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.
It’s important to note that the default state of people is being dumb. It takes effort, exposure and more qualities/circumstances during a person’s early years to not be dumb.
Many people just didn’t grow up in an environment that allows that, it’s actually a quite specific one that doesn’t happen automatically.
And once the early life phase is over, mental plasticity is a lot lower, so very very few people go from “dumb” to “not dumb”.

If you want to be less dumb, I can really recommend https://lesswrong.com/rationality
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
Some days I think “People can’t possibly be that dumb, right?” and them I’m let down every time, 'cause they are.
Seems to apply to everything involving people.
