I’m now concerned that I’ve unfairly brought PieFed into all this. It’s not my project, and it will continue to thrive irrespective of how much I do or don’t contribute to it.

I do, however, think that cm0002’s current project is doomed. The idea that the admins of Lemmy instances of any significant size will defed from ML on the promise that one person will continue to be willing and able to replicate missing content, presumably forever, is not one I can foresee succeeding. If the admins of lemmy.ml weren’t also the devs, then maybe, but otherwise no.

It was this approach that I was attempting to criticize, not any fundamental political disagreements.
