I posted an updated guide on r/Adobe Zii a bit ago. It got taken down last week and I re-posted it here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/43935446 Super grateful that this community exists. I posted to r/Adobe Zii that my guide was taken down and warning that it looks like reddit is cracking down on piracy (I am guessing an Adobe spokesperson is abusing reddit’s copyright reporting system). Now today reddit emails me saying that I received another copyright warning for posting that my other post was removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeZii/comments/1kioy3i/reddit_took_down_my_adobe_zii_guide/
I decide hey lets try and appeal as there was not any copyrighted material in my post about my guide being removed. Turns out they want my full name, address, and other identifying info to send to the copyright complainant. Not doing that.
Just disappointed as I’ve actively used reddit for years and love all the communities on this place. Seems like its slowly going down hill. Guess I should have seen that coming with the whole API shenanigans last year.
TL;DR reddit sucks and it does not appear any way to appeal without giving Adobe my info
Nah just bring your posts here! Quit adding to that dumpster fire. The love and piracy is strong here.
This is the way, use reddit for info but never feed the parasite any content.
All content should be posted on fedi to seed the future of social media imho
Fuck Reddit. It’s only going to get worse.
Haven’t been back since the API and third party app thing, and it’s amazing how much crap I was scrolling through just because it was there. Lemmy’s been great. It was really slow in the beginning, two years ago, but it continues to get progressively better. Love to see it.
Fuck spez.
I dont get why people visit it anymore. The censorship, gatekeeping and botposting is just absolutely bonkers.
Like okay, maybe if you only watch memes and cat pictures I can kinda understand. But every single sub I’ve been in had an idiotic amount of gatekeeping. Just mentioning grapheneos in some subs could get you banned. Just mentioning luigi mangione could get you banned. Oh your post is falsely flagged as inappropriate? Banned, and good luck trying to appeal.
It’s become an absolute dystopian shithole. Lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if the host of your instance goes insane you can leave for another. And if you don’t like what you see you can choose to block it.
…Then stop posting on Reddit? I thought the whole point of us moving here was to get out of the control of Reddit and their shareholders/corporate overlords
Lemmy is the safe island everyone on Reddit knows they can go if it gets entirely unusable.
But, Lemmy is extremely political with fuckall else outside of reposted memes and selfhosting nerds, so we don’t really fit the bill for Reddit’s normies until they’re all ready to come aboard, not that they ever will.
Skill issue.
And yet, post the information on Lemmy anyway. The normies will either find it when someone on Reddit comments that they saw it on Lemmy (“talking about X” is not copyrightable), or they’ll find it on Google when it starts indexing Lemmy.

Excuse me we have original memes here! Also cat pictures.
True, I don’t think a lot of people I interact with on Reddit will ever move to Lemmy.
But I guess it’s okay, because I am getting the stuff which Reddit won’t allow so it would be like a cool shadow community.By the way, how do you think censorship work on Lemmy? I don’t have any idea if they can block stuff, like a lot of users are on Lemm.me or Lemmy.world so there mods can control a lot of posts I guess
Servers can censors you which but generally clown mods in big communities do it.
It doesn’t really matter since getting banned by some shiti community for content censorship, just move to another place community.
This is the key benefit of federation, no single actor can cut another person from expressing itself on fedi, just their little fiefdom
Feels like a trap. “Yes, please voluntarily offer your personal information to our legal department.”
Ikr! That is what my thought was. I always prefer to be anonymous online and giving them all my personal info seems like a very bad idea.
When Reddit went public it was scooped up by hedgies and other nefarious actors. Slowly but surely it is changing for the worse. I just got booted from Reddit on a 9 year account (as an added bonus they nuked my other 2 accounts as well even though no posts near time of nukage) for pretty tame (compared to other stuff I have seen) stuff. I predict that Reddit will be indistinguishable from truth social within 5 years or less.
I (15 year old account) got banned not too long ago for replying to a person using information publicly listed in their reddit profile. Rule 3, aka doxxing. Idk, seemed overkill to me, what else is the point of sharing anything in ones profile if mentioning it is bannable.
I experienced similar as a paying customer there.
In today’s economy paying that does NOT mean shit, it ain’t like you get any rights… Really paying is a mark of a being a sucker in a parasite’s eyes.
I still can’t tell how we ended up here but I am guessing they dont care for the customer, just for its data.
You guys post on Reddit?
All piracy, hacking and cracking communities should be on Lemmy. All NSFW communities should move to LemmyNSFW. Investors won’t be happy until that site is scrubbed clean.
Slowly going downhill?
I think it’s in freefall (but what would I know I don’t go there anymore)
Oh well
Reddit gets worse every day.
You’ve found the right place. Welcome.
Don’t worry, you can use mine

Wow, I didn’t know lemmy knew how to censor addresses like that, cool feature.
that’s your server specific i am pretty sure. i see the meme address
Thank you for posting here. :)
Are you going to actually tell us what they took down or just give links to a cesspool?

- Post 2: Unfortunately I did not save a copy of this post. The essence of it was a post saying that reddit took down my Adobe Zii guide and that I will be moving to lemmy. I also included the email that the reddit team sent me. It is very similar to this post I sent to r/piracy ➜ https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1kiyaxq/received_copyright_warning_for_adobe_zii_guide/
Not surprising. I almost didn’t learn anything new about piracy from it anymore.
