I hope PieFed isn't being run by tankies. Anyone know? I'd rather switch.
This dipshit is one reason why I won't contribute to LemmyUI like I wanted to.

Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

They're definitely not Tankies, but I don't know of their politics beyond that...as it should be IMO for any project intended to be widely used
PLEASE defederate from the tankie sealions. Engaging with them is beyond painful and they should have no power here to continue to push normal people away from the fediverse.
Weirdly enough they used to be 15% us state funded before USAID got cut back in Feb - so technically they're not even US funded anymore...
About a third of its front page is taken up by banners asking people to donate. Clearly a US state-funded propaganda outlet. 🙃
It's time to mass defederate from Lemmy.ml, like Hexbear, they need to be isolated in their own bubble.
Dessalines has no shame
No money for tankie devs!
