    You claimed that Lemmy.ml is not authoritarian, were pointed to multiple communities pointing out thousands of instances where it was shown that it is, and still claimed that it is not, nor can be by definition, which you later recanted as a poor wording choice…

    Anyway, that was a discussion with one single individual, with almost no up or downvotes that I could see, so essentially a private conversation even if held in a public space. And the individual you conversed with has only a six month old account, has nothing to do with the admin or development team that I am aware of, and mods only a few gaming communities.

    That’s not “people”, that’s one person, singular, who has nothing to do with the info community, and I definitely did not see the “bunch of people accusing” you.

    Anyway this post was intended as lighthearted fun, though it seems to have struck quite a nerve. Maybe it’s because people on lemmy.ml are calling for literal murder and the downfall of Western civilization (go see for yourself, or e.g. those communities you were referred to catalog such cases if you want an easier time going straight to it), and Lemmy.ml and the Lemmy source code are becoming increasingly interlocked over time, rather than lessening that decency.

      That’s not the only account I had where people from piefed pointed me toward those coms and claimed lemmy.ml is authoritarian. By definition, it’s not.

      I didn’t recant a word choice, I was being diplomatic after the person I was debating with took a (fair) issue with it. I find it hard to believe you looked at that whole thread and that’s what you got out of it. I stand by everything I’ve said, even if I’ve had to make the occasional apology, on every account — That’s why I’m transparent about all my accounts in my bio, the place you found my piefed.

      And, I mean, why so serious? My nerves are aren’t struck, which is why I said I support piefed. Going through my history and writing an essay about it, on the other hand…
