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.

To be fair, anyone who actually cares is not on reddit anymore, so you're seeing the worst of the worst takes.

A lot of people on r/piracy are pirates by convenience, not by ethics. The sub being shut down is not convenient for them. It's really sad to see how many people have the attention span of a goldfish, and can't think beyond "this isn't convenient for me today."

Pirates by ethics = root of socialism, anarchism?

Pirates by convenience = root of capitalism and imperialism?

Well I certainly don't give a fuck about ethics so I just pirate cuz I want. And on that note I also use reddit sometimes because why not. I'm not here ideologically, just cuz it's a nice place to be in. I like it here. I use lemmy more than Reddit nowadays. Reddit is a source of information and sometimes memes. Lemmy for the good place to be in.
