Seriously, out of any community how does /r/Piracy have so many people who have such a hate-boner for new thing Lemmy? Please tell me I’m not the only one aghast by this right now.

You can see why in the comment
It’s the technical issues and general troubles people have adjusting to Lemmy. It doesn’t help that Lemmy and its mobile apps are still rapidly developing.
A lot of people are lazy too. They’ve gotten accustomed to having certain communities available with a single login while they poop.
Lots of people also found the whole Reddit blackout cringy, unjustified, and pointless largely missing the point.
Aren’t the questions basically just why do you want to join, why’d you pick your username and how’d you find this place? It’s not like the question is asking to solve euclidean equations.
What questions are you guys even talking about?
They probably tried to sign up on beehaw which has three questions about your intentions. I’m sure there’s others but I think beehaw is the biggest with an application.
what? I just used this on beehaw when asked about why i want to join and I got approved, what’s difficult about that? mine isn’t even a sentence
Digg ->Reddit->Beehaw
Some instances like ours at Lemmy.pro ask simple questions to try and filter out bots etc. Other admin options include requiring email address be used and the captcha difficulty level. Bad thing is if you enable these, places like browse.feddit or whatever it’s called list your registrations as being closed. They’re not, they just restricted with a small challenge.
Quite amusing that these people literally failed a bot test lol
