life.

              Nobody is sending a bunch of prostitutes to your home, do not worry.
