Its working guys. The decentralization is working. I for one think its amazing that we've created these little social medias to fight like Pokémon and nobody can stop us.

A wild lemmygrad appears.
Which instance do you choose as counter?
I'll trade you a shiny piefed.zip and one of my quokku's for it. Tryna complete my lemmydex.
I actually don't think the Lemmy Platform decentralization is working at all. This is evidenced by the fact that several times the tankie lemmy devs have pushed a top of the site banner to beg for donations to help run Lemmy ml, and most instance owners admit they're not equipped to audit the code and remove it.
I think Piefed is a superior solution for that reason.
Need to nuke mods all over. Go to 100% community ownership. Why the fuck any lefty accepts mods is beyond me.
Not every person can handle the responsibility of the power to push any content to anyone and everyone, thus mods were born out of necessity. Without them the communities you like would be spammed with at best AI scams begging for money and at worst CSAM so as to make it unusable by the people who disagree with your community.
However, you're 100% able to buy your own hardware, launch your own instance, and start your own community, just as everyone else is.
No. Mods were born out of corporate and political interest to control mass media. Nothing more. Mods are there to convert digital spaces to align with their interest. They're there to prevent people from actually forming another Egyptian spring, wiki leaks, anonymous or anything that could disrupt the current power structure.

medias
That's already plural. It's like a hat on a hat.
Ahem...
I may not always fail to properly trigger transparency, but when I don't, I'll don't it in style.

Lemmy is a lot weirder of a place when you start to realize instances are like virtual nation-states and the admin teams are ALL despotic auth-rulers with the temperaments of toddlers.
are like virtual nation-states and the admin teams are ALL despotic auth-rulers with the temperaments of toddlers
So just like the big ones minus the capitalistic machine...
the astronaut meme but its 'wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?'
lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down and remove the rationalizations, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.
For real. I can't even keep up with what db0's weird ass mod stances are. I just wanna look at memes and chat with people
db0 seems fixated on complex governance arrangements. We get it. You're an anarchist. Amazing.
I'm not even an anarchist, I just wanted a somewhat populated instance with less down time than world. The political ideation of the more hardcore members of db0 certainly seems like a pipedream more than a realistic plan for government (or lack thereof). But hey, I'll take hate for consolidated political power over bootlicking any day.
Our admins are lovely but severely overworked. Most admin teams I’ve interacted with are kind but overladen. Some are definitely emotionally stunted but I definitely wouldn’t establish that as a rule

Lmao. There's so many layers to this.
The replies to my comment on that post are my favorite. Truly zero self awareness.
What's the "PPB" list?
PPB is "Pig Pooping on Balls." One of hexbear's favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.
So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.
This is so on point for hexbear
They don't seem to realize how unhinged they are
Heh, someone downvoted you as if they think you made that up. Can't blame them for that assumption.
🤷 who cares? Obviously it's the list that anyone that dares speak against the CCP goes on
Who's Rimu?
He seems to have made a post admitting he lost control
https://join.piefed.social/2026/05/12/what-worked-at-100-users-broke-at-5000/
He's the piefed dev.
Piefed is a 1 to 1 replacement for lemmy, compatible with other fediverse things.
I joined a piefed instance specifically to move away from the lemmy devs.
Now it turns out the piefed dev is a petulant fief lord.
I should do that as well honesty
As is tradition.
Rimu is GOAT.
The developer of piefed. Tankies hate him for obvious reasons.
It's not like Rimu is helping his situation by making a complete ass of himself as of late.

Okay but this is actually funny.
Like it was a 24hr ban.
But are you like actually complaining about this and not posting it because it’s funny?
Oh, I'm not actually irritated about it, I just couldn't find a better place to post it lol. I got a good laugh about it and I figured posting it somewhere would lead to more laughs from the tankies
There's always !tankiejerk@piefed.social and !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works
Meanwhileongrad! That's what I was trying to think of earlier and I was totally blanking! Thank you!
