I’m sure everyone lately has noticed there’s a tonne of hate on the privacy subreddit, with every new post/comment there getting more and more aggresive than the last

I personally am loving the Lemmy community but I feel as though keeping the piracy subreddit in it’s current state is making users of it quite hostile to change since they believe they are being forced to move

This will honestly make them refuse to ever use Kbin/Lemmy since in their eyes it’s the moderators and users here that have killed r/Piracy (obviously wrong of the stick it’s Reddit that’s killing it’s own communities with it’s policies)

So I guess it’s a question of should we as a community hand over the subreddit to a new moderation team or some other change since I don’t feel like it’s doing us any favours

Hoping to use this post as a sort of discussion about people’s opinions

    I don’t remember the last time I went to r/piracy except to check the megathread. Most of the content I came across there are low effort memes and low effort discussions but I had to check it recently to see pics of sexy pirates then I saw all the drama.

    I’m absolutely disgusted by subs whose essence supposedley is anti-corpo yet aren’t planning to moving to another platform because they love Reddit so much! Of course, some mods in r/piracy actually made the effort to get people elsewhere but a lot of the users turned out to be corporate bootlickers.

    I hope the users get charged a monthly subscription to access Reddit so they could come here to ask for modded Reddit apps.

    Anyway, I don’t really care what happens to r/piracy. There’s a copy of the megathread here and if I need help, then I’m sure the users here are much more knowledgeable.

      Legit, I only looked there for the megathread too. It was just a cesspool of low effort content and people who didn’t check the megathread, if I’m gonna be honest.
