I mean, yeah somewhat, I’m just pointing out the idiocy of asking that question in a place specifically designed to talk about those places.

Also, regardless of how bad the sites as a whole are, making the transition fully is just plain too difficult, there are communities that haven’t moved and no matter if you are putting effort to have them here, you won’t be able to get a question about a program answered if there are 3 active people on a community

Why not?

(Also look at the community you are replying in… What use is there on quesrioning why people use reddit on the c/reddit, it’s like when people say “why are you using 4chan” on r/4chan lol)

A.K.A “the Jordan Peterson experience”

Just one thing to add, people freaking out is extremely uncommon. I haven’t even heard about a case IRL, even for trans people it isn’t something that tends to happen.

Don’t be afraid to just guess when you are unsure, you can always ask though and at least for younger generations it isn’t seen as weird or unpolite to do so

I sure love it when people use a single opinion to smear a person’s entire legacy, he was great not only for the tech stuff but his stance on scientific articles piracy and a lot of other stuff too.

I won’t say that that his opinion on cp is a great one (there is no doubt at least for me that distribution should always be illegal), but he wrote it as a 16 years old and it was guided due to his extremism for free speech over the internet, regardless, it’s not like he himself was an evil person distributing child pornography, to paint him as an overall shitty person for an opinion like this seems idiotic imo

This is q bit personal and maybe slightly unrelated, but it reminds me of when people defend non-offending pedos (as in they are attracted to children because yhey are born that way but have not offended, nor groomed, nor harmed a child) saying the stigma should be erased because that would allow us to actually help this people who constantly hide it, therefore reducing the harm to children. This position has unironically got me called a pedophile and a lot of horrible stuff over the internet, and I would draw parallels to this situation, no matter how you slice it this opinion should not be used singlehandedly to state he is someone that shouldn’t be respected. Especially since he is not defending the harm itself being done to children (as in the production of CP) which would still be a crime under his view. (Although distribution of course grows the market so it’s idiotic not to go after that too), but as I said, it’s a bad opinion but that doesn’t make him a bad person.

No clue if this community allows for links, but I just checked on nyaa.si and if you search by leechers, the second result is an 189 gb file with seasons 1 to 19

I was talking about the reason of why some comments weren’t deleted, which a few weeks ago was being talked about as a conspiracy and was striking me as a little weird conduct by reddit since it was almost a non issue due to the small volume of people doing this compared to the harm of a potential lawsuit.

I agree erasing everything should be easier though

Seems reasonable, but reddit should still be able to delete those posts and comments from privated subreddits if requested to

I really don’t think Lemmy is an instant replacement for reddit, nor should we expect it to be. (Even if it was to ever replace reddit it will take years)

Communities need to grow organically here and move people over by the content that gets produced, one shouldn’t really expect for entire subreddits to move over, it will always be a few people and from there it grows.

Hell take r/piracy for example which I think is one of the most “successful” migrations, some of the main mods created and instance and the same community here on Lemmy, they also promoted it heavily before leaving r/piracy to those that wanted to stay over at reddit. While the piracy community is pretty good and vibrant, it is not yhe same as it was in reddit both in volume and in content produced. I much prefer what it is here since it’s a lot less meme focused but the point I’m trying to make is that even if communities migrate here, the content is different, a lot of users that produced content won’t immediately come over and 8t will be its own thing.

At that point just making the community again here organically instead of relying on the og mods to vome over will probably have a similar effect.

I’m currently seeding quite a few… Let’s see what they can do
