No, it’s not. It’s referring to people grievance-mongering about the code and making it their life goal to try and attack piefed - many of whom disagreed with it at the onset.

Did you actually think you were going to somehow convince me to oppose Piefed, or something?

I have no control over someone else advertising the Fediverse purely by means of specifically focusing on Piefed. They didn’t start any flame war specifically by doing that.
