r/Piracy probably needs a rethink
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
I’m older, and remember the days when the internet was “hard” (pre web). And because you had to work a little bit to find information, you tended to stick with, and contribute to the groups you found. Better engagement, better discussion, more inside jokes, better community. Reddit has just turned into an echo chamber of the lowest common denominator. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old days - a community with actual content.
I vote: do whatever you want with it (kill it, hand it over, whatever). Let’s leave it behind and concentrate on making this place awesome.
i hear this sentiment often and as a younger person i feel like i missed out on something cool
At least you never got the chance. As a 40+yo, I feel like I had chance after chance to do great work and never took it, because I was young and lazy and selfish. And now it's so much harder to do everything.
this! having to work a little to find the community is a good filter, bc its not even that hard to find, but the effort makes sure everyone who comes here actually WANTS to find quality content
