Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.
I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don’t want to move.
my theory is that most users don’t know or care about the api changes or the deaths of the third party apps. and most of the ones who do know dont care.
id also guess that a lot of people are hesitant to join the fediverse due to a choice paralysis, kinda similar to Linux distros. altho joining an instance is not actually all that complicated most people just dont want to have to bother making the choice of which one to join, and others cant be bothered to learn how instances work. ppl think it’s complicated because it’s different and new to them and ppl generally don’t like change 🤷♀️

“Why fix what isn’t broken?” Most people don’t have the foresight, they live in the present and it’s like nothing has changed. When the realization hits, they might migrate to lemmy if reddit was important to them.
Personally, a video should help. A lot of people are visual learners. And the size of the community at reddit is small… that’s also a factor. If their friend are coming here, they’ll come here.
