Comment on Hexbear is incapable of understanding hypocrisy

  It’s not like Rimu is helping his situation by making a complete ass of himself as of late.

  I figured it was the Piefed or similar creator given the context. Just wasn’t sure. Part of the reason I switched from lemmy world to Piefed social

  • MushuChupacabra@piefed.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I switched specifically because tankies are pissy about piefed.

    I literally wouldn’t have had any interest if not for the one two punch of the above, plus the cunty moderation antics of Dessalines et. al. on .ml.

      Piefed literally has social credit score lol. The dude in charge is a nanny who thinks the users aren’t wise enough to do their own blocking. There’s been a shit ton of drama surrounding that dork in recent weeks, and all he’s done is dig in.

        I would engage with you on your instance, but i appear to have been banned on .ml

        I highly suspect that you will have a long leash here, and will be allowed to say just about whatever you want.

        Consider that the source of your consternation is that you do not appreciate piefed’s Tit, for .ml’s Tat.

        Well, the Lemmy devs have stated that their goal isn’t to design a system that scales well and it shows. Part of it is that there may be a future where there are too many new users for a mod team to handle, especially if the barrier for signing up is extremely low.

    You’d think a bunch of self proclaimed communists would support someone cloning software for free. Hexbear is such a joke.

    • Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Hexbear was a fork of Lemmy that was merged back into the main build, which sh.it.just.works runs on. You are using their cloned software for free right now. That’s obviously not their issue.

        That’s obviously not their issue.

        Perhaps if we were talking about sane individuals with consistent beliefs, but these people are hypocrisy incarnate. Years of being isolated in a cult environment has rotted their brains into what you see here.

    I love the way sometimes it’s “fuck him and everything he stands for!” and other times “damn straight, I stand with him for the things he stands for!”

      Sometimes they claim they stand with X because X opposes Y, but then if anybody mentions all the times X stood with Y and all the times X said things they clearly don’t stand for, then they have no response but “you’ve been brainwashed by the media”.

  That’s probably true, but it’s worth noting that not all of the Rimu controversy is coming from tankies. I’m arguably pretty “moderate” for the fediverse and I and many others like me also find their conduct and software worthy of concern.

  The way I see it, our options are this:

  Lemmy, a neutral software developed and ran by people with some questionable politics that they keep separate from but hosted on Lemmy.

  Or Piefed, a software with ideology built directly into it developed by people with probably much more palatable politics (for me at least) but who believes said politics should be systemic in the fediverse.

  Tbh, I don’t 100% love either of these options, but I have no interest in trading overbearing corporate nannys for a homegrown farm-to-table nanny. I’m an adult, I don’t need or want dictating sensibilities for me.

  So Lemmy it is.
