Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I’m out, I think.

    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

        This is wrong on a lot of levels, it’s hard to begin where.

        … it’s astounding that you think the original 196 mod team, which was comprised primarily of trans folk, left Blahaj because they were transphobes.
