PieFed is seeing quite steady growth, nice to see.

Anyone know what that blip was?

I was against any sort of censorship of other groups, until I got a taste of those guys, not just .ml, the worst are hexbear in my experience. The thing is a lot of their users are actually cool, but there is like a hierarchy, it's not a collective so much as a top down operation, with enforcers or sorts. Their users need permission to accept a new theory on something.

But you can have some good conversations, until the enforcers notice you again.

You almost have to cut these guys off, there's a danger doing that to too many groups over disagreements and making echo chambers, but as others pointed out, not defederating has led new users to be chased off the site after being abused by those dickheads.
