    Well originally because I want to have a place in case r/piracy gets banned.

    Now it’s because of reddit’s horrible decisions regarding their API

      One tidbit about lemmy’s early history: I was originally going to contribute to another reddit clone called postmill (despite it being written in php) many years ago, but one of the things that turned me off to contributing to it, was that the creator refused to allow having torrent links. So one of my main motivations in starting it, was to allow piracy.
