PieFed is genuinely one of the biggest ruiners of an alt of reddit.
Instead of using one good software, Rimu felt it was important to make a platform that’s slower, ruined by horrid code, and then also act like a dictator while playing dumb.
PieFed is the biggest laugh on Activity Pub for a reason.
when piefed was publicly released there was a concerted effort to flood lemmy federated platforms. People were writing, now obvious, LLM generated comments about how much better piefed was over lemmy.
I even went as far as to call piefed a cult with how viciously piefed users “defended” piefed.
I warned people that the movements seemed unusual for a new platform and more like a hostile takeover. I was downvoted and told to stfu.
so here we are today. I’m not entirely sure why a social media platform would want to do what piefed is doing other than just attempting to fracture and destroy the federation.
The hostile takeover before piefed I remember was the failed forced migration of 196 from Blahaj to .world. And that was by a gaggle of transphobes who ultimately opposed Blahaj’s zero tolerance policy on transphobia. Those transphobes have considered Blahaj to be a tankie instance and all of Lemmy to be tankie since.
… it’s astounding that you think the original 196 mod team, which was comprised primarily of trans folk, left Blahaj because they were transphobes.

This is wrong on a lot of levels, it’s hard to begin where.
wow, look at that!
the thing I complained about came true.
piefed was just a grift to kill federation.
