Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Because people resent change.

Honestly a lot of people who casually use reddit, probably don't know and aren't deep enough into the reddit world to care much

Why wouldn't they want to stay? It works for them. Before ideology, before morality, before any other thing you can conceive of is plain, simple convenience. And Reddit is certainly convenient. Once enough users leave, they'll leave, too.

I also don't understand it. Didn't they always have problems there with Reddit deleting pinned threads and their wiki full of information, to the point where information had to be collected on an external page?

They probably don't want to learn, so they won't try to learn how to use Lemmy or Kbin.

Because Lemmy isn’t as conveniently accessed, and it’s just slow.

It’s also confusing.

I never found /r/Piracy to be useful for anything other than making memes about piracy. There's very little actual information on how to pirate.

After one day in on Kbin, I found this handy little breakdown, which provided me with more resources than I'd ever seen listed on Reddit during my entire time there.

This is a prime example of the slow heat death of Reddit - now that they've forced people to start looking at other alternatives to their communities, they're beginning to realize how restricted and frivolous most of Reddit has become, and what a poor information resource it actually is. When information is presented and moderated as entertainment, it's quality invariably suffers. While it may be a bit to early to tell, it feels like Reddit's failures are instigating an internet Renaissance in the federated space, which has the openness and freedom to allow that kind of a movement to grow.

On Reddit, like my link above, it would be removed for violating the TOS.

How do you even open the site on mobile without having to install the app? I keep getting an overlay. Can't we just post screenshots from now on and stop generating traffic on their site.

Need reddit app to see that? Nice try mate

Truly bizarre.

It will take time

People are freaking out because you have to put two seconds of thought into it.

I just took a look at one of the most popular recent "mutiny posts" and wow, it really has gone to shit. I get that some people might not care about the API mess, but they actively hate the mods there. Half the comments are just unhinged and are still upvoted.

There was even an unabashed antivaxer comment from some guy drawing some sort of insane comparisons between mrna and r/Piracy mods and even that was upvoted lol

I don't know if the numbers back this up but I hope that the reason for this is just that the reasonable people moved to Lemmy and it's just the crazies left there...

According to some old reddit has a better layout than this place and the people there are pissed at the mods for breaking their own rules for the place. Makes me trust people less and less. Especially those in positions of power. Some of the people here are great but I hope something better looking comes along cause this place has no aesthetics imo.

I'm still kind of weirded out by some of the bugs and differences. For example, quite frequently, I'll click a lemmy link, and for whatever reason it keeps taking me to some weird baseball game thread about the Padres or something. I don't know why, like wtf, so random.
