If I hadn't given the instance to someone else, I would have considered leaving a community note on Rimu's user page with a red exclamation mark saying "this user is a complete idiot".

Why is the intercept on there??

Or other ones like radio free Asia?

It being in a separate repo is great but worse if not visible anywhere. Especially as it's just an install step calling it something completely different.

Aren't they still using that as a complaint/call for censorship???

Yep, lol.

Will they have a warning label for Zionist outlets?

If I saw this, I would not assume that Gawker, WikiLeaks, or FOX Weather would be included in a blocklist called "No-QAnon". The list itself might not be smuggled, but it's not accurately representing itself either. If it has simply evolved over time, then it needs to be renamed or split into separate blocklists.

Additionally, if someone installing this changes their mind or realizes that what they received is not what they expected, then requiring them to either directly modify the database or click "remove" over 3000 times is arguably a dark pattern.

The noqanon list and the OP warning sign are two different things.

The first is a default url blocklist that gets pulled on first start of a Piefed instance and which contains extreme right-wing and mis-information outlets.

The domain warning sign mentioned in OP is a separate list only manually added to the piefed.social flagship instance.

It's just an armband. You know. To help with context.

The omissions in this timeline about brigading sockpuppets and falsified nazi smears...

But to list that timeline and act as though this is out of context or unrelated to an ongoing crashout... we are reaching some Hasan's dog collar level of bullshit.

Yeah, but let's take a step back for a moment here and look at how the Fediverse is run by people. These communities and instances are all equipped to take action, moderate, curate, and create.

The people on the Fediverse are well equipped to grapple with the Paradox of Intolerance in a public forum without the walls listening in and making decisions about doors.

This gets back to how poorly designed piefed is and rimus explanations.

The domain block list having more than qanon and being part of the install while not saying anything about what it actually brings in is poor design choice. Along with it apparently only being disabled by individually checking the list in the ui.

Rimu made it sound like they were connected in the qanon repo

Unsurprisingly not currently. Based on current behavior and responses doubtful in future

Do you honestly not see the difference between these two? Deleting a couple lines of code or a file is just not the same as adding a feature to a codebase.

without the walls listening in and making decisions about doors.

I'm not sure what you mean with "walls listening in" when we're talking about a public forum, but the doors are perfectly openable. As the creator stated elsewhere, you can unban individual pages or delete the whole list. The "decision" is more like a suggestion.

I understand you'd rather not have that suggestion preconfigured. I personally see no harm in it.

Nah but they have some for theintercept and electronicintifada ...

Yeah. My question was not a serious one. I knew the answer.

Who knows? Only Rimu. Maybe because they blew up the Paper of Record’s disinformation piece that manufactured consent for genocide.

Edit to add (and mentioned recently):
Disputing genocide accusations that the imperial core flings on its enemies, though, that’s his “red line.”

I'm not sure what you mean with "walls listening in" when we're talking about a public forum, but the doors are perfectly openable.

What I mean is the code infrastructure of the public forum doesn't need to do what the users operating the platform do. These sorts of flags and tags for judgements on commentary have a direct impact on interactions between users, which is the door part of analogy.

I wish lemmy admins could take the code away from these dorks.

Before starting work on PieFed I spent 3? years studying right wing disinformation - qanon, antivax, all that and that blocklist is an output from that. Every site on that list was reviewed personally.
- Rimu

🤦🏽

It's right in the name. Fed.

Plus there's rimu trying to tie lemmy as right wing (to maga and 4chan clones) because they used it as a platform...

Actually rimu is perfect fit with the lemmy.world admins and mods. Try to do the but are just incredibly terrible at messaging.

it is in the codebase, in a separate repo

The blocked domains are, the ones with a warning like in the screenshot are configured on a per-instance basis

Ah, thanks. If the default blocklist only contains heinous sites, then I have no issues worth mentioning with this aspect of the code.

The whole piefed thing has to be a bit right?

You're the single biggest troll in the fediverse. Congrats on the dedication to the bit you're doing.

Yes, it's very important to remind people what sort of a troll Rimu really is.

I love how it's basically a list of all the mainstream non western outlets.

I mean it at least includes wikileaks.org, but I don't think anyone is gonna audit 3000 domains anytime soon.

That seems to be about the other list. The noqanon one.

I'm not sure. The post was about this list and the warning about a supposed Marxist-Leninist web. How an antifascist list has been created is unrelated, then, the logical conclusion is that was created at the same time or that was a bad faith and manipulative answer.

You think defederating because they call for death upon Zionists is a win?

Two years ago, Lemmy.world tried a similar move with their MediaBiasFactCheck bot. It was soundly rejected by the community, and they finally relented after weeks of outcry. Why is @Rimu putting us through this again?

The take away was make it embedded everywhere rather than a bot addition

It definitely isn’t lol. Banning all right wing sources while allowing left wing really screams liberalism over left wing lol.

Media Bias Fact Check - Automation - Lemmy.World

Thank you for that, I'll think about it.

Jesus, some folks so revved up they can't stop brigading :D

Thank you!

Many of the "right-wing sources" are left wing sources that Rimu wants to drag as right-wing, and left wing sources get a warning while liberal ones do not.

Stop making concessions to them

Just log off, please. Nobody likes this shit

Embedded where though

In the source code of the piefed software itself

I mean... Same for Fediverse, and Federation?

The takeaway was it fucking sucked and I hated it.

or Federal agent

I understood the reference, but if we're going by that logic, the Fediverse itself is a federal ploy.

You never know...
