PieFed is seeing quite steady growth, nice to see.

Anyone know what that blip was?

      The OP promoted piefed in like r/buyfromeu, r/degoogle and r/buyfromcanada. They got majorly upvoted and thus directed traffic to here.

          Im kinda surprised to see this “in the wild”.

          Anyone who ever wondered whether there’s any alternative to reddit knows about the fediverse.

        Others have said even mentioning lemmy gets them targeted by administration. Come to think of it, so did I my last new account that only made it less than a week before a violation for something that wasn’t even close to against the rules. But it could be a lot of things with me, I’m rather aggressive on some issues, Israel the big one, but also trashing politicians, none of which is getting tolerated as much anymore. I’m probably on the list of the administration of people to bump off social media. Sounds paranoid but I bet I’m right, but I digress.

            I learned about lemmy on reddit. Maybe everyone is getting targeted for other reasons. One thing is for sure, the administration violations are not always in good faith, not by a long shot.
