A wild lemmygrad appears.
Which instance do you choose as counter?

I actually don't think the Lemmy Platform decentralization is working at all. This is evidenced by the fact that several times the tankie lemmy devs have pushed a top of the site banner to beg for donations to help run Lemmy ml, and most instance owners admit they're not equipped to audit the code and remove it.

I think Piefed is a superior solution for that reason.

to fight like Pokémon

HEXBEAR! I CHOOSE YOU!

USE PIGPOOPBALLS!!!

That's already plural. It's like a hat on a hat.

the astronaut meme but its 'wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?'

lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down and remove the rationalizations, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.

For real. I can't even keep up with what db0's weird ass mod stances are. I just wanna look at memes and chat with people

I feel like this is an overly extreme take. Coming off of being on reddit for years I am astounded on a day to day with just how much I can actually get away with saying on Lemmy and expressing myself here. I find myself continuously reflecting on the fact that even in my most liberal (in the literary sense) takes with others, I'm still holding back, sugarcoating, or discounting things as "worth saying" at least 30% of the time. I don't know what's going on over on piefed, but Lemmy as a whole has been the opposite of authoritarian censorship for me. I've never felt more outspoken in an online presence.

Our admins are lovely but severely overworked. Most admin teams I’ve interacted with are kind but overladen. Some are definitely emotionally stunted but I definitely wouldn’t establish that as a rule

Don't you understand, the Fediverse is serious business!

PPB is "Pig Pooping on Balls." One of hexbear's favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.

So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.

The replies to my comment on that post are my favorite. Truly zero self awareness.

He's the piefed dev.

Piefed is a 1 to 1 replacement for lemmy, compatible with other fediverse things.

I joined a piefed instance specifically to move away from the lemmy devs.

Now it turns out the piefed dev is a petulant fief lord.

The developer of piefed. Tankies hate him for obvious reasons.
