Yes, I did once. I am glad that I did not get fired for doing so, though I wonder if even checking PieFed or Lemmy alone might in some hypothetical future scenario get me noticed by certain federal agencies who may not be precise in their determinations as to who is an agitator vs. who is merely using the ActivityPub Protocol independently. That is just one of the many problems with is being a tankie bar - all it would take would be like an assassination attempt by someone with prominent ties to Lemmy and suddenly we all of us will be under much tighter scrutiny.

But back in the day, in the year following the Rexodus, I did have more hopes for the future of the Threadiverse. I was more naive then and did not realize many things that I do now. Such as the fact that tankies legitimately want to overthrow all Western civilizations, e.g. by pushing the false bOtH sIdEs SaMe rhetoric just before any major election in prominent Western nations. Literally millions and in all likelihood fully over a billion people are going to die in the next twenty to fifty years as a result of climate change alone, not to mention all the direct deaths from the wars, much even though obviously not all of which are indirectly consequential to their actions.

So no, I do not recommend it to anyone irl or otherwise anymore.
