Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think. - @PugJesus@piefed.social

I don't think rimu started piefed out of anti tankie sentiment fwiw. He wanted started piefed because he wanted more mod tools and the Lemmy devs were very strict about their architecture.
The mass migration to piefed was absolutely all those "power users" jumping ship at the first chance to virtue signal that they weren't tankies. Despite the Lemmy devs never baking their ideology into the code base beyond the AGPL.
I think he wanted those mod tools to build an even more solid echo chamber though, to better police the tankies. I could be wrong but his behavior since hasn't given me any reason to think otherwise
If you look at the entire body of the weird mod tools he's baked into PieFed. Its clearly more about filtering out what he personally believes is low effort posting instead of just trusting the voting system. IIRC he's never programmed in anything explicitly anti tankie. Instead, you get negative karma for posting a 4chan screenshot, replying with just a gif, or having the username cm0002.
I don't doubt that he's anti tankie but I don't think that's his primary personal motivation. It was absolutely the motivating factor for everyone who jumped on the PieFed bandwagon. But we're just projecting that onto him.
Iirc piefed did block "tankie" instances like here and grad by default, which if I am recalling correctly, would be anti-tankie
