I see more and more (I assume young) people that are bootlickers on r/piracy that I’m wondering the following.
IF, the real productive people, like the mods on that sub like db0 for example, come here, and there is still people there is it really important to have a sub there?
You see, if there is no productive conversation going on that sub, because the people who are productive came here, that sub will die off, but slowly.
At least we got rid of the bootlickers, right? Also, as always piracy always gets banned, if a site gets too big, too mainstream. r/piracy was mainstream. It’s better if that sub is the frontpage of piracy, but the real important things are happening here.
My request for the mods: Next time, when there is a need for an update of the megathread, don’t update there. No need. Just do it here. It helps lemmy more that way.
I don’t think it really matters in the long run. After that site goes public and they try and appeal to advertisers, that subreddit and NSFW in general will become unpalatable to advertisers for not being ‘brand safe’ regardless of legality of simple discussions. It might take a few years but migration is inevitable.
