I believed the same, but in /r/piracy have seen people helping those inquiring about what lemmy is and how to get set up getting help. I thought it wouldn’t help, but people visiting reddit from lemmy are actually assisting reddit users who need help moving. It isn’t just meme posting going inside the comments themselves.

American healthcare sounds fun… It’s like they always have to be on their toes and learning new tips and tricks to save money on it.

If the community is as important to the users as you believe them to be then those who truly do value the resources of the community will move.

I value the resources of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and /r/piracy over the years so much that I came to lemmy. I didn’t see /r/piracy’s initial plans to do an indefinite shutdown as something that would hurt me, but something I fully supported and was more than happy to join them on lemmy to find a new home.

Reddit was why I found communities like those two, but reddit was not what I needed for them to always have to be on. Those who don’t feel the same will just run off to whatever other piracy resource is there regardless of whether mods or removed or different.

So I guess what I’m trying to say as one of the regular people is you don’t need to worry so much about hurting us.

Pirate family on reddit exposed me to the wonders of lemmy, so at the very least piracy mods are based. Indefinite black outs too instead of that weak 2 day protest.
