redcalcium ( @redcalcium@lemmy.institute ) English179•6 months agoPiracy 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@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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!
Well I’m not really on reddit anymore, so that helps 😁
kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemm.ee ) English32•6 months agoBro, 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.
Ziixe ( @ziixe@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•6 months agoLol, 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

lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) English8•6 months agoHow 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 ( @redcalcium@lemmy.institute ) English16•6 months agoIt’s still one of the top posts on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555?scrollToComments=true . r/piracy went downhill soon after this.
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) English2•6 months agoSo 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 ( @redcalcium@lemmy.institute ) English14•6 months agoIt’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 ( @lud@lemm.ee ) English2•6 months agoThen how was it the “Redditors” fault?

kingthrillgore ( @KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml ) English44•6 months agoBack in my day we had Netflix and nothing else, and it was good. Nowadays I can’t even watch Looney Tunes on fucking Max because they were delisted. Please someone explain to these execs why they are losing money. They’re dying.
onlinepersona ( @onlinepersona@programming.dev ) English11•6 months agoExecs are getting paid millions! They DGAF. Once they drive one thing into the ground, they can just move on after landing very softly with their golden parachute.
Tautvydaxx ( @Tautvydaxx@lemm.ee ) English1•6 months agoBecause of the price hike by all the streaming services, pirating never felt better. I can watch anything I want, any time, dont have to wait for my monthly sub to expire to switch to another provider and than watch what onley they provide. Maybe if pirscy numbers rise they will do somthing that helps the consumer.
trackcharlie ( @trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com ) English32•6 months agoI don’t pirate games anymore because steam solved my access problem.
Amazing that all these shitty streaming services make me wish blockbuster was a thing again.
But, since it isn’t and never will be, it’s a yo ho ho from me.
(Until a reasonable steam-esque service for movies/shows turns up anyway)
ulterno ( @ulterno@lemmy.kde.social ) English8•6 months agoUntil you think it might be fun to play 2 games on 2 different monitors on 2 computers at the same time. Then you realise, Steam games are not treated as just software. 1 of the many reasons I prefer to pay the price for GoG despite Steam being significantly cheaper due to regional pricing.

Blxter ( @Blxter@lemmy.zip ) English19•6 months agoI for one didn’t know about Lemmy until the redit piracy community moved here.
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.
