I made an account. Asked a few questions about the platform in their info com, made the mistake of bringing up why the “tankie triad” are pre-emptively blocked, got a bunch of people accusing me of being a tankie and telling me to look at MeanwhileOnGrad and the other com I can’t remember. It’s not for me, but I get why some folks prefer it.
I absolutely, 100% support Piefed and think this whole pissing contest between platforms is ridiculous. We’re all participating in the fediverse. Lemmy was designed to be open-source, to be built on, forked, played with, whatever. Piefed is growing and diversifying the fediverse, same as Lemmy.
You claimed that Lemmy.ml is not authoritarian, were pointed to multiple communities pointing out thousands of instances where it was shown that it is, and still claimed that it is not, nor can be by definition, which you later recanted as a poor wording choice…
Anyway, that was a discussion with one single individual, with almost no up or downvotes that I could see, so essentially a private conversation even if held in a public space. And the individual you conversed with has only a six month old account, has nothing to do with the admin or development team that I am aware of, and mods only a few gaming communities.
That’s not “people”, that’s one person, singular, who has nothing to do with the info community, and I definitely did not see the “bunch of people accusing” you.
Anyway this post was intended as lighthearted fun, though it seems to have struck quite a nerve. Maybe it’s because people on lemmy.ml are calling for literal murder and the downfall of Western civilization (go see for yourself, or e.g. those communities you were referred to catalog such cases if you want an easier time going straight to it), and Lemmy.ml and the Lemmy source code are becoming increasingly interlocked over time, rather than lessening that decency.

We’re all in this together.
