      Heh they never needed an explicit reason. They hate them that ain’t them. If you criticize or slight the teen edgelords of the vanguard. You’re getting off easy with just hate. They’d do much worse if they had the ability.

        The Triad has been hemming and hawing about the horrible horrible “anti-commie” (it’s not, just anti-tankie/authoritarian) PieFed the past couple of weeks. Which is what I assume led to this new rule here https://feddit.uk/post/44095278 lol

            True true, but that’s just an area of architecture improvement, not some evil master plan LMAO

      AFAIK Piefed also basically hardcoded a block of their instances (this is what I read from one lemmy.ml user who took a look at the code, take that with a grain of salt). Well, I say hardcoded, but it’s python - you can easily change any section of the code, especially one that’s just a list of URLs. But it’s still the default behavior.

        There is a lot of misinformation surrounding that though. For one thing, Lemmy.ml is not defederated by default. Hexbear is, but only if the admin chooses that, hence it is not a “hard-coded setting”, as anyone who knows how an if() statement works would realize. The statements I saw had more lies (whether intentional or otherwise) than truth about them.

        Which is why I personally blocked the entire Lemmy.ml instance - it’s not worth my time sifting through all the huge piles upon piles of disinformation to find tiny little nuggets of truth: I am not that desperate for content.

        It’s a switch that’s presented to the admins as they go through the instance setup process. It’s defaulted to on, but it’s not like it’s even hidden in a setting menu somewhere

        It’s default defederated, but any server can remove them. That’s all.

    I still don’t fully understand why PieFed constantly shits on tankies, while having a social credit score. Nor has anyone explained if you’re allowed to talk about the Hannibal Directive there.

      https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

      I mean, you can take your pick of specific reasoning, but it can be boiled down to tankies are authoritarians and simp for regimes that just slap a communist label on their politics but are authoritarian hell scapes e.g. North Korea

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

      Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
