Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.

I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don't want to move.

I mean exactly. I'm 99% sure these folks weren't contributing anything of substance in the first place

This applies to most other bigger subreddits too. You could go into subs with millions of subscribers, but in the comments it was always still the same handful of people actually contributing useful things.

Yeah I imagine anyone with real knowledge that was contributing has jumped ship at this point.
