Rimu recently started a new rant thread. I copied the response of the person they had targeted and in less than a minute Rimu had deleted the comment.
This is the comment Rimu did not want people being able to see: https://feddit.uk/post/53824748/26875911
This is the thread I shared it on: https://feddit.uk/post/53824747
Comparing one thing to shit and the other to piss is indirectly an assessment as to which is worse. I may be going out on a limb here but I’m pretty sure the vast majority of people (without a scat fetish) find shit worse than piss.
Whataboutism would be using the problems with the Lemmy devs to distract from or justify what the Piefed devs do. If someone says Piefed devs are doing A but Lemmy devs are doing B which I find is worse, so I would rather go with Piefed, that’s not whataboutism, that’s chosing the lesser of two evils.
It depends on what you’re into, what you’re wearing, and the ambient temperature.
