PieFed Meta

I see. I once petitioned Discuss.Online to defederate from both hexbear.net (trolls) and Lemmy.ml (tankies) - and it had already done so from Lemmygrad.ml. Unfortunately, nearly every single instance across the entire Threadiverse federates with lemmy.ml. I think that it should be opt-in for new users, but since those admins are also the main devs for the Lemmy codebase, obviously that will never happen.

Lemmy itself is a Nazi (actually tankie) bar. PieFed is far less so, but still it federates with lemmy.ml so technically we are as well. By virtue of being here you and I are tainted by association with it. But, in this community, both of us on different PieFed instances, not so much?

Db0 more so than most then, since they offered that endorsement and did not subsequently retract it. Also, some instances have switched from Lemmy to PieFed, while they have not. So, they do seem more okay with federating with tankies than most other instances, on the spectrum, I will grant you that.

I understand what you meant about the half pregnant option, and on that I disagree. Someone could have 50% likelihood of being pregnant, or be 50% along the projected timeline (or looking back after birth, someone could more definitively call the 50% progress marker), or weirder effects like a fetus could be stillborn so necrotic tissue exists like a pregnancy, but also is not alive like a pregnancy, so matches in some respects while differing in others. Life is rarely so easily categorized into binary options.

Db0 is not perfect, nor am I or you, but they are a far cry from what lemmy.ml is, which itself is also a far cry from what Lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net are.
