So wait, is this just people through Piefed, or does this encompass Lemmy and like the other members of the fediverse?

Sorry for the dumb question, I’m from Reddit and tbh don’t quite understand this service.

I am a refuge from reddit, as I understand it, incompletely, lemmy is it’s own thing, piefed is a new one, with some differences in moderation and moderator tools. Lemmy has a lot of tankie influence is a big factor, communists, they are kind of dicks, to put it lightly.

I think there is a third one too, they can all talk to each other on here.

This is why I’ve moved away from Lemmy and now do my monthly donations to Piefed.

My first account on my first day or so I said something on one of their threads, thinking they were just super politically correct leftists, and they jumped all over me. Followed me around for months, the entire time I was on that instance really, some made non tankie instance accounts just to troll me. Pathetic really, but I got sick of it, I can give better than they can but I don’t want to get in pissing matches with trolls all the time.

They’ve actually never followed me out of their echo chambers I think because the light it bright and it hurts their eyes.

You see, I didn’t know they were communists, so didn’t see why they would be offended by my comment, so defended it, like 50 replies if not more to hundreds of people jumping on my shit, until one of the cool ones explained to me they were communists mostly living outside the US, so I started ignoring them. But one of their enforcer types demanded I apologize and I told him to eat a dick or something, so that didn’t help.

They’re not communists, they’re Stalinists. Communism is a stateless, moneyless, classless society. They want the people’s authoritarian regime to step on their necks with the people’s boot.

Making distinctions between Stalinists and Trotskyists or Second Internationalists or whatever is just idiotic sectarianism. Trump is the president! We need to unite rather than focus on such petty squabbles.
