    Sure but PieFed doesn’t seem to have a tankie problem. They’re blocked from what I’ve seen.

    Even if that wasn’t the case, PieFed doesn’t have a reputation for having a tankie problem.

    The bottom line is when I promote PieFed I don’t get people on reddit telling me the UI sucked and that it’s flooded with pro-russia propaganda.

    So I find it more efficient to promote PieFed

      It’s a shame to see that people think of Lemmy creators as some sort of villains.

      I created my account on .ml before the Reddit blackout, but there wasn’t much content there, so I didn’t use it much. I properly started using it after the “Reddit blackout,” and that’s when I learned about the so-called “tankie problem.” I’ve met people with weird opinions, but the developers and Marxists in general aren’t bad people. People just usually make a strawmen to argue against.

      Anyway, none of their opinions are reflected in the software. Lemmy is done in a truly democratic and user-oriented way, and I respect them for it.

        Those guys aren’t Marxists, they’re mentally unstable Americans with a fetish for authoritarianism.

          The Lemmy devs? I’d suggest to read what they actually write. They are good guys.

          I also don’t think it matters. For example, I don’t really like the behavior of the Duckstation dev. It’s a PS1 emulator. But I don’t have to agree with him in order to use it.

      PieFed literally uses a social credit score system and it gets lowered if you post content the Dev doesn’t like. It’s shit. And it’s ugly, people who want a low density enshittified web app interface should be actively filtered out.
