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
Meh, Reddit admins will do whatever they'll ultimately decide to do with that subreddit. I don't see why anyone needs to make Reddit admins' job easier, they are literally employed and being paid to deal with this stuff. If they want to force replace mods in any subreddit they can, if they want to force close any subreddit they can.
Also remember it's Reddit, the complainers are free to create new subreddits & become moderators themselves.
I think people with that mentality largely already have, they've just done it here because they understand the community and discussion are the value. I don't think many people clinging this hard to reddit are going to be the type to pilot new communities.
Yeah you're right, maybe it's just wishful thinking haha. A lot of these complainers threaten to create new subs (like that's a threat?) to try to replace privated subs... and yet for some reason they don't actually do it.
