so the big thing is that people who go to these subreddits for utility purposes will just go to another site for the same utility? im not sure what the point is bringing them up then, there are already piracy and rom sites. Reddit was not a huge hub for these topics anyway. there are piracy/roms/streaming sites that have been serving people for longer than reddit has been around.
Not everything is just reddit based.
this is why i think nobody cares. there are other sites for these utilities and always have been.
God I hate to say it but it's similar to a vanguard party, wherein you organize ahead of time and gain support before it's time to pop off, and then when the moment comes there is already a sense of what needs to happen among masses of people looking for an answer. It is kind of wild that it translates to online, but that frame of reference actually makes sense to me right now
Chapo.chat wasn't established until over a month after the sub was nuked. If there had been a backup site already established then sure the majority still wouldn't have migrated but this site would be a lot larger and maintained more of the subs spirit.
id be more than happy to try and take my sub to another website but honestly i dont see people moving. nobody actually cares.

I don't see the vast majority going to a different website regardless. if other examples are to go by, the users will just dissipate.

I agree that at least the piracy related subs will probably thrive outside of reddit, like a return to the warez sites on the mid to late 2000s

You can build your alternate platform up over time, integrate your communities, and then the retention percentage will be higher

They’ll care after a ban or a quarantine. The point is to set it up when nobody cares and build it over time
