    I love how they are they are hating piefed’s growth.

    sh.itjust.works needs to get a piefed instance.

    It’s honestly a lot more nicer than Lemmy, even if we ignore that Lemmy’s developers are demagogues who support genocidal imperialism.

    And it seems piefed.social is under a DDoS attack, I wonder who is responsible…

    “The Free Open Source Software that has no for-profit funding or monetization mechanisms is clearly a pro-capitalist haven.”

    Tankie talking about Piefed

    Such projection.

    If you’re a tankie visiting this community, come and post! You won’t be banned

      Are you sure about that? I do hope you ban people equating the holocaust and the Uyghur genocide (or the holodomor, or the disenfranchisement of other non-Han chinese peoples and cultures, or …) to a piece of bird shit.

        Honestly, they get downvoted and mocked into oblivion, while simultaneously demonstrating the purpose of this community. Why ban them?

          Why ban them?

          Because lies spread by their repetition, not their quality. Same as advertisements.

          If tankie fuckwits were out in every comment section here playing their greatest hits, it would create an environment of hostility towards NON-genocidal users as well as normalizing their rhetoric being expressed in decent places.

          As I understand it, Goat only bans for explicit misinformation and the like.

            I only ban if they’re legitimately trolling, spamming silly images, and pinging random people, then pretending they never pinged them.

            Tankies know they can come into this community and do as you described, but they don’t, since they know they’re wrong and will be proven wrong. They can’t risk their usual talking points being countered without a tankie mod banning the person countering.

            In other communities, I’d agree. In a community dedicated to exposing their lies? I think I see it as a “give them enough rope to hang themselves” situation.

            Though I absolutely take your point.

        Yeah I rarely ban users, you can check out modlog if you’re unsure.

        I don’t ban tankies who rarely wander into here because if I do, their claims of this being an echo-chamber become true.

          I didn’t mean to say that you ban people excessively. Anyway, your reasoning seems fair :)

      It’s so bizarre. They’re so deep in the campist nonsense they can’t admit there are bad examples of communism.
