Six months later, a new Removal of piracy communities announcement confirmed that these communities had been removed. [!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com](/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com), which was the most popular piracy community, is still inaccessible to lemmy.world users. This is misleading: users see the old post, sign-up, and then find out they cannot access the community.

Please edit the original post to include the new removal announcement.

People don't want to switch.

Then they're the same as the Reddit users who refuse to move. It's not hard to move to a different Lemmy/PieFed instance, that's our strength. You can export your account data and import it to your new instance so your subscriptions transfer.

But your upvotes and comment history don't.

Sure but IDK that just doesn't seem important. That's the same issue we had switching from Reddit to Lemmy. My Reddit posts aren't gone and neither are my programming.dev posts, I'm here on retrolemmy.com now and I'm fine leaving my old account behind. If I need to edit an old post then I'll open programming.dev but that doesn't bother me.

IDK that just doesn’t seem important.

I’m fine leaving my old account behind.

Then we have different viewpoints. I'm very much NOT ok with leaving my old account behind.

If AI hadn't banned me on reddit, I'd be much happier over there. I'd have my old account, and all my post history going back 10 years. Which by this point would be more like 12 or 13 years.

It's not important to you, but it's important to me. Just because youhave an opinion doesn't make it "the right way". Everyone can have different opinions, and thats ok.

Literally 3 months after I got here, and started figuring out how the fediverse worked, I was calling for changes. Quite frankly, what I thought the fediverse was is a lot cooler than what it actually is.

I can post a picture here from pixelfed, but it's no different than posting a picture from imgur.

So the account history is all I have to look back at.

Wrong. My opinions are the only correct ones. ;-)

Would you really be happier in the den of nazis, bots and shills?

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I'm passing by this discussion and just inserting myself in here to say: I'd be happier if reddit was more like it was when I joined - when it wasn't the den of nazis, bots, and shills. Although the admins have always been libertarians^[:hissssss:] and protective of the fascist point of view… but at least in the old days it wasn't as pervasive.

But that aside, I agree with you in general.

Then admins have no reasons to change anything

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

People want access to the defederated instances, on lemmy.world.
