Brociopathic Mendencies (@jackdaw_ruiz@normal.style) says "i am no longer saying the fediverse is like email. from now on the fediverse is a lot that turkish neighborhood of uncompleted mini-castles. it was supposed to be one beautiful-but-unrealistic thing, and instead it's a different broken-and-hilarious thing, and if anyone lives there you have to assume they were driven into the hills for being unable to exist in polite society.". The post is illustrated by a photo of that neighbourhood

This is true (depending on your definition here, we'll possibly agree to disagree) but piefed existing or not doesn't change that.

    whether or not it's american doesn't matter. piefed's creator admited in an interview that one of the driving forces behind creating it was to control "content quality" of the fediverse.

    this fact combined with w the fediverse's undeniable leftist leaning makes it clear that this was a dog whistle along the same vein as other dog whistles like "narrative management" and "suppression protocols" that the epstein illuminati spoke about in their emails to each other with respect to reddit, 4chan and several other social media platforms.

    whether or not it’s american doesn’t matter. piefed’s creator admited in an interview that one of the driving forces behind creating it was to control “content quality” of the fediverse.

    Controlling "content quality" (you're likely omitting a lot of context here) has nothing inherently to do with a pro/anti-american dichotomy.

    this fact combined with w the fediverse’s undeniable leftist leaning makes it clear that this was a dog whistle along the same vein as other dog whistles like “narrative management” and “suppression protocols” that the epstein illuminati spoke about in their emails to each other with respect to reddit, 4chan and several other social media platforms.

    Sorry, are you suggesting that rimu is some kind of secret state plant?

    it's odd that you keep bringing back this pro/anti-american dichotomy when i've already asserted that that 1) it has little to do w united states and 2) leftism defines the fediverse (which almost completely lacking in the united states, but this is a digression).

    despite his faults, chomsky already explains why plants are unnecessary (credit due to @davel@lemmy.ml for making me aware of this video).

    tldr of the video is that the ruling classes further along the careers and efforts of those that are already ideologically aligned or beneficial to them. the epstein illuminati reveled in their ability to do this on a global scale in the files and used phrases like "narrative management" when discussion platforms like reddit.

    What specifically did Rimu mean by "content quality" then?

    I don't see what this has to do with Rimu specifically.

    rimu's efforts have been furthered along on reddit (like the epstein illuminati admitted to doing) and the most prominent endorsements for the fediverse on reddit now exclude the lemmyverse.

    that combined with the dog whistle and with the fact that piefed explicitly bans leftists phrases and prominently leftist lemmy instances like hexbear in its source code leads to the conclusion the rimu is either a rightist or the kind of moderate that both trump and kamala harris were trying to get to vote for them.

    you mean someone advertised Piefed on r/degoogle and r/buyfromcanada and r/buyfromeu?

    What phrases?

    Rimu is probably more 'moderate' than hexbear, sure. So? Although he's definitely anti-Trump and likely on the left of the wider Democrat party. (Although he's also from New Zealand, so this isn't especially relevant anyway)

    What specifically did Rimu mean by “content quality” then?

    the epstein files show how almost meaningless it means to be anti-trump and; unfortunately for you; i'm not part of any marxist vanguard so i didn't keep receipts of my homework for your benefit, but i'd like to believe that i am a leftist so i will try.

    in full candor: these questions are starting to feel like the same sort of sealioning that i experienced during the election, so i will provide those receipts when it's convenient for me to do so or (better yet) you could do your own homework since rimu's interviews are freely available on youtube (assuming that they haven't been removed); the source code is available at its repository websites (assuming the pertinent commits haven't also been removed); and you expand your search beyond those subreddits that you identified.

    alternatively, you can find a way to subscribe to hexbear's feed and simply stumble upon these revelations and then confirm them for yourself like i did; whether or not you chose to do this will confirm my sealioning inkling and have weight on how soon i will start to collect those homework receipts for you.

    I would wager I interact with him more than you do, for context.

    I know what he means by content quality.

    then it sounds like you've already made up your mind and your intent was to sealion.

    I was seeing if you were going to spread conspiracy theories about a guy who has no connections to any 'elite' just because he finds hexbear/lemmygrad toxic.

    He's from NZ. I doubt much of anything about US politics endears to him.

    thanks for confirming that my spidey senses were right about your intentions and i struggle to understand why you keep trying bring this back us politics when the epstein files make it clear this is a global effort.

    i'm also struggling to understand you insist that there must a connection between him and ruling class when both I and chomsky have explained that no direct connection to the ruling class is necessary (and in fact detrimental).

    I still fail to see what this at all has to do with Rimu specifically or even slightly. By your standards anyone who does anything that somehow inhibits hexbear/lemmygrad indirectly or directly (or spaces like them) is a part of that "global effort".

    He just thought Lemmy was lacking, in various ways, and made his own platform.

    the chomsky video explains what little relationship exists between rimu and the ruling class and more than one thing can be true at the same time.

    Again, it's just "anyone that disagrees with communism and does something that indirectly impedes it (or an organ of it, in this case) is a part of the global effort" to target it" or something. All it really does is suggest that communism (at least how you view it in application), globally, is just not that popular.

    Also, what "leftist phrases" are banned here exactly?

    the emails in the epstein files made it clear that all forms of collectivism (including communism) were a priority for the epstein illuminati and they specifically engaged in "suppression protocols" on multiple social media platforms including reddit. the epstein files also prove that they're willing to engage with and promote social media platforms that are ideologically aligned with their goals like the did with 4chan. those two established facts combined with chomsky's conclusions and piefed's relatively very sudden growth and political disposition are the evidence that support my assertion.

    and globally speaking: "chinamaxxing" does enough to show how popular communism is with those of us who are lucky enough not to be sufficiently indoctrinated by the epstein illuminati & co's gobal efforts.

    So what does that have to do with Piefed or rimu?

    Any evidence of a connection here with that and Piefed?
