Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit? (lemmy.world)

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.

Most of what you said is valid and correct, but very little of it is a reason to stay on Reddit. Rather, those are deficiencies in Lemmy that should be addressed (and to be fair, most are in progress) in the code.

I do feel the need to point out that your first point is off the mark. In a way, due to federation, there are no admins. But in another, there are tons of them, with a team on each instance.

As for your second point, the very point of killing that sub (and similar actions on countless other subs) is to fight back against those singular admins of the first point. But at some point, these actions will stop organically. It could be on 7/1, it could be months from now. It could even be when there's a mutiny, or Reddit replaces the mods with scabs. But it will end, and a lot of people will already be gone permanently.
