"Anticommunists" aka people who dare to be critical of Russia and China
Putin's Russia is a nationalist and imperialist state. The Russian army has committed countless war crimes in Ukraine.
The PRC is an authoritarian state with a deeply corrupted party, extreme capitalist culture, and very little regards for individual privacy or rights. It is also engaged in homogenization campaigns suppressing the social and cultural identities of Uyghur people, constituting an ethnocide.
PieFed is promoted by people claiming they want to take influence away from the tankies who support Russia and the PRC. But from the hardcoded behavior discussed in this very thread we can see the PieFed's devs and promoters intend to suppress criticisms against the (countries|institutions|capitalists) who they support, even though these entities have committed no less evil than Russia and the PRC.
Does that satisfy you?
We'll see if I get banned from .ml now (not being snarky. i genuinely am curious to see if they will ban me).
+10 piefed social credit
Communists are quite critical of China and Russia, we just base those criticisms in reality instead of wild US imperial propaganda. What you've said is no different from when a right winger says "I was banned for a simple difference of opinion." What's the opinion? What's the "criticism"? Because if it's something absurd and offensive with no basis in fact, of course you're going to get pushback. People whose ideology puts a premium on factual analysis and verification tend not to appreciate it when people whose ideology depends on maintaining a false sense of superiority by creating an ambient haze of vague scandal around all alternatives show up and start slinging bullshit around.
There's plenty of Russia and China criticism even on the political comms
Liberals : Russia :: Republicans : Obama
Can't have a real critical conversation with them because they're too caught up in the fever dreams that were pushed on them from the top down. You're too busy defending reality, which in turn drives them into further madness as they perceive it as ~~a defense~~ a conspiracy to deceive them by a paid robotic shill.
