Likely a combination of the community having more tech savvy individuals + realising Reddit would fuck over r/Piracy eventually, making more of them follow dbzer0 here when they were overthrown.
That’s kinda strange, not gonna lie. I was expecting a lot more subs in the meme communities etc.
I do find it interesting that when lemmy instances are mentioned, lemmy.dbzer0.com is mentioned as an afterthought, if at all :D
I reckon it’s probably a good thing we are flying under the radar in the media tbh. Media attention might draw other forms of unwanted attention. It’ll be interesting to see how things shake out over the next year or so though. Those meme communities have a lot of growth potential given their demographic.
Although good for the active community, I don’t feel like it’s a great advertisement of lemmy for the wider public
Eh I think it’s pretty neat. Means a majority of users are tired of or willing to subvert capitalism in some aspect and that gives me hope.
Piracy??? I thought this was a Pirates appreciation community!
What the fuck is that commy shit on c/news?
That’s hexbear.net, a tankie instance
Thanks for answer
Ew, why lemmy has so many tankies
