Be careful with the backups though, there’s a good chance you have 2FA enabled on your Google drive
So basically if you lose your phone you can’t access your 2FA app, if you can’t access your 2FA you can’t open your Google Drive, which means you can’t ever get the backup
Other than disabling 2FA I’m not really sure on the best approach to get around this
In a way this does make me slightpy concerned about Lemmy servers, Reddit has a team of lawyers and tonnes of funds behind it to fight pointless demands like these
A lot of server owners won’t and will be much easier to coax into giving up information about it’s users
Yes at one point they were bundling crypto miners within their releases, I’m not too sure if they still do however there’s a lot of trust and reputation within the Piracy community
Also the fact they’ve done it once makes it very possible for them to do it again (though I’ve got no idea if they even stopped bundling malware and cryptominers)
1337x demoted them at one point for their shady practices
It seem the pinned thread has been removed discussing the change of megathread on r/Piracy (as far as I can see), it had a link to a new megathread, stating that a mod had write access to the previous one and had started writing comments about the new mod team (though personally I could not see any such comments in the megathread)
It might have been some kind of mistake or misunderstanding then?
I do kind of think Reddit will be very hesitant about assigning mods to piracy subreddits since it might look like them encouraging piracy
In all honesty in surprised Reddit hasn’t been more heavy handed removing subs like these
The wiki on r/piracy is just the megathread, as far as I know they’re one and the same
I think people on r/piracy need to see the writing on the wall. Reddit is getting rid of 3rd party clients, is obviously not happy with large subs swapping to NSFW content and is trying to push for things to be as advertiser friendly as possible
At some point they’re going to go after piracy subs more aggressively which is probably why it’s better to make the switch earlier rather than later
I see a lot of comments there saying when that happens “they’ll just make a new sub” missing the fact once Reddit starts banning piracy users/subs the new ones that spring up in its place will only last a week or two before being banned again
I feel like 90% of the questions on there anyway are just pointless if people actually read the megathread
“What is a good site for movies”, “how do I torrent”, “should I use a VPN” “help I’ve got a virus”
All questions that get repeated daily
I think the most annoying part was users flip flopping about the protest in the anti-protest camp
First it was that the blackout would be pointless and for the protest to succeed it would need to be more disruptive
Once subs tried to remain indefinitely closed, allow no new posts, allow NSFW content or only allow posts of a joke nature. Suddenly the anti-protest group said it was too far, ruining the site for regular users etc
Think addons4kodi is the better place but i’m happy to help
You’ll want to use the built in browser on downloader to search for Kodi. Go to https://kodi.tv/ click on download and select android ARMV7A
Once downloaded youll want to open Kodi and enable allow unknown sources in settings (this will let you use Piracy addons)
Take a pick of your addons, most people recommend using Fen and paying for real debrid (non debrid Kodi Is pretty terrible) it’s cheap and allows you access to 4k content and far more availability of sources to choose from
I’d recommend Googling “how to install Fen” and it’ll walk you through the steps (though ignore when it tries to recommend VPN’s you don’t need them when using a Debrid service)
Edit: Other than that the thing would be to use a Skin, however since you’ve mentioned that it’s an older Firestick I’d just avoid using one since it’ll be extremely slow and probably crash a lot
There’s also Trakt that you can link with most addons, it’ll allow you to keep track of Episode/movie progress
privacytools.io is no longer the recommended one since the mod/domain owner split a long while ago, it now heavily endorses ads (such as nordvpn) you instead should use

Brave still is a great browser just disable a few settings as recommended in the guide
