Gork,

I thought that it would have been one of the Linux subs lol

Piracy and Star Trek communities had a lot more success migrating their communities over to lemmy compared to other communities. Not 100% success as many opposed to the migration (I remember seeing big drama on r/piracy back then, and lesser drama on r/startrek), but a good chuck of them was successfully migrating to lemmy.

Edit: wait, I didn’t realized it’s @db0 himself that made this post. Man, I don’t know how you’re able keep going with encouraging redditors to migrate to lemmy with how redditors that stay on r/piracy was treating you. I say good riddance! Your hard work paid off!

Apollo2323,

He is the best , thank you all you do Db0

Well I’m not really on reddit anymore, so that helps 😁

Blaze,

Thank you so much for your work

Bro, this community rocks, I didn’t ditch Reddit completely but god all the time I head to /r/piracy are the same repeated memes all over again, here we have actual discussion.

As /r/piracy was one of my favorite subreddits, if not the favorite I always was scared Reddit would vanish it… Well not anymore, I am glad Lemmy happened so we have this awesome community, possibly forever.

BTW my lemm.ee account was created due to my prior lemmy.world blocking this community, I know they backtracked that decision, but I am so comfortable here that I didn’t even bother to go back.

Lol, for me it was similar, I had a few things I didn’t like about lemm.ee so I ditched my account there and went here by accident (well just by searchimg and it fulfilling all my needs and a ton more things), ended up liking this instance a ton so it became my daily driver

How is it different from lemmee? Legit question, I hate my instance and server admin.

ziixe,
@ziixe@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Well first they support file uploads, second I feel like everyone I ever met from this instance was nice to everyone (sure that can be because it’s smaller but it also has less controversies (i.e. what the dude I was replying to, the lemmy.world blocking us) due to the overall nature of this instance)

Went here for the file uploads, stayed for the community, that’s what I can personally say

I’d suggest the switch for you

What exactly is the issue with our admins? If you feel you’ve received some unjustified moderation, feel free to contact me and I can have a look.

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

How were redditors treating them? Just being obnoxious and refusing to change?

redcalcium, (edited )

My memory is hazy, but during the subreddit protest, he was somehow removed from moderator list (did the admins got involved?), and the sub reopened shortly after. From then on, any thread about migration to Lemmy is full of people roasting each other. It was awful. No idea why those who remains were so vehemently opposed to migration of a piracy community. It’s not like you can openly discuss piracy stuff on Reddit without risking removal by the admins.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Not to sound too tinfoil-hatty, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that was sock puppet accounts. When you don’t want people to unify and leave, just start a flame war!

db0,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes, the admins removed me without warning then re-arranged the mod team

Rai,

Classic Reddit.

Thank you for everything here, this is a fantastic instance.

NotATurtle,

To what level is this community still affiliated with the subreddit?

db0,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Same mods. I don’t particularly hang out in reddit anymore, but @sunbrothersco is still doing unpaid volunteering for spez :P

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

is still doing unpaid volunteering for spez :P

Spez is going to pay back, don’t you know about Reddit karma turning into real gold? /s

lud,

How did redditors treat him? I was subscribed to the sub and I have no idea who db0 is. I recently learned that db0 owns the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance but I don’t know anything beyond that.

redcalcium, (edited )

It’s still one of the top posts on !piracy: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555?scrollToComments=true . r/piracy went downhill soon after this.

lud, (edited )

So what?

He was a mod and then he wasn’t. Why does it matter? Whas he a very active and liked mod or something? And reddit did that not redditors.

redcalcium, (edited )

It’s unprecedented at the time because he was the top mod so the only one that can remove him was Reddit admins, and they did. r/piracy fell into a complete chaos shortly after that, lots of awful stuff so I didn’t stay long to see how it went.

lud,

Then how was it the “Redditors” fault?

squid_slime,
@squid_slime@lemmy.world avatar

Liberation of closed source/trade marked goods is only a good thing.

Meowoem,

Yeah but it’s still corporate pandering and drowning your brain in bullshit. ‘did you see the latest show that rich people decided we should be brainwashed with, it contains all the talking points they think will help society to continue to benefit them’

I much prefer stuff that’s free because it’s made by people who want to make it, I’ll even put a few coins in their patreon if I really like it.

squid_slime,
@squid_slime@lemmy.world avatar

Yes and no, I understand what your saying but there is paid media that’s has been born through passion and not a board room of ceos and marketers, share holders.

But I have less trust, especially series as they tend to start from passion then hijacked by corporate

Meowoem,

Oh there is but it’s sorted through rich people filters, if a hundred show ideas contain important and useful thoughts about our current society and one show Idea boils down to ‘capitalism is good actually’ then we already know which one will get made without any other information

I don’t mind watching a ‘capitalism is good’ show occasionally if it’s risen to the top because it makes important and informative statements but i can’t abide a landscape where other opinions don’t have that same ability.

Wow, impressive

@weeahnn@lemmy.world avatar

is it? on my end, I can see that !technology has 50k subs, but it doesn’t come up if I search for it. weird

Blackmist,

I think stats are all over the place. According to this /c/piracy is top.

But, yeah. When you go to technology on lemmy.world it shows 50k. When I visit it from feddit.uk, I see 294 subscribers.

Is each one showing how many users just your instance has subscribed, or does the lemmy.world one actually have the correct amount?

db0,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Each instance is showing how many from their instance are subbed. The parent instance should be showing the accurate count from all instances

I for one didn’t know about Lemmy until the redit piracy community moved here.

db0,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I think I might be one of the very few reddit admins who took the move to lemmy seriously and that’s why we managed to succeed so well.

Aquilae,
@Aquilae@hexbear.net avatar

Yup. I remember how hectic that sub was during the exodus lol

zeograd, (edited )

If I’m not mistaken, lemmyverse.net did not always report properly from lemmy.world and there is a community with slightly more subscribers (lemmy.world/c/technology with 49.8k subs today)

db0,
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Ah, I thought that might be the case. I did check that lemmy.world communities are listed to ensure it’s not hiding them when I checked and I saw some.

CapitanStrider,

Hell yeah
