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.

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.

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.
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.
anarcho-pragmatism, lol
this shit seems to suck at least a little bit less than most other shit, therfore, join the anarchist instance
unironically i love this

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
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...

me watching the constant mill of fediverse drama between hexbear/piefed/world/dbzer0 from a tiny irrelevant instance
Does your instance have open signups? I'm pretty tired of the assumptions people make about me due to db0
Can join ours. Not small, but completely neutral - no drama, no defederation, no prejudice towards the users.
Personal choice is paramount here. Crafted with love, peacefully housing people all across the political spectra.

Ah, drama I'm not chronically online enough to understand.
Lemmy is a reddit-style forum framework on the fediverse. People clone a copy and launch their own instances which can communicate with each other, so that no one person can rule over it.
So theres these guys who want China to win a nuclear war and the enslavement of trans people into labor camps, Lemmy ML and Hexbear. They are the Lemmy Developers and all money for lemmy development goes to them.
Then theres this Rimu dude who started development of PieFed which is just another framework to do the same exact thing that Lemmy does and they communicate with each other flawlessly, which makes the Tankies super duper angry because they wanted you to fund their autocratic ideology and help them spread propaganda.
The reason so many people are so involved in this is that you're either on a Lemmy based instance or a PieFed based instance, so this does directly impact everyone here reading this.

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.
Heh, someone downvoted you as if they think you made that up. Can't blame them for that assumption.
This is so on point for hexbear
They don't seem to realize how unhinged they are

🤷 who cares? Obviously it's the list that anyone that dares speak against the CCP goes on
Lmao. There's so many layers to this.
The replies to my comment on that post are my favorite. Truly zero self awareness.
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

It's always fascinating how the debate bros think they're entitled to someone debating them.

Who's Rimu?
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.
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
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.
You'd think a bunch of self proclaimed communists would support someone cloning software for free. Hexbear is such a joke.
I switched for the post combining feature.

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.
As is tradition.
