Of course it does, Piefed's development as an alternative to Lemmy has always been ideological in nature, wanting to create a platform where the leftists have all been purged.
To be fair, they also asked the question, "What if Lemmy, but with corporate sponsors?"
Yea lmao. Let's reinvent Reddit from the ground-up and learn nothing from its failures.
let's try to emulate their success and also get rich, more like
Wait corporate sponsors? What do you mean? [Genuine]
Radlibbery pushes them off Reddit, be it the weird "Buy European" Euro-nationalists or those that left for the API crisis, etc. Very ill-developed politics, what happens when the system does what it does but you absolutely refuse to join an org and/or read theory with all your heart. Incomprehensible radicalism trapped within the net of liberalism.
Radliberry pie[fed] 🫐🥧
But that sounds yummy
Remember kbin lol
Yea, did that die?
I didn't know about any issues — just assumed it had petered out due to minimal buy in. I'm glad that these projects exist dgmw — the more the merrier — but it did always feel like the pitch was 'Lemmy without tankies' and not much else
That's certainly an interesting perspective, thank you for sharing!
Thanks! Tbf I don't know whether kbin was meant that way, but it was certainly sold that way on Mastodon - at least from what I saw. There was this whole thing where Mastodon liberals started freaking out because they had been recommending Lemmy and then found out it was 'tankie'. Much rending of clothes etc etc
Ah, gotcha. Thanks!
Of course, history tells us that every single time you make a space where leftists aren't welcome, it becomes a 100% nazi space in moments. Then the libs start to wonder why their feed becomes nothing but nazi shit.
