Heh they never needed an explicit reason. They hate them that ain't them. If you criticize or slight the teen edgelords of the vanguard. You're getting off easy with just hate. They'd do much worse if they had the ability.
What did I miss?
The Triad has been hemming and hawing about the horrible horrible "anti-commie" (it's not, just anti-tankie/authoritarian) PieFed the past couple of weeks. Which is what I assume led to this new rule here https://feddit.uk/post/44095278 lol
that post was made after there were many posts either dunking piefed or lemmy, and us mods were drowning, so locked those posts, and then i asked other mods if we should add the rule to prevent thaat, and they agreed
You have to admit some of the backend logic, especially around voting, is really poor.
True true, but that's just an area of architecture improvement, not some evil master plan LMAO
AFAIK Piefed also basically hardcoded a block of their instances (this is what I read from one lemmy.ml user who took a look at the code, take that with a grain of salt). Well, I say hardcoded, but it's python - you can easily change any section of the code, especially one that's just a list of URLs. But it's still the default behavior.
It's a switch that's presented to the admins as they go through the instance setup process. It's defaulted to on, but it's not like it's even hidden in a setting menu somewhere
It's default defederated, but any server can remove them. That's all.
There is a lot of misinformation surrounding that though. For one thing, Lemmy.ml is not defederated by default. Hexbear is, but only if the admin chooses that, hence it is not a "hard-coded setting", as anyone who knows how an if() statement works would realize. The statements I saw had more lies (whether intentional or otherwise) than truth about them.
Which is why I personally blocked the entire Lemmy.ml instance - it's not worth my time sifting through all the huge piles upon piles of disinformation to find tiny little nuggets of truth: I am not that desperate for content.
I mean Lemmy also has support?

Though not as far along
Volunteers indeed have translated join-lemmy and the engine itself, but from what I've seen, Lemmy developers have never turned on Ukrainian in either codebase, unlike other languages with similar completion rate, which means any instance admin willing to use the translation has to fork, patch and rebuild to add the support. Technically, PieFed 1.6.x still hasn't the translation-enabling commit cherry-picked from main, either, but 1.7 should have it if minor versions begin as branches off main.
It's been a pretty heroic effort from @nykula@piefed.social. Really well done and much appreciated.
Slava Ukraini!
I still don't fully understand why PieFed constantly shits on tankies, while having a social credit score. Nor has anyone explained if you're allowed to talk about the Hannibal Directive there.

I mean, you can take your pick of specific reasoning, but it can be boiled down to tankies are authoritarians and simp for regimes that just slap a communist label on their politics but are authoritarian hell scapes e.g. North Korea
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
Yes, okay, so why include a social credit score in PieFed? One of the main things communist China is critized for. It seems to me like one of the main reasons lemmy was created was to get away from the social credit score/karma idealogy, so why include it in PieFed? You still can't talk about the Hannibal Directive to me, huh? Another critique of mine about PieFed. Seems to be an Israel supremacist instance, where you can't even discuss Israelis own Reichstag fire event that got Jews to support a genocide against a semite population.

Can you seriously not see the difference between a government implementation of it on its citizens, tied to their real world semi-permanent identities and has the power to arrest, jail or otherwise "make silent" based on said scores...and a social media app tied to pseudo-anonymous user handles as a tool to ease the already thankless burden of volunteer moderation with 0 real-world consequence should you run afoul of it? Or are you just trolling?
Probably trolling considering you're from the exploding heads-light instance lmao
Are you aware there are shit ton of metric ranking systems out there in the world? Are they all social credit scores? Man hope you don't find out about how internet routing protocols like BGP decides on routes LMAO

Irrelevant to the conversation at hand, we're talking about the server software at hand, not the namesake instance itself
The social score on PieFed is for the purpose of "make silent" any criticism, especially when, coming to my other point, which yes, was always part of the conversation, is criticism towards a supremists idealogy that carried out a false flag and is committing a genocide against a semite population. And you keep bringing up how internet and social media works, and I keep trying to explain to you that the point of inception of lemmy is to be different, so when you create something that's like other social media sites, and include a social credit score to silence dissent, while also shit talking the same people that are famous for a social credit score, you see how that comes across? October 7th was a false flag, where Israel killed a bunch of the people at the music festival, in order to rile Jews up to commit a genocide against a semite population. You would think that after the Reichstag fire event, and the Holocaust, Jews wouldn't fall for this shit. It took Germans like 4 years to attempt Operation Valkyrie, and it took Americans 6 years before they elected a black guy with a Muslim name who ran on ending the Iraq/Afghanistan war, only to continue them, and start 5 more new ones. I honestly thought Jews were smarter than that, if for nothing, but from experience.
