https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_code
A pirate code, pirate articles, or articles of agreement were a code of conduct for governing pirates. A group of sailors, on turning pirate, would draw up their own code or articles, which provided rules for discipline, division of stolen goods, and compensation for injured pirates. Breaking the code could get a pirate marooned or killed.
People fail to understand this. Mods should have just abandoned it, pointing users towards the next new thing. Heck, the only reason I'm using Lemmy right now is due to the Melem iOS beta app, practically a carbon copy of Apollo, and because people have already congregated here. Force isn't the solution, guiding people is. And we mustn't forget, piracy never involved obeying rules.
