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.

It's like BitTorrent. There's seeders and then there's leechers who just want their free stuff and stop sharing immediately afterwards.

Some have more principle than others.

I'm not sure I'm able to seed, unfortunately. College network doesn't seem to like port forwarding, and Mullvad disabled port forwarding recently. That and I don't have a lot of storage space and I'm worried about getting a scary letter from my ISP. At least the scene I'm in is more DDL-based than torrent-based. Makes things easier.
