Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit?

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?

It’s so hard to join lemmy now, and everything lags in lemmy even just an upvote…

I have only just joined over here on Lemmy, so let me try to explain what took me so long. Reddit, even though a shit hole, is easier to use and has ingrained itself with google for even easier use. Lemmy is a nightmare to try and find boards ya interested in for common people, as each .com is it’s own sign up and own set of boards, it’s not you go to one site, sign up and find what ya want, you need to know each little lemmy.insertnamehere to find a certain ammount of boards.

This is just my experience and everyone could be different, basically put, laziness and simplicity i think are the two main reasons.

EDIT: not to mention that just took about 5mins to post… wtf is up with this site?

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

I do not think that is the case. You simply need to toggle the search for communities to “all” instead of “local”. That should search every federated instance, which becomes very similar to searching for communities on Reddit
