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.

Probably because the Padres are on fire this season.
Also, I understand lemmy 0.18 replaced websockets with HTTP, which is supposed to be more reliable, but some instances have chosen not to upgrade yet because 0.18 also removed the built-in captcha. The fediverse and activitypub are really being put through a trial by fire right now, there's gonna be some growing pains.

It will take time
People are freaking out because you have to put two seconds of thought into it.
Truly bizarre.
I have the opposite question, what trait of a pirate makes you think they would leave reddit?
Whether pirates have wanted or not if they pirated long enough they have experience lot of things being killed off. Torrent sites they relied on dying and disappearing for good like rarbg. Recent reddit causality being r/newyuzupiracy. Direct links being killed off like megaupload. Discord channels dedicated to piracy or jailbreaking being banned and killed off (why isn't stuff like matrix more common instead of hoping Discord ignores them?).
The constant search for new methods to piracy p2p, torrents, usenet, i2p, irc, discord bots, telegram bots, etc.
It's not an area that has stability so pushes people to constantly be searching and finding new ways to pirate. Being on centralized places has always been borrowed time. Piracy in the long run always ends up having to search for a new home, better places, better methods. It's a nomadic lifestyle in the digital space by the nature of it and the hostility towards pirates from those in power.
But, one thing that has remained a constant has been decentralization. With no better representation of that spirit than bittorrent. As long as a few people have it the source remains alive.

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.
They simply have no spine?
