Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.

I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don't want to move.

I agree, although due to the popularity of reddit maybe they just landed there by chance.

Yeah I think reddit is a behemoth that has subsumed many of the earlier, more separate internet forums and communities.

I am hoping that the fediverse can reverse that trend and re-decentralize(!) the internet. The decentralized model is better for users (and humanity as a whole) after all, and reddit will continue to shoot itself in the foot by being greedy.
