For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

Piefed and Lemmy have been cooperative together so this kind of post is just literally going to harm both platforms. It has the goal of killing Lemmy, and therefore it has the goal of removing labour that is helping Piefed.
At the same time, isn't the value proposition for PieFed largely based on sucking up right wing Lemmy users who don't like the vibes of their instance being hosted on software that was developed by communists?
Just like lemmy.world, piefed is populated by people who just want Reddit 3.0 with their apps and a cop mommy/daddy that prevents them from experiencing cognitive dissonance (when users) or theoretical profit loss (for instance admins).
Maybe? I don't know. If Piefed is doing so well then why does it have 12 donators on its Patreon while Lemmy has 112?
Why aren't all the piefed true believers funding it?
pie
has always seemed astroturfed to me whenever i see losers talking about it.
Maybe, or at the very least the people pushing it are not invested in piefed's success, they are invested in lemmy's end.
There are 3 groups that would astroturf to that end: Feds, fascists, dipshit neoliberals that don't realise they're doing the work of fascists, and corporations with a vested interest in seeing decentralised media fail.
That sounds like 4 but i count the fascists and the neoliberal anticommunists together for obvious reasons.
I actually think corporate wreckers are a strong and under-discussed possibility.
lol i was getting a spanish inquisition sketch vibe
I would not be surprised at all if the project was a fed operation.
Yes.
