I’ve seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What’s happening?

    I mean, if they all want to move to Russia or North Korea or China, go right ahead, I am not stopping anyone from chasing their bliss. Perhaps I should note that they will end up as fodder for a warlord’s lust for conquest, but at the end of the day that is not my call to make as to what to do with your lives.

    But damnit I would like to have some tint amount of control about what to do with my own! Including the ability to block them, if I happen to want that. I almost left Lemmy over precisely this issue, preferring instead to simply read books offline than to have to wade through endless immature eternity of September crap. Fortunately, that’s exactly when PieFed started coming up, offering an alternative besides Mbin, and which now offers a heck of a lot more features than either of them.

          I’m an anarchist, these days ‘tankie’ is just an epithet used by campist liberals towards ‘disloyal’ communists and anarchists at home.

          There’s a twisted irony that the so-called’tankies’ are the ones most opposed to america sending in the tanks

            No…no it’s not. You tankies are called that because you eat propaganda from authoritarian regimes in the name of communism. You’re just maga with a hammer and sickle logo
