According to Rimu Atkinson, the main developer of PieFed, all PieFed instances come with a 3000-long block list of resources that cannot be linked to. These include all sorts of right-wing outlets. There is no easy opt-out, forcing existing instances to follow the blocklist.

The flagship PieFed instance also rolled out a feature marking various other sorts of outlets - among them, resources considered AI slop and Marxist outlets. These are specific to piefed.social.

Why YSK: Many users have hard time choosing between Lemmy, PieFed, and Kbin/Mbin. Users that prefer a more curated and politically uniform experience might prefer PieFed over the alternatives. Users that are right-wing, Marxist, or generally concerned about global censorship of the Fedi-/Threadiverse, might opt for other options instead.

Note: The post is only meant to inform users of the potentially important differences between Threadiverse platforms. Any ideologically charged discussions are better left in the respective topic.

    Right-wingers: I think we should spread hate speech towards minorities

    Marxists: Fuck that, you shouldn’t be allowed to do that, we shouldn’t be tolerant of intolerance

    Liberals/you: How dare you evil Marxists be intolerant and suppress free speech, you shouldn’t be allowed to spread those ideas

    I should be the one posting about the “Paradox of Tolerance,” because you clearly don’t understand it.

    The rest of your comment is just unhinged conspiracy theory shit.

      Literally where did that come from? That completely opposes the entire content of their post.

        The part where they’re arguing for Marxists to be censored so that “authoritarians” get a taste of “their own” medicine.

      I’d comment about that’s how .ml operates, but that’s where you’re posting from, so we all know what’s up.

        Is there any possible evidence that could falsify your belief that I’m secretly a foreign agent?

        Is there any reason to believe that the FSB/CCP have a greater influence over English language discussions than the NSA does? How do I know you’re not getting paid off by them?

        But what’s the point in trying to reason with a conspiracy theorist? Your beliefs have no basis on either evidence or reason so there’s no way to change them that way, any more than you could a flat-earther’s.
