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

Just purge reddit from your mind and be done with it.

This. I’m baffled by people coming here to talk about Reddit.

That’s baffling you? The majority of resources are on reddit right now and - unfortunately - people don’t care to move elsewhere. They just want their links and answers to questions that have been asked and answered 10,000 times and that’s it.

Again: Unfortunately.

I think that’s the point, the people who care about things like the API changes have already made the migration, the rest of the losers stuck there in rubbit don’t matter to us, and as other posters noted this is likely the group of people is productive. Who cares. Leave them behind.

Not sure what this vast collection of resources is that you’re pining over. Theeye, among the vast majority of actual piracy resources, were never really on rubbit anyway…

From the looks of it, seems like the people who don’t care about the API are the ones left behind, makes me think these are the type of people who don’t contribute; and sooner or later they’ll realize that.

I fully agree. It’s brain drain

Still, that’s not an argument against what OP is proposing? Let them have it and moderate it to the best of their capabilities, and let them come here if the resulting community is not up to their standards.

The comment quality is that sub went down in recent weeks. Many people don’t seem understand philosophical underpinnings.

Fuck doing this any easier to reddit. I’m of the mind to just remove all mods, set the community to restricted and if reddit wants to re-open it, they can find new mods themselves.

Unfortunately a few of the existing mods want to continue with reddit only and I’m not top mod anymore, so…

People are so brain dead that they think the only place to get answers on piracy is reddit. Even 4chan is better if they can’t be bothered to come here or raddle or any piracy forums that exist outside of reddit if they are left that clueless.

Should nuke the stuff on reddit, and give it back to them to figure it all out for themselves. They can have their sub if they want to talk piracy on reddit that much. Probably go about recommending piratebay to each other to download software and games.

That should be the way for every sub really. Just wipe and leave it unmoderated and tell the people who are whining to go mod it themselves now that it’s back open.

I disagree on nuking it. Its still user generated content and isn’t up to the mods to decide what happens to all of that. We just need to grow this community so that this is the real source for piracy related information.

Instead of thinking about what we could do on reddit, think about what we’re going to do on Lemmy.

Haven’t noticed, not been spending much time or mental bandwidth on snoosite. No opinion on what happens to r/piracy.

Good for you. But since the subreddit is the explicit topic or this thread the right thing to do would have been to not post a reply at all.

Thank you for your input. However, the explicit topic of this thread is what the original poster is “sure everyone lately has noticed”, and they went on to solicit “a sort of discussion about people’s opinions”. As I am sure you are aware, stating that I have not in fact noticed and therefore have no opinion is nothing but engaging with the topic. Please do not derail the topic further. Thank you. :)
