Can you give an example of such a community?
- verylittlemeat 6y agoThe highest profile one is /r/piracy. The illegal sharing part of the subreddit spawned a forum for good general piracy discussion. It was at serious risk of being deleted and had to go to extreme lengths to preserve the community that formed around the actual illegal sharing part. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qvygwq/reddits-piracy-subreddit-is-purging-a-decade-of-posts https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qvygwq/reddits-piracy-sub... /r/datahoarders and /r/opendirectories are a couple other I personally have seen similar things happen. In my opinion they're a couple of the greatest subreddits out there so the fact that they could be banned out of nowhere on a technicality is a little concerning.
- ptd 6y agoInteresting. Thanks for sharing. I suppose these are the results of the gap between technology and legislation.
- verylittlemeat 6y agoThere are similar adjacent problems with discord and violation of the terms of service. Luckily most of these groups are tech savvy enough to run their own IRC servers.
- ethanwillis 6y agoI can give you another one. Reddit banned /r/Holodomor https://www.reddit.com/r/reclassified/comments/bedmbv/rholodomor_quarantined/ https://www.reddit.com/r/reclassified/comments/bedmbv/rholod...
