    That looks like two posts from one user.

    The piefed dev also posts about tankies on MWoG.

    https://piefed.social/c/meanwhileongrad/p/1723607/tankies-celebrating-financial-problems-at-the-un

    So I feel like there’s bad faith enough to go around, (like with anything where ‘tankie’ comes up). The user posting on .ml there was just outright deleted off Piefed by the dev. There’s clearly an ongoing thing with those right now.

      Lemmy != Tankies, Software != People, and Instance != Platform. e.g. you cannot simply delete someone from “Lemmy PieFed”, it would have to be from a specific instance, perhaps PieFed.social?

      Likewise railing against tankies is not the same as hatred vs. a FOSS offering - like, anyone at all could make a fork of the PieFed project and thereby become entirely independent of its original main creator?

      I dunno what to tell you other than FOSS is FOSS. Hate against free software all you like, but at the end of the day it’s still entirely and completely free.🤷
