Piracy and Star Trek communities had a lot more success migrating their communities over to lemmy compared to other communities. Not 100% success as many opposed to the migration (I remember seeing big drama on r/piracy back then, and lesser drama on r/startrek), but a good chuck of them was successfully migrating to lemmy.
Edit: wait, I didn’t realized it’s @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com himself that made this post. Man, I don’t know how you’re able keep going with encouraging redditors to migrate to lemmy with how redditors that stay on r/piracy was treating you. I say good riddance! Your hard work paid off!
Well I’m not really on reddit anymore, so that helps 😁
Bro, this community rocks, I didn’t ditch Reddit completely but god all the time I head to /r/piracy are the same repeated memes all over again, here we have actual discussion.
As /r/piracy was one of my favorite subreddits, if not the favorite I always was scared Reddit would vanish it… Well not anymore, I am glad Lemmy happened so we have this awesome community, possibly forever.
BTW my lemm.ee account was created due to my prior lemmy.world blocking this community, I know they backtracked that decision, but I am so comfortable here that I didn’t even bother to go back.
You are the man!
He is the best , thank you all you do Db0
How did redditors treat him? I was subscribed to the sub and I have no idea who db0 is. I recently learned that db0 owns the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance but I don’t know anything beyond that.
It’s still one of the top posts on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555?scrollToComments=true . r/piracy went downhill soon after this.
So what?
He was a mod and then he wasn’t. Why does it matter? Whas he a very active and liked mod or something? And reddit did that not redditors.
It’s unprecedented at the time because he was the top mod so the only one that can remove him was Reddit admins, and they did. r/piracy fell into a complete chaos shortly after that, lots of awful stuff so I didn’t stay long to see how it went.
Piracy and Porn rule the Internet
Ahem, misinformation would like a word with you.
Misinfo needs to piggyback off of what people are using their internet connections primarily for.
We ain’t pay for shit.
I for one didn’t know about Lemmy until the redit piracy community moved here.
I think I might be one of the very few reddit admins who took the move to lemmy seriously and that’s why we managed to succeed so well.
I don’t pirate games anymore because steam solved my access problem.
Amazing that all these shitty streaming services make me wish blockbuster was a thing again.
But, since it isn’t and never will be, it’s a yo ho ho from me.
(Until a reasonable steam-esque service for movies/shows turns up anyway)
Until you think it might be fun to play 2 games on 2 different monitors on 2 computers at the same time. Then you realise, Steam games are not treated as just software. 1 of the many reasons I prefer to pay the price for GoG despite Steam being significantly cheaper due to regional pricing.
No idea what you’re talking about; I’ve played two games from steam plenty of times while waiting for something in a game.
Back in my day we had Netflix and nothing else, and it was good. Nowadays I can’t even watch Looney Tunes on fucking Max because they were delisted. Please someone explain to these execs why they are losing money. They’re dying.
Execs are getting paid millions! They DGAF. Once they drive one thing into the ground, they can just move on after landing very softly with their golden parachute.
I got into datahording pirated media out of spite, youthful angst and complete lack of funds. Now i literally consider it an act of preservation.
Because of the price hike by all the streaming services, pirating never felt better. I can watch anything I want, any time, dont have to wait for my monthly sub to expire to switch to another provider and than watch what onley they provide. Maybe if pirscy numbers rise they will do somthing that helps the consumer.
Because its the most useful.
Linux has their own forums and the other stuff is either moderated poorly or pretty useless
Congratulations!
I used to be part of the memes community but it sucked so much ass that I just returned to reddit
Which one? The lemmy.ml community sucks because there are so many tankies, but according to the Community-Browser there are at least half a dozen other general meme groups.
