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.

I personally prefer Firefox + NoScript for blocking malware and malvertising. Couple that with adding a fuckload of blocks on your OS's etc/hosts file (System32/drivers/etc/hosts for windows) and you're golden for perusing perilous waters

Also, yandex is the only search engine that i've noticed that does NOT block or censor pirate sites. Everything else: google, brave, duckduckgo, startpage, etc, they all block stuff they so much suspect might harbor pirated content.
