We have launched a PieFed instance!

I really want to use Piefed, but Voyager app is so, so good
Hopefully voyager dev takes a look at piefed integration. I would absolutely love to get back to voyager but for me getting away from lemmy was more important than sticking to voyager.
Why
Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintained. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I'm done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers
100%. Not just controversial but childish. It’s completely poetic karma that they’ve become a minority in their own network. Repeating the same patterns that got them exiled elsewhere. Basically doing it all again. Having learned nothing.
What was your concern with lemmy.ml?
They’ve got a lot of genuine tankies on there, and not just the „West is bad“ kind, but also a lot of „The Russian invasion of the Ukraine is justified and the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen“

Thank you. I need to find new instance for myself because lemme.ee. can you tell me why you chose blahaj.zone? I don’t want to support Russia in any way or form. It should be boycotted.

But I also think that crony capitalism will be our downfall. I try to reduce my reliance on US-based products, serviced and culture. Especially, on giants like google, disney, MS, etc. Boycotting US until they rethink they approach to allies like Canada, EU and Ukraine is also called for.

If you don’t mind, what would you recommend to someone who would like their revolution with no gulags?

I’m new to this as well, I just chose this instance to switch to (also from lemm.ee) because I’m queer and knew this instance did a good job keeping out assholes.

In general I think most instances on here are leftist or at least left-leaning. The general recommendation for lemm.ee users is currently lemmy.zip, if you want a dedicated political instance I only know of the anarchist lemmy.dbzer0.com (though they are too defensive of genAI for my taste) and the European Federalist feddit.org.

This thread has more recommendations by more experienced users

I’ll look into it. Appreciate your time, thank you. I’m going to search “what instance would Brannan Lee Mulligan choose” and see where this get me ;) see you on the other side.
they are basically pro-ccp, russia, and most authotarian in nature, much like lemmygrad, and hexbear.
