If nobody uses the platform then there is no reason for it to exist. The fewer people who use it, the less functional it is as a social medium. Pretty obvious shit.
If every single user of Lemmy.world, or even a significant majority, leaves because they're no longer able to discuss piracy, I'll fight both Zuck and Musk in a cage match. It's all hot air from a very vocal, overly entitled minority.
If every person left Lemmy.world @rudd and the admins could take on another free hobby that they don’t get paid to do like bowling or birdwatching. He also has a calkey server and guessing he doesn’t cry every night because there aren’t 10,000 users.
But Lemmy.world isn't the whole platform, it's just an instance of it. You're right if the people are saying "I'm leaving Lemmy forever!", but most are saying they're simply moving to other instances.
