Right, and the feeling is mutual. I don't think it really matters how Piefed looked, or what it does - many of those users outright oppose any competing platform on the Fediverse because they believe you should help the Lemmy devs instead of making your own. So what's the end-game here?
He's clearly referring to the people who express what he views as bad faith commentary and attacks on his character from those instances and communities.
You keep replying to me. I reply back. I pretty much reply to everyone if I have something else to say so long as you keep replying to me.
Yes, that's exactly it but aimed at anyone who isn't talking to them even if rimu already said screw off to them.
My last point as there's no convincing what appears to be piefeds pr person. Do you think users like this who started another flame war are a good look for piefed?

No, it's not. It's referring to people grievance-mongering about the code and making it their life goal to try and attack piefed - many of whom disagreed with it at the onset.
Did you actually think you were going to somehow convince me to oppose Piefed, or something?
I have no control over someone else advertising the Fediverse purely by means of specifically focusing on Piefed. They didn't start any flame war specifically by doing that.
