Should we post here or reddit?

I thought r/piracy was dead but I see is very active, I don't know if mods changed or something though. Where do you guys think is best to ask questions?

r/piracy is mainly active with 3 things
Memes
Random questions
Drama
I, personally, never ask questions on that subreddit. Only viewing for random entertainment or boredness.
Both Piracy and PiratedGames subreddit are the 3 above. If you ask a particular question, you’ll often get randomly ridiculed (for nothing).
I’d just say - post it here and if that really doesn’t work out then try it there. Though out of personal experience this community on here is much (much) more friendly, willing to help and actually get to the point.
This community also had actual discussions and not random shit throwing in the community.
- wow, I was kind of expecting this to be an exaggeration but you are right. I just checked over there and it's just memes, news articles, and arguing.
  
  Always has been...
  
  There is a workaround in search: -flair:humor Get rid of all these meme posts

Fuck reddit.

Are lemmy and reddit mutually exclusive? Try whichever you prefer first, and then the other one, if it doesn't work.
I will not go back there, but I'm also not gonna get all judgemental on you if you do.

I’m inclined to say screw Reddit. Lemmy may be less private overall but at least we have more control over things in the Fedi.
- How is it "less" private? Because the API isn't a paywall, sure. But... I don't know what's your perspective, really.
  
  Probably along the lines of federated user activity, so things like upvotes/downvotes etc and subscriptions to a community being federated to the relevant server(s)
  So even if you're lurking just voting on content, someone could setup a lemmy server, sub to a bunch of communities, and theoretically look at incoming activitypub updates from those communities for your activity I think
  
  The others in this comment thread have covered the potential threat vector fairly thoroughly. It’s not something I’m particularly worried about at the moment, but it is something that I try to keep awareness of for the future.

Here, and FUCK SPEZ. Reddit and Xitter will go like Digg.

Rhetorical question, right?

What's a reddit?

Here.

Here. I can't speak for others, but I don't regularly visit Reddit anymore. My client has been done, so from my phone it never happens anymore. On PC I'm only using it when I want to read something there from a search result or by a link, and even then I'm using it through libreddit, which is annoying because reddit often rate limits the public instances.

Here, spez can suck a dick

Questions over there might get removed IMO, last time I checked out of curiosity it was full of memes and very little discussion. Could be different now 🤷‍♂️ but personally i'm staying on Lemmy

Here.
Reddit, and any centralization, is intrinsically dangerous to piracy.

Here.

Fuck reddit. I always read through the posts on here, I just don't comment if I have nothing to add.

whatever is your preference. if you want your post to reach more people reddit might be your answer. if you just hate the way reddit is but you are okay with decent (or zero) interactions sometimes, lemmy can be your alternative.
