Kaity has just spun up a PieFed instance, which is open to anyone that wants to try it out.
PieFed is part of the “Threadiverse” along with lemmy and mbin. If you are already reading this in lemmy, then you already know what PieFed is about.
If you’re curious to try it out, or if you’re just looking for a way to avoid lemmy, you can find it at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/
Like our lemmy instance, we have set PieFed applications to require manual approval, but if you’re already a member of our lemmy instance, you can get auto approved by our modbot by quoting your registration code somewhere in your application.
Isn’t run by tankies
I get that whole thing but like…you don’t feel the tankie presence much, if ever, outside of ml/lemmygrad/hexbear. They just build lemmy. Like beehaw? Blahaj? Those aren’t run or influenced by tankies.
He also asked for the functional differences. Ideology didn’t really seem that relevant
Yeah, I don’t necessarily have to like the people who build the software I use. I don’t like MS or Cisco, but I’ve built a career on their work and I’m fine with that.
Not gonna use it then
I’m out of the loop a bit. I know basically what tankies are, but I’m dumb.
Can somebody tow me in to the conflict that I’ve been seeing around between tankies and… Everybody else? Because I find it hard to believe that tankies really are just fascists but for liberal values in the most extreme way. Maybe I don’t totally understand the depths of how it works and the implications, and the issues that liberals but non tankies take with…tank…ie…ism…(?) (Authoritarian left?)
Like maybe people just want liberal values and want it to be more ensured that conservativism can’t be as insidious, but don’t ACTUALLY want to murder and eliminate a bunch of people to do it?
Are there any mature, rational, honest, good faith, and genuine discussions that I can look at or briefly be explained that also won’t start a bunch of conflict in this post?
MaybeJust pm me.
