The Reddit was my go to. The place for advice. I learned a lot there.

But now, it's all John Oliver.

Usually I wouldn't complain about John Oliver. But this shit is getting ANNOYING. I WANNA LEARN ABOUT PIRACY GODDAMNIT. If a good service is shut down, I wouldn't be able to hear about it if it wasn't for you guys. If a website had a virus problem. If I was having trouble. Thank whoever made this website and this community. You're our only hope.

Getting people off of reddit and onto Fediverse is the point of those protests with John Oliver. So, they worked. Welcome! This is actually the official /r/piracy replacement!

you are getting things wrong. Making Reddit r/piracy annoing was by design. r/Piracy is now HERE

The John Oliver memes and getting you off the sub to here, was the idea you know.

I'm pretty sure making the Reddit sub useless was specifically to push people here so

This shit ass, tried to post this comment don't even know if it posted "timeout" on a 900 mbps connection.

I'm glad you found your way here but FFS stop whining about John Oliver! Reddit mods are doing this for the greater good, the same reason why many of us are pirates, GREEDY CORPORATIONS.

People like you are the reason why Reddit will eventually win, grow up.

It’s incredibly childish to asume a bunch of John Oliver memes are going to make Reddit "lose". They’ll "win" no matter what.

Once people start getting tired of the John Oliver meme, they’ll either just stop and leave Reddit, or continue to use it normally. Mark my words: in 2 months, go and click the profiles of everyone memeing around with the Oliver stuff, and most of them will have normal activity on Reddit as if nothing had happened. And subs that continue with the memes are just going to be abandoned while replacement subs will surface and get bigger than the originals.

The only way Reddit is going to feel a hit is if hundreds of thousands people edit their entire comment and post history, delete their accounts, and never visit the site again. But then again, Facebook had a much, MUCH worse situation and they’re still fine.

Is there a good substitute for /r/trackers? That was the only place I had to discuss when one of them disappears overnight.

Gods had nothing to do with it. Thank DbZer0 instead. :)
