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.

They're just there for the easy upvotes for posting their memes about the mods ruining that sub, then getting mad when the posts get removed.

The history button for Moderator Toolbox there is showing a ton of regular r/teenagers posters who barely use the sub. My guess is they saw comments getting upvoted for being righteously indignant about the John Oliver posts and decided to "meme" their displeasure in the way teenagers usually do.
