All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

    I’m concerned about this comment in the linked Reddit post.

    What does it mean, “same mods”? What about “safety”? Can someone clarify?

      I used to be top mod of piracy until the reddit blackouts last year, where I was demoted by the admins in a secret coup. I was reinstated by other mods, but have been idle since.

      sunbothersco is also the top mod in /r/piracy and it mostly maintaining the megathread but is not very active in lemmy.

      We absolutely will never boost posts for money here.

      It seems that all posts/comments advocating migration to Lemmy are downvoted there. It’s truly sad that they still don’t realize Reddit is not a safe place anymore to talk about piracy and stuff

        It may be selfish but i don’t want a reddit migration. I don’t hate redditors cuz i was one (ok i do hate em but only the regular hate redditors have for each other) but if this place became as popular as that one, it would bring with it the things i deliberately left behind.

        Lemmy is great the way it is

          I don’t think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.

          Lemmy is only better because it’s not centrally controlled.
