PieFed was developed by an anti-communist that abhored the views of Lemmy's communist developers, and so decided to make a rather shoddy clone of Lemmy with new anti-features like a social credit score. People go to PieFed because it is either a protest against communism, or because they need specific tools PieFed has that Lemmy currently does not.
That was the vibe I got, but I wasn't sure and some people are writing about it, like it is lemmy 2.0. Most of the /c/ seems pretty much like Lemmy or maybe Reddit back in the day, but from time to time weird stuff pops up. Like tankie jerk. And well, I asked them to define tankie and won a free ban :)
Congrats!
Thank you. I only wish I had gotten an answer. I still don't know what it means. I suppose it's like woke for conservatives. And I do visit the two T-34's on the memorial for the fallen soviet troops in Berlin when I get the chance. I mean I am easily a tankie in their opinion, but I will ask for a definition everytime I hear the word
Yep, it's basically a pejorative for communist.
