can we shout out to the fediverse developers, for making the fediverse possible

this is literal misinformation
Be more specific, and please link explicit examples with sources, instead of using thought terminating phrases that your owner taught you when something clashes with their programming.

People are upset when the find out the Lemmy lead devs are like straight up authoritarian communists.
Mostly Third-Way-Reddit-liberal refugees who don’t realize they’re not progressive just because Fox News calls thier party “radical socialist leftists” constantly, these are the same people screeching that America only votes for leftists for Senate some places because there wasn’t another choice and that what b the country really wanted was moderate Dems.
Also the Piefed devs; didn’t they get caught hardcoding a block list into Piefed or something? I know there was a lemmy front end that did that (Tesseract; I made the list yay!) but not long after that Piefed got caught doing something similar but I don’t recall exactly what it was; all I remember was that I decided I no longer trust Piefed and I won’t use it. Shit I’ll try and search it and see if I can come up with a better answer
Piefed dev for involved in a disagreement about something, made a post explaining how correct they were, and deleted responses from the b other parties involved.
I don't remember the details but it's not constructive to a healthy community.

just duckduckgo it
1: the word "tankie" was made by reformist communistsm not nazis
2: you have a million pieces of evidence about the tanks killing normal people
3: and no, Democracy is a real thing, and capitalism can be regulated with rules (Genius for your chicken strips brain, but not for me), most of the EU is an example
4: there is no thought in communism, communism is the most vague thing on earth, it cannot pair with democracy since it's so vague
your odor lingers on

Fortunately, piefed’s controversial feature was a checkbox in the settings that an admin can easily toggle on/off, unlike Tesseract that had a hidden hardcoded list. And as you are probably aware, our .zip admin gives us users the autonomy to block stuff ourselves, so that wasn’t really that big of an issue.

Well, the lemmy devs are transphobic and the piefed dev Rimu is a bit of a jerk with additional accusations of a censorship list after a huge blowup surrounding a front-end called tesseract. There's other posts about it there during that same time frame.
It's a big reason I switched to quokka.au as it uses a fork of piefed called PyLova which I find to be stable and good and the developer is way nicer.
I've the accusation about transphobia before, but never seen a link. In the link you provide there is a lot of talk about transphobia. Some ragebating and people saying one of the devs is a transphobe. But I don't see a dev saying something transphobic in the first 50 posts I read. I am a communist. I left .world for .ml because of them blocking hexbear. I do however also find transphobia highly problematic

Answered in the First link, calling the CGRB 'reformist communists' is the same as calling nazis 'reformist socialists' because they have socialist in the name.
you have a million pieces of evidence about the tanks killing normal people
No, you don't. In fact, you don't have a single one, because that was never the claim for Tiannamen square. The tanks sheltered the soldiers from gunfire during the rebellion. This is answered in the second link.
and no, Democracy is a real thing,
Correct, and all forms of socialism have democracy built in, as socialism is democracy applied to the economy.
and capitalism can be regulated with rules (Genius for your chicken strips brain, but not for me), most of the EU is an example
The same EU that uses slave labor for most of its wealth? [1]
Regulated capitalism still requires exploitation in order to function, because it is still capitalism, which is exploitative by nature.
there is no thought in communism
There's more thought in communism than there is in capitalism, as communism is based on the scientific method, and capitalism is built on the idea some people are born better than others. [2]
your odor lingers on
I hope you realize your place and the fact you will never be a capitalist. Education is free and easy these days.

LOL.
You might want to take a closer look at the Lemmy dev before getting too excited.
There was some drama with piefed dev too recently. Seems like loads of fediverse projects are run by weirdos.
Most cool things are the product of weirdos.
-
So a few corrections:
-
They're not tankies.
-
Being a 'Tankie,' isn't a bad thing, it's being anti-nazi. The Term was invented by nazis, to criticize the soviet union crushing a nazi uprising with tanks, barely a decade after they won WWII.
-
The tanks in Tiannamen square were the good guys. Objectively so. Maybe don't root for the CIA?
Please be smarter than you are. The people that own every aspect of your life are obviously going to lie to you to keep you under their ownership. It takes very little to debunk their lies.
False:
- "Tankie" was coined by orthodox communists to describe and criticize party members who supported the Soviet Union's use of military tanks to brutally crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. And, since you really love sources,
The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defence of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
2. The Tiannamen Square protests are led by a vast majority of students. Reading the article you cited, it states: "...and are clear that the "protesters" (rioters) initiated the deadly violence in Beijing (none of which occurred in Tiananmen Square itself)." You can see that this mofo denies the massacre happening because it literally didn't happen in the Square (true, but a non-sequitur). Secondly, that the protestors initiated the violence. The protests were peaceful, until the Chinese government declared martial law and ordered thousands of People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops into Beijing.
3. Sure. The article is fucking misleading. Let's assume it is right, and even then, your (3) is yet again a non-sequitur: because the protestors initiated the violence does not make the massacre justified. -

Lemmy devs aren't communists, they're state capitalists. The difference is they support the state, and Karl Marx said it's not communism if there's a state.
Piefed didn't hardcode a blocklist, that was a hoax. There's an auto-federation tool that only admins can use, and it has optional limits on what communities it auto-imports. People took screenshots of that code and lied that it was a blocklist.

1: of course your using 3 links referening to communist newspapers and others (what did i expect), Having No Evidence
2: go to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre#Citations, then look and read them all (the ones written in english)
3: no all communist and socialist countries, are not actual democracies in being free
4: there is no evidence with the EU encouraging any form of slave labor, that wasn't in the 1700s, and also many of those companies that exploit are likely gonna become illegal by some day
5: then why are all those soviet union countries and china and communist nations, exploit people, kill them, and many more, if there was thought in it, none of that would happen
6: your fart lingers on
7: communism hides the issues with its economy, capitalism doesn't

Hi, my two sources directly answer your CIA propaganda and debunk it.
Thanks for proving your illiteracy.
Hi, yes. One of your sources, Hampton Think, is a leftist "proletariat" (self-described; on Hampton Think's about page). They are an open platform with no fact checking, so:
- Not only are you citing a leftist source, which, saying this by itself, is an ad hominem
- And they have no fact-checking or peer review
- You are using it to justify anti-capitalist and pro-socialist ideologies. This is circular logic; using anti-capitalist cherry-picked proof to reinforce your anti-capitalist ideology.

Nah, I know a bunch of the people on that ban list and they all spread the hoax claiming that Piefed has a hardcoded block list.
See, the censorship list you're talking about doesn't exist. It just blocked auto-import by admins of communities with certain words in the name. So it only affected admins, not users. If you're not an admin, it didn't affect you. I'm an admin, I unchecked the box because I knew what I was doing.

Addendum:

My bad for using the r-word for offended folks; it was in the heat of the moment

Well if I'm wrong about how that list worked then I apologize but Rimu also supposedly took code from the fork and failed to attribute it until he was called out about that too. It wasn't only the blocking thing that upset me, it was also the code misappropriation and the childish ban spree.

PieFed only adds those checkboxes (multiple times now) after huge complaints from users.
The dev is an authoritarian liberal who thinks the best way to run the Fediverse is their way and everyone must accept that.

There's a screen shot of what Nutomic said in the post I linked.

You can literally see the screenshot where they say being transgender is actually a bourgeoisie conspiracy. Like full on denying trans people’s lived experiences for thousands of years, and in the same breath pretending people like Elon and JK Rowling aren’t pushing transphobia.
