Hi guys,
We're restricting new posts until we fix the problem we have on our hands. We desperately want this sub to stay active and not be banned, so please bear with us.
You can post your opinions here in the comments.

The mods here have a problem with the politics of the people who created raddle so posting links to it here are now thought crime. I already bookmarked it, trustworthy links are trickling in. More would if the mdos would stop deleting the fucking links to raddle.
Maybe it's the fact that the forum on raddle is not associated nor affiliated with this subreddit, and the mods here don't want to give out that impression?.. Also I personally gave raddle a try and the mods there are even more censorship-happy than reddit currently, so it's no wonder the mods here have a problem with them.

Yawn.
The reason The Donald is still up is because the mods of that subreddit comply with Reddit staff whenever asked. There's no reason for them to get banned when they're complying immediately when asked to.
Yeah... except that it leaves hate inciting and racist posts up on their sub for months until pointed out. They are only moderating when forced.
it leaves hate inciting and racist posts up on their sub for months
If you don't actively seek to limit the speech of people /u/Acmnin finds distasteful or unethical, you're promoting fascism, not /u/Acmnin.
Advocating genocide, telling people they want to take them on helicopter rides(to throw them out), etc.. etc., that the moderators remove after admins tell them. Fuck off man.
Advocating genocide
Have you ever actually been on T_D?
telling people they want to take them on helicopter rides(to throw them out)
That Pinochet meme is old as dirt and hasn't "incited" shit.
that the moderators remove after admins tell them.
Wow, almost like they police the sub according to reddit's rules. You do realize they're not required to actively make their subreddit tasteful under your standards, right? Just obey the admins, which they do?
Idiot. They are supposed to be moderating the content that admins inform them of without having to be told, we’ve started waiting months to show how they aren’t even attempting to follow the sitewide rules. I’m part of a subreddit that documents the hate speech that flows through there, please drop your bologna off at the deli, we aren’t buying here.

You're on /r/megalinks. Stop LARPing as a "revolutionary" lol
99% of the people that complain about that sub never visit it and only guess and assume about what kinds of things are posted there
Then they make demands to the admins based on their assumptions.
If you ask a decent question against their ideology, you get banned
There are lots of subs on reddit that force ideological purity. I think they're all idiots but I'm not calling for them to get banned.
when echo chambers spill violence outside their bubble, that bubble is open to be popped.

Did t_d actually advocate violence at any point? Legit question.

Its not a conspiracy, it’s a possibility that is so seated in reality you’d have to be an ignoramus to not even consider the possibility.

Have you been paying attention at all? Facebook isn’t the only platform in question.
Is it so hard to believe Spez when he just straight up says the mods of TD always comply and thus there's no reason to ban the subreddit? Is that so incredulous that there must be a federal investigation?
[-] KidAstronaut | 1 points
It’s literally illegal for Reddit to admit to an investigation or a subpoena. You are aware of that right?
No shit. The point is you're believing there is an investigation for no reason. Instead of just taking the believable option, you take the less believable option, because you want it to be so.

*bullying
*Oceanic slurs
any talk that might make someone challenge their current believes is an automatic ban

Yep. Trump arguably won because people were tired of being bullied and censored by fb et al. But td has become just the same from the other side.
Still it's all useful. Just like with dinosaur media. If you only listen to NPR or only listen to Fox you only know half the lies. Gotta listen to it all so you you know all the lies and thence can figure out the truth.
[-] Lastkowitz | 2 points
NPR is actually way more moderate than most news sites these days. I listen to it because it gives facts over opinion. Not saying it isn't left leaning, but less so than the news sites declaring Trump as an incompetent psychopath.
[-] faithkills | 1 points
Yes NPR is the best of the left and it's definitely more moderated but it's not strong on facts. I am considering shows like "On Point", "Fresh Air", "Here and Now", under the 'NPR' rubrik, and they have long since given up any pretense to objectivity. I do remember the good old days when NPR opposed wars of opportunity and the surveillance state. Long gone.
The actual 'news' shows are even worse imo. Their pretense of objectivity is given more effort, but pretense isn't enough in an internet world. Stylistically I find the 'talking to a 5 year old' tone and grammar they use entirely insulting. Of course they do know who their audience mostly is.
I think it's still important to listen because as I said, between the lies from Fox and NPR we can sift out the truth.
Generally if NPR is complaining about some republican corruption it's probably true. Generally if Fox is complaining about some democrat corruption it's probably true.
If they both agree (like Assad chemming his own people when he's already won except for the fat lady) you know it's definitely a lie.

No offense but I disagree and I do not feel like dragging on a debate about objective news sites and stations.

while they leave t_d untouched.
While this community isn't the place for politics, all this clusterfuckery absolutely boils down to progressive left-wing policies that are anti-gun (r/gundeals got killed) and social authoritarianism that will police your speech for wrongthink.
You may hate Trump with all your being and correctly point out that t_d is itself an echo-chamber, but beneath their bravado and "spicy memes", they're actually interested in protecting your constitutional rights. Pose a sincere opinion that goes against the grain in t_d and you might be buried in downvotes and called a "cuck", but you won't be banned unless you're blatantly trolling or aggressively contrarian. Do the same in r/politics and you will be silenced simply for having "problematic" opinions.
Too many of y'all are frogs complaining about the obnoxious squawking bird on the shore while the Zuckerberg scorpions (and Twitter, and Reddit, and limousine liberals, and "#Resistance") hop a ride on your back.

Besides: if you think t_d is terrible now with all of its users happily sequestering themselves in their community, what the fuck do you think will happen if you crash their clubhouse and flush them out? Reddit will burn.
I mean, going into other subs and starting shit is already the favorite pastime of t_d users. They are not happily sequestered away. If they were everyone else would be happy to just ignore them instead of griping about it all the time.
I'm sure if the admins banned t_d there would be a temporary increase, but long-term I think without that echo chamber providing encouragement for their behavior we would see less of it overall.

I'm working on archiving the post titles, URL/selfposts, and date as well as author. Not comments, not sure if that would be worth it.

Here is the new version with 16k+ posts: https://mega.nz/#!RFVDGa6D!RLtEY4pM3wShgSph29LLEvRfL86a8JeIinPp8ismBy8 I now got the comments on link posts that were by OP, as well as flair(user and post), and score.

[-] gazongagizmo | 12 points
No comments, but I can get those later if the sub doesn't die.
i agree that they're below the other parts priority-wise, but some comments are very important to the structure. not only because of the keys, as they sometimes get posted there, but also sometimes archive passwords, and general discussion that helps to elucidate the content. e.g. a gigantic pack of audiobooks that's zipped into one archive, and the poster didn't post a table-of-contents, but some friendly user downloaded the whole thing and shared its TOC with us
[-] zackogenic | 2 points
I agree. Thing is that parsing comments makes each post take about 100 times as long it seems. Would it make sense to only save root comments from the OP, and only on link posts?(Not self posts)
That should get most of the keys. The other cases not so much.

If anyone is interested in why Reddit is doing this, it may have something to do with this.
https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2018/03/21/591622450/section-230-a-key-legal-shield-for-facebook-google-is-about-to-change
Basically the law that says that websites aren't responsible for what happens on their site is being amended. Companies will be more culpable legally.
A bill has passed the senate and is being sent to the President to sign. Bear in mind that if Reddit is making these changes due to impending changes to the law moving to another website might not be feasible as all sites would be affected by the change in the law, and it might even affect things like Discord. Despite all this, the reddit policy bans transactions, but only for certain goods or services.
https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/863xcj/new_addition_to_sitewide_rules_regarding_the_use/
It's debatable whether this subreddit qualifies for the transactions listed under this policy change. This subreddit might be affected by this policy change, it might not. Reddit might also decide to ban it for other reasons that have nothing to do with this policy change.
For those unaware the moderators of /r/megaporn were apparently told a while back that that subreddit was going to be banned.
https://www.reddit.com/r/megaporn/comments/82ltsr/end_of_megaporn_impending_ban_our_new_forums/
No one knows what's going to happen, but maybe some concrete information will help some people feel better. At least you will know what's going on instead of pure speculation.

[-] BloodHawkDarkWolf | 4 points
It could be. It could also not be. I can see both sides of it, and I don't think there's a clear answer one way or the other.
At the end of the day the only opinion that matters is what Reddit thinks about it. If they wanted the subreddit gone it would have been gone long before now, believe me. They know about it, there have been DMCA takedowns, etc. The new version of the law makes website owners potentially liable (civilly and criminally) for what happens on their site, so they're just trying to cover their asses.
I can't really blame them for that. It sucks, but anyone else who owns a business would do the same thing. It's not just reddit. Craigslist has banned any personals involving physical contact. They just can't afford the liability.
https://www.wired.com/story/craigslist-shuts-personal-ads-for-fear-of-new-internet-law/
They said in their announcement they would like to keep offering it because they know it is a service people want, and they hope to bring it back some day, but companies can't afford to open themselves up to lawsuits from this.
I hate to be political about it, but this is what you get from a Republican congress and President. Last year they allowed isps to sell your data and repealed net neutrality, now this.
Thanks for fucking the internet (and everyone) permanently, Republican voters. You ruined it. Great fucking job.

[-] Lastkowitz | 1 points
Im not a Republican, but I will play advocate for a moment and say there's no way they would know this would happen to the web. Trump never mentioned repealing net neutrality until he was elected. (from what I remember, I barely paid attention to the elections since it was basically two shitty choices on how we want to kill our country) and they certainly didn't know about this policy. Granted it sucks, but playing blame game with people at this point when everyone is so divided and don't want to recognize their own problems but blame others is only going to lead to anger and arguments. I personally think we need a bail plan, just in case. Some place on another part of the web that's linked here just in case this place ever does go down we can reconvene there. Like a family fire plan. :)

[-] OzOzOzOwOwOw | 19 points
Only solution I can think of based on /r/megaporn 's events, is encoding titles in base64 such that companies who own the material being posted can't just scroll through and start sending out mass DMCA requests (which is what will get us banned).
Will be a hassle but will likely allow us to stay here

Mods should pin this.
No, they shouldn't. Raddle has a heavy political agenda and likely won't be a friend to MEGALinks. A Reddit clone built around banning anything not aligned with the far-left can't be considered a safe haven.
Mistaking far left politicians for far left people. Most regular lefties don't give a damn about stuff like /r/megalinks.
Edit: Also, just found this: https://raddle.me/f/ShitLiberalsSayOrDo Along with plenty of other anti-left posts.
[-] Bullet_King1996 | 1 points
I wasn’t aware of this.. is there any post about that somewhere?
Much of their FAQ reads more like a victim-playing political manifesto than anything else. You'll also notice that the featured communities are almost all political.
Their TOS are overly concerned with how they want to ban "bigotry" and "oppression", which in these circles usually translates to "anything we disagree with politically". Given that similar groups view a lot of media as being ___phobic I would not be surprised at all if a MEGALinks sub over there ended up being interfered with.
You cannot trust political radicals to uphold non-censorship. Sure, they're committed to not handing over user data to authorities, but I don't think it's the free platform we'd be looking for.
[-] Scaramussa | 1 points
You're right, just check the subs there. It's probably more oppressive than reddit

[-] DisastrousProgrammer | 15 points
Hey, I used to host a pickup products sharing subreddit. Our subreddit got banned and all the moderators are IP banned from reddit. Here's our story.
A certain company kept on reporting their products, we get a notice from reddit that our subreddit has an usually large number of DMCA requests and we need to do something.
We ban all products from that particular company from the sub. That was the only company that was complaining. However, an individual from that company personally had a beef with one of the moderators. (unimportant to any implications of what might happen here but if you want to know, someone from that company tried to doxx our members by offering money over paypal as a 'thanks' then serving them legal notices once they got their emails. One of our mods retaliated to release his old youtube videos. The old youtube videos were instructional vids on how to sexually assault women and get away with it, full with actual infield video him demonstrating his techniques (that's right, videos of him sexually assaulting women). When authorities found out about it he was banned from visiting several countries. He has reinvented himself as a self-help guru and actually gotten all traces of his old videos removed from the internet. )
That company keeps on going to posts 2-6 months old and posting links to pirated versions of their own products, then reporting it. We get a ton of reports that we can't do anything about, and our subreddit gets banned.
We recreate a private version later. We figure reddit appeased the company and the company got what they wanted so Reddit wouldn't care about us anymore. Nope. A few days later not only did our subreddit get banned, but the mods get their accounts banned too.
Here's what we wished we had done: Kept a list of all the users who contributed something, so that we could contact them to group together on a later time/date. It's a bit task, but I would try to start archiving the subreddit now.
Open up a parallel subreddit on https://www.voat.co/ . Also, advertise people to join the discord server on the right. Once the sub goes down, the most important thing is that all the people here know where to connect.
Edit: left out an important detail, fixed.
[-] bungcuddler | 20 points
I would rather not have this community be associated with an alt-right haven like voat.

[-] bungcuddler | 6 points
[-] Lastkowitz | 2 points
There is a difference between going on a subreddit and going on a site that mainly hosts things that someone finds objectionable to find one forum. You could try seeing things from the other side. Same goes for a Republican who would hate to see this sub go to an alt left forum.
You don't have to deal with these "objectionable things" at all if you're gonna make and moderate your own subverse (voat equivalent for subreddit), just like you don't have to deal with t_d here... If the platform works, it works. Worrying about who is sharing the website with you is completely irrelevant and silly.
[-] Lastkowitz | 1 points
My point was that someone left leaning might be upset to have to be a part of something that is so far right. Its different here where t_d and other subs aren't the main dominating force. And this sub is pretty apolitical, so moving it to a mainly political place would be an odd choice, and needlessly split a good community.
You know a website like twitter has a shitton of ISIS militants, alt-righties, regressive lefties and others extremes, right? Yet non-extremes have assimilated into it just fine, because neither side are forced to deal with each other and everyone coexists without issues. That's because twitter is "a platform" and not "the ISIS platform"; anyone can use it as long as they abide by the rules. Same thing goes for reddit and voat, except the latter has very relaxed rules.
If your complaint about voat is that it's super right (so assuming you're left leaning) then move there and balance it out, make your own left leaning subverses if you want and no one's gonna stop you... See, that's all that matters; not being censored. You said this sub is apolitical and that's true, so why should its visitors care where it's located?
[-] Lastkowitz | 1 points
Three things
1: Comparing Voat to Twitter isnt a good one since its more common than not that someone who sees their views as 'correct' will stray over to someone saying something else and start fights because their views are different and it seems like these days most people can't take a different view of the world. This happens on both sides of the isle, it isn't a left or a right thing, it's a political climate thing. This happens on Reddit too, sure, but Reddit has such a diverse set of subreddits and communities that its much less noticeable. If we were to move to Voat someone would stray into an area to simply start something, whether they're liberal or conservative, and then it could cause trouble for us.
B: I am not arguing against Voat because of any political views I have. I am perfectly capable of existing within a community that doesn't share my own views on politics. But not everyone can, and I am arguing against Voat because I want this community to stay mostly intact in yhe event of a need to jump ship.
And IV: The fact that this sub is apolitical means that most people come here not to worry about discussing politics. I know I personally come here to find new and interesting things to watch or read and share my tastes and experiences with others, not to observe political rhetoric from either side. If we moved it somewhere that mostly revolves around politics, it could ruin this beautiful apolitical group we formed that is more interested in sharing movies than whatever Trump is doing this week.
As a sidebar, making a liberal sub on Voat would cause more arguments than I think anyone would prefer to see.
1, B, IV
lmao
This happens on Reddit too, sure, but Reddit has such a diverse set of subreddits and communities that its much less noticeable
No not really, I moderate a bunch of obscure subs and even those get numerous trolls who start political fights, it's bound to happen anywhere. And I think the comparison between reddit/voat and twitter is fair, since they both have blocking/filtering features that helps you isolate what you don't want to see.
But not everyone can
Their problem. But chances are this type of people never set foot in megalinks or reddit in the first place, I'd wager they already avoid reddit because of the far right subs on it... Let's talk about you though, would you move to /v/megalinks when push comes to shove?
If we moved it somewhere that mostly revolves around politics
Voat doesn't "revolve around politics", it's just a platform as I said in my previous comment, it having a large number of political users doesn't mean it can't be used by anyone else... Megalinks is apolitical here, it's gonna be apolitical there. Megalinks gets trolls here, it will get trolls there. All these issues are up to who is moderating the subverse, not who's running the entire website.
[-] Lastkowitz | 2 points
Would I move to Voat if we had to? Sure. Political differences don't bother me at all. But I'm the type who wants people to be comfortable within a community, and I am sure some people won't like it. If Voat is our only chance, then we should take it and at least keep the sub alive somewhere. On the other hand, if there is a more politically neutral place we could hold up, I would recommend going there solely because it would be less alienating for people. But we're not even sure this place will burn, so I suppose its all hypothetical.
Fair enough, and I do see your point.
On the other hand, if there is a more politically neutral place we could hold up, I would recommend going there
Someone ITT mentioned Zeronet, that would be neutral and also safe from copyright takedowns (in theory), however it may not be as accessible as reddit or normal websites in general (difficulty in mobile access, special program required...etc).

What's the difference between Raddle and Voat?
[-] Caelondian_Brushers | 3 points
From what I've read on a comment in this thread, is that each of those are on either end of the political spectrum. One's very right and the other very left. "raddle is the mirror-opposite of voat". Something along those lines.
What's the difference between Raddle and Voat?
Voat disabled their megalinks sub, Raddle didn't.
We need a deep web forum that's not easily accessible from Google.

The mods of this sub have done a fantastic job of keeping the last mega-haven going, perhaps I'm being optimistic but I think we might just come out of this one too.
I just want to thank each and everyone of you guys that have been supplying my commute with high octane anime and live action alike for the past few years. Nobody has really been an asshat when it came to doing the password captcha or the mega url link. Everyone just got with the program and made it work.

This is a temporary measure, a more easier alternative to making the sub private. Neither of these measures will prevent a ban, but it gives us mods time to come up with a solution without having the sub flooded with more content while we're testing it.

Finding some place to mirror here might be a good route for the near term. ~~There's nothing on the legal horizon to push them into do anything any time soon~~, and being a no drama sub is a great way to guarantee there's bigger and louder fish for them to fry.

What is the point?
So, we're taking proactive measures to avoid [being banned]
If your proactive measure is killing new submissions, the subreddit may as well be banned anyway. Even though you are not allowing new submissions the sub still must have thousands of active mega.nz warez links that could be a grounds for taking it down at any moment.
[-] indigo6alpha | 10 points
The solution we're working on is the proactive measure. Submission restriction is just to stop the sub being flooded with new posts, which will make it difficult for us to test the solution.
[-] neckbeardgamers | 4 points
There is no solution you can come up with on Reddit, you cannot keep it secret what this sub has been doing for years. Like I said all the old pirated links are still available to everyone, anyway. Even if you remove the old links admins can probably see what you have been doing, or anyone in the public can check www.archive.org.
No solution could work on Reddit, eventually Reddit admins will decide to ban this subreddit. If a solution is found, no serious effort should be invested in a Reddit based solution. A non-reddit solution would probably be the best solution, for one I remember how much superior megauploadforum ever was to this sub. In the meantime restricting new post submissions means this sub ceased for all purposes. I don't know how long it will take admins to put enough of their attention on this sub to ban it, but they eventually will. And restricting submissions just means this sub isn't catering to its purpose in the meantime, meaning that the limited lifespan this sub has anyway is being proactively shortened by you mods.

ive loved this subreddit very much ive found somethings that would hard to find really accessible on this subreddit.Its been a pleasure to be a part of .

Well, they came for the guns and decided to take everything else as well. It is sad how people who are willing to sacrifice the freedom of others are suddenly shocked when their freedoms are gone as well. DUH!
[-] KokiriEmerald | 3 points
Fuck
i saw one of the gore subreddits on about this as well
such is the price of shareholders
Close it off with entry requests. sounds F*cked up but that may be a requirement. Some Closed Subs harbor former tracker members.
If you posted the links without describing what the link is for you wouldn't have to worry about search engines. Sure you would need to do additional work to determine what the upload is but it's a small price to pay. The way things are set up it's easy for the down loader and for those trying to prevent them.

Hope this gets resolved and thank you all.

Does anyone know what happens to files in Mega storage that is above the Free Quota after an Achievement expires. Will my data be deleted?
[-] Jatin_Nagpal | 2 points
Let's just migrate it from reddit.
I've even set up a community poll on the discord about which type of platform the community would prefer for the purpose. It's up over at the discord, and the mods can post it here if they prefer. (Also sent a mod message about it.)
(This is the poll, btw: http://pollmaker.vote/p/9DMNCU72 )

Reddit has completely gone to shit in the last few years. Time for a new place to pop up.
[-] madwilliamflint | 2 points
So... what does freezing submissions accomplish?
[-] MrTattyBojangles | 1 points
If no new submissions are posted, the sub might not get banned. Why is so hard for people to understand?
Anyway, the sub appears to be open again. There's an announcement about it HERE. Guess freezing submissions paid off, huh?
[-] madwilliamflint | 3 points
It just doesn't make any sense. If a sub were going to be banned on principle, what does 'new submissions' have to do with it?
[-] MrTattyBojangles | 2 points
Stopping submissions may have allowed the sub to remain, as long as no new submissions were put up. Doesn't matter now anyway, the sub is back.

What is the exact reason for this? Do they suspect we are breaking copyright laws? Can the mods tell Reddit that not everyone lives in a place with such laws. I can download/ upload all the books I want and it is perfectly legal.
[-] Riddle_Snowcraft | 1 points
As long as this sub stays safe, I'll bear. I'd rather protect what we've built than push careless behaviour.
[-] Scaramussa | 1 points
We need something at least similar to Aether and not another extreme left wing website
[-] LlewelynMoss1 | 1 points
Good idea. Hope we can keep it alive. This is a great community
Mods, why don't you make the sub private?
[-] kaching335 | 3 points
That wouldn't solve anything

Not until they ditch that godawful rapidgator.
I just found out about this sub like a month last year. I hope it works out somehow. I still haven't found the SVU Collection link lol..
if we cannot upload here, how about we just put all of our links in the discord instead, cut out reddit as the middle man
[-] pokedonthejapsubway | 11 points
you can post links in the discord but there's no dedicated link-only room so you have to sift through conversations to find anything
[-] choose_a_accountname | 1 points
Does anyone have a link to the discord server which actually works.
[-] indigo6alpha | 0 points
It's on the sidebar
[-] -TheBabadook | 1 points
Any update on the situation?
[-] culturedkid | 1 points
discord invite plz
Check the sidebar
[-] culturedkid | 1 points
Said it was expired
[-] pokedonthejapsubway | 1 points
if you tried the invite in the OP and sidebar and both are expired then you're banned
press F to pay respects

I don’t understand how I would have been banned. I hadn’t even been on discord before.
[-] DisastrousProgrammer | 1 points
Should I make a temp subreddit on Voat in the meanwhile?
I think it's a good idea, but I have a feeling it might be a bad idea. Thoughts???
[-] DeathtotheCavalry | 1 points
could we title each post in a code (such as base64 language) and have google translate or something equivalency read it?
[-] indigo6alpha | 2 points
That's very similar what we're going to have, except we won't be using any external services
[-] -TheBabadook | 1 points

[-] TheGoodSheep | 1 points
I will miss this site. At least I remembered my TL.org account
Can we just make this private?
[-] -TheBabadook | 4 points
Why does everyone think that would help? It wouldn't
[-] mininestime | 0 points
So im a tad confused. Why are you restricting new submissions?
Really no reason not to allow new things to be posted. Personally id look into using one of the few other reddit like sites and going from there. voat ect. See if they allow it. I want to get all of season 2 of the santa clara diet and cant seem to do it without going thru multiple megalinks one at a time bah!

Small price to pay for free shit.. I tell myself that every time I have to do a captcha eighty different times for one file
[-] MrTattyBojangles | 4 points
You clearly haven't fully grasped what's happening, have you?
[-] mininestime | 7 points
I get it, just nothing changes. The outcome is either they ban the sub or not. No way really to stop that. We can hope they dont, but disabling the sub is pretty much the same as it being banned, since its pretty useless then.
Can’t we make the sub private and then sort of do how the weed dealers do it where I grew up. You have to know someone who is already in to get an invite.
I don’t know if that will help if Reddit used algorithms or whatever to see if banned content is coming in but at least it won’t be public facing.

it locks off files after too many requests.
[-] KokiriEmerald | -5 points
Oh no! Reddit is even more cancer than it's already been for the last several years we're just going to have to move to distributed immutable blockchain solutions. What a drag. I guess the next regulatory step they'll have to take is to shut down the internet at that point.
blocking submissions is useless, this sub is illegal anyways so just continue till it dies !
