Why don't they move here? They are being exploited there anyways

And give up their power as mods of a large subreddit and starting again from scratch? Most of them probably aren't willing to do that.

I still think Reddit forcibly removing the head mod of r/Piracy is peak irony. They can't not have people discussing copyright infringement, even through in years prior they were threatening to ban the community.

damn, the employees (probably directly from spez himself) are picking the "troll" route for reopening. r/piracy and r/antiwork? they aren't even big ones like r/videos!

I wonder if it's some strategic bullshit to try and scare people. Fuck it, most of those people are the kind who would enjoy using Lemmy anyway.

like a mob boss saying "we'll start with chopping your fingers off if you dont comply, then we'll move up to other parts"
