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.

I imagine most people are like me and have an old account and communities they like.

It's similar to why people don't e.g. flee states like Florida.

It's kinda dumb, but I get the feeling. They should just realize they can use both sites

That's understandable. I actually find it refreshing to walk away from the baggage of nearly a decade old account, but I have the luxury of the communities I care about (all two and a half of them) having already migrated (or split, take your pick).

Yeah. I have a few subs I'll probably keep visiting from my pc, but the rest mostly exists here already.
