Never let the reactionaries have pepe. Where will it end.
Yeah I personally never really could get behind the sentiment of “oh the alt right are trying to claim Pepe? Let’s just let them have it I guess”.
Some people want cede everything to the right including voting.
Seriously? What a joke of an instance
Some people don’t like pepe because the media told them it was a far-right dog whistle and associate it with fascism.
I don’t like pepe because I associate it with 4chan.
We are not the same.
Was piefed.social founded by the ADL or what?
Pepe is a commonly used far right dog whistle. Attacking this rule by associating it with zionist far right seems malicious. You sure you’re on the right side of this mate?
Pepe was designated by the zionist ADL as a hate speech symbol. Thats literally all the reason why some people see it as a “far right dog whistle” because it was dragged through the mud by the media. Dont be fooled so easily. Dont let them take your memes.
ADL thrives in a politically polarised landscape where their interests intersect traditional conservatism/liberalism axis. If Pepe is divisive because of an international conspiracy then that’s a done deal already anyway - in this polarised society fascists took it as their heraldic emblem just to spite the libs. If someone decides to self-label with Pepe in today’s world then feigning ignorance isn’t a very convincing excuse to me anymore.
The ADL that said Elon Musk’s Hitler salute was normal, and that calling out Israel’s genocide is antisemitic?
That ADL?
Weird instance rule, but they pay the bills, so whatever?
I never bought into the whole dogwhistle story about it, but I have found that I just don’t mesh well with people who use that meme a lot, so it’s kind of a litmus test when I see someone use it.
Same. My instance has a “no ai” rule which I think is a bit harsh but I still respect.
Most people I know who use pepe are pretty liberal
if its AI posts by AI, i can see that, which is pervasive on reddit.
Nah. It’s AI generated content at all
Well that’s news to me. But then again I hardly post memey things, let alone Pepe.
I think it’s mostly come up as an issue because it’s meant that
piefed.socialdoesn’t federate withlemy.lol(because it uses a Pepe image as its icon), but https://lemmy-federate.com/ useslemy.lolfor back-end operations, so people haven’t been able to add communities onpiefed.socialto it.That is such a fucking joke OMG.
Who unironically think defeding because of an icon is a good idea? Clowns
I feel as though Lemmy federate ought to be able to use multiple instances for its back-end operations. Relying on a single instance is somewhat at odds with the spirit of decentralization.
@iso@lemy.lol Thoughts?
Actually, Lemmy Federate is not tied to lemy.lol since this update: https://lemy.lol/post/46419115
Piefed.social should decide if they want to add their instance to the Lemmy Federate. I’m not blocking anyone. In fact, there are already two Piefed instances registered to Lemmy Federate. But these instances are using generic ActivityPub client instead of specialized clients unlike Lemmy and Mbin instances.
I’m not against Piefed but I’m not gonna work for a Piefed specific code either for reasons you can imagine.
Thank you for sharing
I think I somewhat get it but tbh that flew past my head, sorry.
Well the owner of lemmy-federate isn’t going to add piefed onto lemmy-federate if piefed has defederated from their instance
Please see this because that’s not the case: https://lemy.lol/comment/20647547
I hope this has another reason besides giving in to clown decisions made about instance icons…
Of course not. I made this change to make the whole fediverse compatible with Lemmy Federate, not just Piefed.
Damn, no AstralSpiff videos of p.s.
