Reddit - The heart of the internet
www.reddit.com

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

    Most hobby reddit communities have an associated discord, there isn’t much effort needed at all. And again, reddit is objectively worse right now. If you’re willing to stay there and put up with it, what’s a few clicks to go to a slightly less shitty one that can more easily migrate to something like Revolt? Chances are you already have a discord account. You know how trivially easy it is to join a server.

    Or fire up a community here. Get some users off reddit and get it started. I’m sure someone will gladly take up the mantle.

      Because “slightly less shitty” isn’t as attractive of a moniker to me as it seems to be to you when it comes to deciding which platform to switch off to.

      And a subreddit having a Discord doesn’t really guarantee much aside from having the same mods in charge. The userbase is invariably going to be different and may not have the same “vibe” as the subreddit. It’s not really as simple as you’re trying to make it out, which makes the idea of jumping off one shitty corporatized platform to another extremely unappealing.

      I also don’t use social media enough or have enough free time to bother attempting to form and moderate my own community, so as much as I dislike Reddit I’m content just waiting it out for something that isn’t just another lame Discord server to pop-up here or elsewhere.

      E: correcting autocorrect

          What did I apparently selectively read? I’m fairly sure I addressed most of what you said in the previous comment, but I’m on mobile so feel free to point out what I missed.

            For starters, I said grab some folks to start one and that one of them will likely gladly take the reins.

              I addressed that directly in my last paragraph. It seems you are the one doing the selective reading here…

                You said you don’t want to moderate. I’m saying you don’t have to. If you can’t even get off your ass to spend a few minutes finding someone who’s interested in starting another community, then how much does this really matter to you? You want the problem to be solved but you don’t want to lift a finger to solve it. Frankly it’s lazy and entitled. I gave you one of the easiest temporary solutions (discord) and you complained about it. It’s all “no no no.”

                Make one post. A few sentences saying that y’all should probably start a parallel community on Lemmy or some other site. It’s not hard.

                You aren’t trapped on Reddit yet you basically insist you are.

                  You’re putting a lot of words in my mouth. All I ever said was that Discord is a poor replacement and I’m reasonably content to stick with Reddit until something substantial forms here or somewhere besides Discord. I’m not obligated to form a community and just because you call me lazy and sling insults at me for that choice doesn’t really change my mind on the matter, it just makes you look childish.

                  You’re the one getting worked up, and simply for my refuting Discord as a good replacement.

                  Grow up.

                    Enjoy being the little dopamine junkie spez counts on for his bottom line! If I’m wrong then hey, it shouldn’t bother you anyway. I’m just a stranger on the Internet, what do you care?

                    Have a good one 👍 Last word is all yours
