Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don’t know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it’s not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I’m being snarky, but that “I’m so mature” bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)
In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.


Piefed was created out of anti-communist ideology. It isn’t very surprising to me how compatible that page is with crypto-fascism and zionism.
It wasn’t.
“Anyone who doesn’t like communism is highly compatible with crypto-fascism and zionism”
I wish I could view the world with a mindset this simple. Everything would be so much easier.
Cool picture!
Its literally the explicit reason for it’s creation, from the dev themselves.
See the other thread already discussing how, no, it’s not.
You’ve been proven wrong, sorry you don’t like that.
No I haven’t. Sorry you don’t like that.
So when you’re given screenshots saying why it was made, has built in limits on leftist communities, and the dev has posted in communtiies that are comfortable with Nazis, what is the take away?
You can literally just read it…
You can literally just read the things you’ve been told and given evidence of…
The developer of Piefed is at least comfortable with the MeanwhileOnGrad use of ‘tankie’. That’s the poster child community of calling anything left of Kissinger a tankie.
I knew rimu was listening to goat and pugjeasus on mwog but didn’t realize rimu was also posting there 🤮🤦
MeanwhileOnGrad, where you’re not allowed to say socialism is good but explicitly comfortable with Nazis
Null also somehow can’t click this link but said that there is no proof about Rimu
Wow I can’t believe Rimu would delete the page, must be the only reason Null doesn’t see it
What link couldn’t I click?
The one in the comment hightlighted in blue.
The one I clicked? And then identified what I believed to be the one Diva was referencing?
a stated goal of the lead developer was preventing ‘tankies’ from wanting to use the software by baking stuff in.
Null is still insisting that’s not the case, Null can’t read I guess.
You haven’t responded to any of my actual points, so yeah, my points still stand. Keep going though, I love the dogpile.
Dogpiling is when you respond to someone online
If you say so.
Dude stop dogpiling me!!! You’re so mean replying to me online!!!
Thaaat’s it. Let it all out, buddy.
I didn’t know all communists were tankies, my bad.
‘tankie’ is routinely used as a pejorative for communists (and anarchists at this point) who aren’t aligned with us imperial ‘foreign policy’
I’m sure you feel that way.
Sir, I have literally no idea who you are. But I’ve seen various mentions of the fact that you’re either an admin or a dev.
Do you genuinely believe this dismissive behavior is going to do you any favors? Because you’re making this look worse.
Skavau acts this way, so I would say they do.
I’m an admin or a dev? That’s news to me…
Good to know that I was mistaken.
i would love to hear your opinion tbh
My opinion of what, specifically?
you seemed very sure of yourself, maybe you should just say what you think instead of being evasive and condescending
Historically, anti-communist movements suffered from from far right or fascist infiltration. The two go together like peas in a pod. It happened for the White Army, it happened for Mussolini’s red threat, and it obviously happened in Germany via fear of bolshevism.
Don’t be surprised if your anti communist page starts attracting right elements.
