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.

    before that it was for racism, genocide apologia, etc etc.

    bullshit.

    EDIT : Yeah, one instance of racism of using russian against an asshole acting in the interests of russia , and another of calling a self hating black woman a self hating black woman. The fucking leader of the conservative party in the UK.

    EDIT2 : I’m willing to bet genocide apologia was "maybe hamas should not have kidnapped those people, but Israel also shouldn’t be doing all the horrid shit it’s doing either " and not “the holocaust was when a jewish person fell over instead of 11 million people of various races and creeds dying”.

        Yeah, there’s a difference between being slandered by being publically called a genocide apologist, and relying on people to actually look at the thing you said in context.

            Want to know why Israelis are indifferent about Gaza? Just watch Israeli TV

            Oh I know this one. Is it the constant bombing alarms and rocket attacks and having to have the iron dome so tel aviv can continue to exist?

            Feel free to read more about the history of rocket attacks and know that Tel Aviv which hosts 494,900 people, who might not enjoy fleeing to a bomb shelter every five minutes. Israel is acting like shit, but understanding that the people that live in israel, some of which are arabs, or non jewish people, might be tired of the situation they are in, is not a big challenge. Which, has nothing to do with genocide.

            Yep, you’re right again. one of my posts got deleted for “genocide apologia” but I’m not promoting anything of the sort. Israel is behaving disproportionately, enabling citizens to do all kinds of illegal shit and not batting an eye.

            I’m not excusing their behaviour, I am saying the motivation behind their behaviour, which is the purpouse of the article being discussed. Why are Israelis indifferent about what’s happening in Gaza? Because this situation isn’t just “israel bad”. Yes , Israel bad, but also, other people bad too.

              As someone helpfully explained to you in that thread:

              You’re trying to explain how Israelis’ indifference to Palestinian suffering is valid

              also btw my participation in this sub-thread began by replying to your challenging someone to find examples of you “defending the right” and… yeah, the above-linked thread is obvs one of them
