Seriously, out of any community how does /r/Piracy have so many people who have such a hate-boner for ~~new thing~~ Lemmy? Please tell me I'm not the only one aghast by this right now.

Dey see me federatin', dey hatin'~

No but for real, the only people still faithfully sticking to Reddit are corporate shills and/or tech illiterate people. I see them staying there as a net positive if you ask me.

Yeah, that type of person is a large part of the reason reddit turned to shit. The relative difficulty of accessing this platform has been a great filter for casuals and clout chasers.

I agree, but there was clout in piracy? Why wasn't I told about this

Nothing they love more than back ups of back ups.

You don’t even need to be tech literate to join Lemmy.

I know, but the amount of people I've seen on Reddit the past month going like "hurr durr how do I Lemmy??? I dun understand!!!" was staggering.

You are right, it is 100% about technological illiteracy. Their pea brains cannot understand the concept of social media that isn't exactly the same as everything else they've used.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If anything it’s willful ignorance I suppose. Reddit was unlike any previous social media site the majority had used, so I don’t really get how “it’s too different” could be a legit argument.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Reddit was still one company, one website, one account, etc. Federation confuses these people immensely.

[–] veroxii@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I mean it pretty much works the same way as Usenet. Independent providers have servers which federate content with each other.

Not that hard of a concept.

and they are the sort who are afraid of change. They want everything to be automatic and low effort. that's why reddit has become a low-effort shitpost imageboard.

Adults turn into small children the minute they get online. They are completely lost and vulnerable.
