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.
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.
I’m pretty “stupid” as well when it comes to online literacy, it’s definitely challenging me to use Lemmy (I’m on Jerboa right now, gonna try some other apps like Wefwef and Sync when it comes out to see how I like them) but I really like the community and the potential here. I’m gonna have to learn how to do a lot of new things here, like figure out the extent of where my log in works, how to organize the instances I want to go to and be a part of, and how to search through this content. But I’d rather get on the ball now so I can fully integrate and leave Reddit behind. It already felt like a cesspool before Spez did his thing, and it’s getting worse by the minute now that the 3rd party apps are down
I tried Jerboa first and now I’m on connect. I like them both but I think I’ll stick with connect. It might be worth a look.
I tried Jerboa then Connect as well, Connect is definitely the superior of the two, I’m hoping for Connect to become more like RiF, or something else that will, but connect is good enough for now.
