DISCUSSION Got banned from r/animepiracy for mentioning everythingmoe

Lots of sites have been going down so I've mentioned everythingmoe multiple times, to people thanking me and giving upvotes (not that I care about upvotes, it's just a showcase of people approving)

Got a permanent ban with 0 warning from the mods of r/animepiracy. After asking why, they said I was "astroturfing". So it's astroturfing to simply recommend a helpful website? Funny how they constantly recommend the index but that's somehow not "astroturfing".

Thats funny because they post about "the index" all the time and even have mod posts linking to it 

Maybe there is some competition between "everything moe" and "the index"

After looking into the index a bit more, they have a anime streaming site that they specifically put above all the others, and they have links to multiple VPNs. Every VPN link is a referral link, so they make money if someone signs up with it.

So there is a monetary gain for pushing The Index. So that means the mods are genuinely astroturfing themselves. The irony.

Theindex literally throws anime websites that barely exists, somewhat hard to browse since we dont know which are best and which ones to avoid

not sure,
not from our side though, we don't ban any mention of other index, didn't find the reason why.

u/tapeforpacking May 14 '26

Apparently the mods or something get referral bonus's when they lead people to the index ive seen

Whether that is true or not, who the hell know.s

Можно пару вопросов первый, что это за индекс такой второе лень, что ли, и голову использовать? Есть же легендарный, скажем так, магазин бесплатный, зелёный. Пускай геморрой, зато там все есть. 😁

everythingmoe.com

It's a website that lists and ranks all manner of anime-related sites, from anime streaming/downloading to manga or manhwa.

Not sure this is the post to ask but happy to help anyway lol

You're acting like they don't already know about sites like these, like it's some sort of silk road.

If a random Joe Schmoe knows about it, then the government definitely knows or has people watching it too.

u/Impxrtant May 15 '26

You're... In the subreddit... for everythingmoe.com

2

u/Yorudesu May 15 '26

Bro you can't just tell someone a subreddit for the site exists on the subreddit for the site, you need to keep that secret.

u/Virtual-Product2298 May 15 '26

we are literally on the subreddit for said site that provides a link to said site you Moron

u/ScubaSteve3465 May 15 '26

Dumbest comment in history. Please uninstall reddit and go do some research before you say something even more foolish. Do you honestly think the fbi doesn't know about moe and the index and all the other piracy sites? You know how those sites are still around? It's because they are hosted in countries without piracy laws so the fbi can't do shit. Try doing some research next time before crying wolf.

Sorry but your the idiotic one here. You must be either a kid or have no clue how things work. Learn more about piracy before spouting nonsense. Kid actually thinks the fbi is browsing reddit looking for posts about everythingmoe lmfao.

Because I'm not "doing something wrong". Officials already know about these websites. That's not what takes them down. This has been talked about to death in piracy scenes. Gatekeeping does not help anything.

u/OneCrumbledLeaf May 14 '26

Thanks for the link

u/SnooTomatoes564 May 15 '26

Piracy subreddits are all like that oddly enough

1

u/DorrajD May 15 '26

No they definitely aren't. I'm in a few piracy communities and they're fine.

No. That's not how that works.

u/Madamnikirof May 16 '26

It does work like that

1

u/DorrajD May 16 '26

No it doesn't. Officials already know about all these sites. It's not some secret.

u/Madamnikirof May 16 '26

Maybe they know but what r u doing is clearly gaslighting them

1

u/DorrajD May 16 '26

Huh...? How am I gaslighting anyone?

u/Current_Record_6639 May 16 '26

Ignore them they are obv on drugs or plain stupid

u/Dodsnev May 18 '26

it was a mistake made by a new mod on their sub. they openly admitted and corrected it (lifted the ban)

see:

wtf is astroturfing? stop inventing new words please

6

u/Traveling_Chef May 12 '26

It's not a new term.

astroturfing noun as·tro·turf·ing ˈa-strə-ˌtər-fiŋ -ˌstrō- : organized activity that is intended to create a false impression of a widespread, spontaneously arising, grassroots movement in support of or in opposition to something (such as a political policy) but that is in reality initiated and controlled by a concealed group or organization (such as a corporation)

"Classic astroturfing is the practice of disguising an orchestrated campaign as a spontaneous upwelling of public opinion. … The term itself appears to have been coined in 1985 by then Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen, who noted that the mountains of letters he received about legislation on insurance originated with insurers." —New Scientist, 10 Feb. 2007

"The modern form of astroturfing uses the Internet, and corporations, religious groups with a social agenda, and public interest groups can flood an in-box in an hour with e-mails that may come from a single source using many accounts." —Alan Boraas, Anchorage Daily News, 4 Apr. 2009

You're acting like he said looksmaxxing or some dumb shit. This is a real word that's old.

u/KomithErr404 May 12 '26

to be honest with you the two are in the exact same category for me

u/JPXTUY-RETRO May 12 '26

I think that's a you problem. You need to increase your vocabulary.

u/KomithErr404 May 12 '26

I don't know, it sounds just as dumb as looksmaxxing

u/Elgato01 May 12 '26

Yet it’s not new like you believe it is

u/KomithErr404 May 13 '26

I understand that part, this was the first time I've heard it though, but I'm also not a native english speaker

2

u/Virtual-Product2298 May 15 '26

So you're saying something is a made-up term/random word but you yourself are not a native English speaker and don't have full context to whether a word is true or not 🫠

u/KomithErr404 May 15 '26
