    T’was a bad day when our old ship sank to Davy Jones’ locker.

    But it brought us together here, so welcome aboard. This ship should hopefully never sank.

      What Odin said to Thor. Asgard is not a place, never was, never will be. It is the people.

      I’d known about the fediverse for a while but the final push I needed to move was the reddit API stuff. Now apparently something’s happened to the old vessel as well, so I’m doubly glad to be here.

      If I can ask, what exactly happened? Did reddit finally take it down or maybe infiltrate it with its own mods, as I’ve heard they might be doing?

        To be fair, even if reddit does nothing to r/piracy, we’re still better off moving ship. Our reddit community is already dangling on the edge with serious threat of being banned anyway.

        It’s worth building this community here just to mitigate the risk

          Oh, I fully agree. I’m here not just for this community but for the whole fediverse shtick too. And if this move gets more pirates who came here only for this community into fediverse/privacy stuff in general, even better! I’m really hoping that will happen, but can’t be too optimistic I guess :)

          And you’re right about the risk to the original sub. When you think about it, it’s kind of amazing that /r/piracy has survived so long, since reddit isn’t known to be very conservative in using the banhammer.
