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 don’t even need to be tech literate to join Lemmy.
I know, but the amount of people I’ve seen on Reddit the past month going like “hurr durr how do I Lemmy??? I dun understand!!!” was staggering.
You are right, it is 100% about technological illiteracy. Their pea brains cannot understand the concept of social media that isn’t exactly the same as everything else they’ve used.
If anything it’s willful ignorance I suppose. Reddit was unlike any previous social media site the majority had used, so I don’t really get how “it’s too different” could be a legit argument.
Reddit was still one company, one website, one account, etc. Federation confuses these people immensely.
I mean it pretty much works the same way as Usenet. Independent providers have servers which federate content with each other.
Not that hard of a concept.
and they are the sort who are afraid of change. They want everything to be automatic and low effort. that’s why reddit has become a low-effort shitpost imageboard.
Adults turn into small children the minute they get online. They are completely lost and vulnerable.
