And the unnatural and extremely sudden increase in mentions - over just the last week or so, it’s gone from Piefed almost never being mentioned anywhere to it being mentioned in hundreds if not thousands of threads a day. That also makes me suspicious.

It was gaining momentum anyway, but the big reason was the collapse of lemm.ee - which held many medium-sized communities having to find a new home. A lot (not all) chose piefed.

Piefed isn’t a centralised system itself. There isn’t just one Piefed instance.

That’s a strange comparison. I imagine someone who objects to the politics of the lemmy developers would also object to similar political expression said by anyone.

is there a piefed promo based community?
