It's incredible how much language they co-opt from the alt-right, specifically calling anyone who opposes them as a fed or a shill. Horseshoe theory and all

Two sides of the same shitty authoritarian coin.

And a special hello to Ensign_Crab, who can't stay away from playing defense for tankies 😘

I'm more partial to sethescope theory.

Or if someone uses a political compass, then it is a trapezoid with absolute far left authoritarianism being just auth center and supposed ancaps being just economically far right.

Ensign Crab?

Iirc, isn't PieFed made from scratch though? If anything, both are inspired by Reddit, so saying it's a fork of Lemmy wouldn't be a form of "appropriation"? (is that the word?)

I can't think of the word, but I know what you mean, and I agree.

I think it's more likely plain ideocy in not knowing what a fork is. They just think that since piefed has similar enough features it had to have been based on Lemmy

I don't really know what tankies means and im too afraid to ask

The kind of people who support Stalin and other such dictators, so long as the dictators proclaim themselves "leftist" in the state propaganda.

It's nice and all that I live rent-free in your head, but I don't think anyone deserves to live in something so reprehensibly genocidal.

It’s nice and all that I live rent-free in your head,

lmao

Is that what you call it when someone notices your actions?

That's what I call obsessing about me like you did here.

That’s what I call obsessing about me like you did here.

So obsessing is what you call it when someone notices your actions? lmao.

Just saying, if I want to badmouth you, I do it to your face.

lmao

isn't lemmy open-source and forkable? like they released it for people to fuck with

Yes, but afaik the only threadiverse software that is a fork of a previous project is Mbin (specifically forked from the defunct Kbin). Lemmy, Friendica and Piefed are, to my knowledge, all forum softwares made from scratch, therefore independent from one another, all implementing ActivityPub in a way that make them work as thread posts and thus federating with each other.
