I’m sure everyone lately has noticed there’s a tonne of hate on the privacy subreddit, with every new post/comment there getting more and more aggresive than the last
I personally am loving the Lemmy community but I feel as though keeping the piracy subreddit in it’s current state is making users of it quite hostile to change since they believe they are being forced to move
This will honestly make them refuse to ever use Kbin/Lemmy since in their eyes it’s the moderators and users here that have killed r/Piracy (obviously wrong of the stick it’s Reddit that’s killing it’s own communities with it’s policies)
So I guess it’s a question of should we as a community hand over the subreddit to a new moderation team or some other change since I don’t feel like it’s doing us any favours
Hoping to use this post as a sort of discussion about people’s opinions
The problem is that as long as the majority of Reddit users continue to not care about the actions of Reddit management, our spinoff communities are less likely to attract newcomers than their subreddit counterparts, which will continue to have a greater proportion of people. Another problem is that the division inherent to the Fediverse puts us at a disadvantage, as while most content is the same across platforms, kbin and lemmy users seemingly can’t DM each other and the potential of having several miniature r/piracy equivalents across different Fediverse instances (as kbin.social/m/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is admittedly harder to remember than kbin.social/m/piracy) leaves us divided where r/piracy itself will likely remain largely intact, unfortunately.
