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

This is wrong on a lot of levels, it’s hard to begin where.
PieFed is genuinely one of the biggest ruiners of an alt of reddit.
Instead of using one good software, Rimu felt it was important to make a platform that’s slower, ruined by horrid code, and then also act like a dictator while playing dumb.
PieFed is the biggest laugh on Activity Pub for a reason.
wow, look at that!
the thing I complained about came true.
piefed was just a grift to kill federation.
