Why Lemmy's Piracy Community Outshines r/Piracy? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

r/Piracy on Reddit is more of a meme subreddit. I've never seen any actual discussion or valuable information as I do on this community. Why is that?

I haven’t downvoted a single thing since joining here. I feel like all I did on Reddit was downvote, there was just a deluge of irritating nothing-comments and posts there. There’s such better discussion here. I’ve already discovered some awesome stuff (like movie-web.app, holy shit) and had some great advice from nice folks about where to go for information on stuff I wanna do.

I hate to say it, but I think the relative inaccessibility of Lemmy makes the community wholly better. Reddit’s decline really began when any cunt with shit views could easily download their app, make an account in two seconds, and spew hate all over. Before that, it was just nerds like me who sat at their computer all day to chat.

Unfortunately I feel like that hate and those shitty views are going to spread here soon. I've already seen some people unnecessarily gate keeping over niche topics which is one thing but there's also hateful communities. I can block them but another always seems to spring up.
