    I think he wanted those mod tools to build an even more solid echo chamber though, to better police the tankies. I could be wrong but his behavior since hasn’t given me any reason to think otherwise

      If you look at the entire body of the weird mod tools he’s baked into PieFed. Its clearly more about filtering out what he personally believes is low effort posting instead of just trusting the voting system. IIRC he’s never programmed in anything explicitly anti tankie. Instead, you get negative karma for posting a 4chan screenshot, replying with just a gif, or having the username cm0002.

      I don’t doubt that he’s anti tankie but I don’t think that’s his primary personal motivation. It was absolutely the motivating factor for everyone who jumped on the PieFed bandwagon. But we’re just projecting that onto him.
