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.

Probably because you're pressing a link to a post of another instance, but it resolves to your instance instead.

Meaning that, you'll be shown a post with the same ID on your own instance - where you should have been shown the post with the ID of another instance.

Either you're using an app, and it hasn't accounted for this yet - or the person who made the link didn't format it correctly are my best guesses.
