Having a normal piracy related sub on reddit is actually a good thing. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I see more and more (I assume young) people that are bootlickers on r/piracy that I'm wondering the following.

IF, the real productive people, like the mods on that sub like db0 for example, come here, and there is still people there is it really important to have a sub there?

You see, if there is no productive conversation going on that sub, because the people who are productive came here, that sub will die off, but slowly.

At least we got rid of the bootlickers, right? Also, as always piracy always gets banned, if a site gets too big, too mainstream. r/piracy was mainstream. It's better if that sub is the frontpage of piracy, but the real important things are happening here.

My request for the mods: Next time, when there is a need for an update of the megathread, don't update there. No need. Just do it here. It helps lemmy more that way.

This is what is going to inevitably happen with most technical subreddits. All the power users who contributed the most are either gone or leaving.

Reddit will be no better than Quora in a few years.

Noticed there's a lot of geeky people on lemmy, and so many seem to be using stuff like linux in threads asking what OS do you use. Which is definitely a big outlier from the average user. So seems like even if the numbers aren't high that there's a lot of people who can provide tech support to dumb people like me.

Just like early reddit

Because its people who are geeky who tend to be more willing to try something new and not use the default. Wouldnt be suprised if the average 3rd party app user was on average, more technicly inclined than the average official app user. Its automatically true for the mods given having access to more tools via 3rd party.

Quora was great for a while and then one day I suddenly realised how much garbage was being pushed down my throat... Or at least that's how I remember it, I never looked back after leaving

I think the only widely used site that has miraculously avoided enshittification has been wikipedia, because of a rock-solid ethical foundation.

If wikipedia somehow dies, I think that will truly mark the death of the open web for me.

Bold of you to assume it's any better than Quora right now.
