How I see lw and ml instances or conservatives and liberals

I was ready to migrate to fucking voat before it just stagnated, died and filled with nazis

Oh fuck, I barely remember voat, that must’ve been around the same time as the Ellen Pao debacle

I didn't hate Voat at first. Then it went weird.

Voat was a trainwreck from day one.

Comparing Lemmy to Voat is slanderous.

Comparing PieFed to Voat is however accurate. Both are anti-left platforms.

Considering it was founded by people who were like "reddit doesn't let us perv on enough underage people" I don't know what you expected.

Only Anarchism is left enough, eh?

I thought it was because of the fat hate subreddit

What's up with PieFed?

The dev has opinions, and isn't afraid to use his software to censor differing ones.

...such as?

There's probably more, but this is what a quick search turned up

He’s radically anti-left, with a block list of leftist users and instances that is only dwarfed by Tesseract.

Codes in censorship features and tries to sneak them by people before getting called out and making them optional for other instances while acting like he’s such a great person for doing so.

And really random stuff such as coding memes and gifs to be hard to discover and sort lower, putting limits on how often people can vote, making the software harder for the people who contribute the most content to try and force them to be less active.

As opposed to the Lemmy devs, who are opinion-free lol

The lemmy devs have arguably much more problematic opinions, but they were also wise enough to keep their opinions in their instance, and out of the code itself.

That’s fair, yeah

Absolutely dripping with Hitler Particles

Ah jeez I gotta move again? Just can't catch a break with these mfrs.

I used Voat for about 20 minutes before realizing it was just a Nazi platform and left

Guess I'm returning to Lemmy, then...

There's also a piefed fork named pylova, currently in use by quokk.au. They could use some support.

I'll look into it! Although, I did just move to slrpnk.net...

Stay there and get them to move over to pylova. They're still using a compatible backend at this point :)

30 seconds after it launched

they were originally planning to move to PieFed but haven't said much about it in a while. i've become one of the contributors to PyLova

and anachist.nexus!
