It's time to mass defederate from Lemmy.ml, like Hexbear, they need to be isolated in their own bubble.

Been saying this for atleast a year and nothing has happened.

Yeah, I've only gotten grumbles in response too...This is a serious issue, nobody can simply ignore reality and get away with it.

Can we get a petition going or something? Truly sick of their shit.

LostWanderer@fedia.io · 5 pts · 1y

Promoting a petition that Lemmy as a whole unites against Lemmy.ml might get some traction building. I could only hope that if it succeeded, the mass defederation would begin in earnest.

Dessalines has no shame

Weirdly enough they used to be 15% us state funded before USAID got cut back in Feb - so technically they're not even US funded anymore...

No money for tankie devs!

I hope PieFed isn't being run by tankies. Anyone know? I'd rather switch.

This dipshit is one reason why I won't contribute to LemmyUI like I wanted to.

They're definitely not Tankies, but I don't know of their politics beyond that...as it should be IMO for any project intended to be widely used

About a third of its front page is taken up by banners asking people to donate. Clearly a US state-funded propaganda outlet. 🙃

Technically all US funded media is now russian funded media anyways. All the same group of rich folk.
