People who haven't joined or even tried Lemmy at this point are just close-minded. What stopped them from joining Lemmy during the initial days of blackout, way before all the John Olivier fuckfest? These same users are acting like you can't use one more site. Probably addicted to Reddit karma.

Reddit will not improve and it will get worse for sure. It's actually good all of these happened, at least the sub will die at the mods' hands. Considering Reddit already killed piracy subs like megalinks years ago and slowly banning other piracy subs one by one, the site's becoming more and more unfitting for piracy discussion and it hasn't been the most comfortable site for discussing piracy ever since those events. Mods have to impose stricter rules to avoid a ban, at least there's way more freedom in piracy discussion on Lemmy, just like on Reddit years ago. Reddit will most likely ban all piracy related subs in the next few years, maybe they'll even pull a Tumblr/Imgur and ban all NSFW subs.
