when piefed was publicly released there was a concerted effort to flood lemmy federated platforms. People were writing, now obvious, LLM generated comments about how much better piefed was over lemmy.

I even went as far as to call piefed a cult with how viciously piefed users “defended” piefed.

I warned people that the movements seemed unusual for a new platform and more like a hostile takeover. I was downvoted and told to stfu.

so here we are today. I’m not entirely sure why a social media platform would want to do what piefed is doing other than just attempting to fracture and destroy the federation.
