Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit? (lemmy.world)

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.

That's not the real games piracy sub anyways. The true successor of the scene-watching community is and always was /r/CrackWatch and even there people are very aware that they're not contributors, just spectators. So basically, it was a place for movies piracy, and movies piracy is and always been the most piss easy, top result on google piracy around. I haven't gone on a single website to pirate movies in a decade, shit is all searchable either directly on qBit and deluge or on tracker tools.

They don't want to come over, so what? They're irrelevant. A wiki service reddit, barely anything else. A place for people who unironically install uTorrent and don't even know what the u stands for.

That's why it kind of surprises me that https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy is packed but https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/crackwatch is basically a ghost town.

Yeah I don't need to know about every single thing that comes out immediately, or the latest drama that empress decided to vomit into an .nfo file. I'm here for discussion about sources and methods, I know what I'm looking for and who I trust to repack it.

To me, finding out about new releases is the most interesting part since I already know basically as much as I'd need to about how this sort of stuff works.

People probably don't know what the u in uTorrent stands for, because there is no u in μTorrent. Quite ironic that you are coming at them like this and fuck it up yourself haha

Because mu is so easy to type on a standard keyboard.

I didn't fuck it up unintentionally.
