No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.

I’m hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don’t love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren’t out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.

As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.

    I’d assume people move when something better comes around.
    But “better, more functional” is a relative term. Not sure that many here would be willing to forgo federation, and thus the independence from corporations, which especially don’t like piracy.

    Btw, have you specifically told people what about the UI/UX you find problematic, so that it could be improved?
    And has kbin the same issue for you (as it federates as well, you can travel this community through kbin just fine)

      I wonder how Raddle.me would be? They seem to have some policies similar to what I’ve seen for torrent sites

        I like Raddle - They already tried moving the /r/Piracy community there earlier but it didn’t pan out. There’s still a /f/Piracy community there that could be used as a backup in case something goes wrong here.

        Technically someone could set up a Postmill instance (Raddle’s backend software) anywhere & have their own community along with it. One upside with Postmill is that it plays nice with Tor, Raddle itself has a Tor address so does not need to be accessed on the clearnet.
