    It feels like most of the Fediverse is in Schengen Area. Then hexbear and lemmy.ml are like Russia and Belarus.

      i’ve felt the same way except i see lemmy.world like the usa, manufacturing consent and peddling propaganda on the lemmyverse with vassal instances like sopuli and shitjustworks benefiting from it like the vassal states of western europe have done; a lot like how the prime minister of canada explained it recently.

      confirmed emails from the ghislaine maxwell case that the isreali oligarchy had been “managing narratives” on reddit in a similar way to that of the epstein illuminati controlled 4chan’s /poll/ with things like qanon & pizzagate makes me feel like i’ve dodged a bullet by staying away from both reddit and the diet-reddits of the lemmyverse.

      i fully expect that piefed will be like trump going after greenland and make the people of the vassal lemmy instances realize that their instances will diminish on the lemmyverse like the western europeans will soon realize that their countries will lose prominence on the world’s stage.

      those people will find that they must return to reddit or go to piefed to continue receiving their iv drips of isreali/us misinformation and breads-&-circuses meanwhile the center of the lemmy’s original leftist communities & instances like hexbear will keep on going strong like they have been despite the lemmyverse censure in the same way that china prevailed against the western world’s censure to thrive compared to the declining us empire and it’s vassal states.

            The fundamental flaw in your observation here is that many lemmy instances (and piefed) aren’t exactly US-friendly in the first place and are federated up with every other instance. And many Piefed instances are run by non-Americans anyway.

              the ones that are us-friendly are the lion’s share of the lemmyverse’s userbase and activity.

                This is true (depending on your definition here, we’ll possibly agree to disagree) but piefed existing or not doesn’t change that.

                  whether or not it’s american doesn’t matter. piefed’s creator admited in an interview that one of the driving forces behind creating it was to control “content quality” of the fediverse.

                  this fact combined with w the fediverse’s undeniable leftist leaning makes it clear that this was a dog whistle along the same vein as other dog whistles like “narrative management” and “suppression protocols” that the epstein illuminati spoke about in their emails to each other with respect to reddit, 4chan and several other social media platforms.

                    Controlling “content quality” (you’re likely omitting a lot of context here) has nothing inherently to do with a pro/anti-american dichotomy.

                    Sorry, are you suggesting that rimu is some kind of secret state plant?
