is there any evidence whatsoever, or is this belief that they simply must have received and suppressed some trump-related smoking gun just blueanon dogma?

I mean, we could fuck off to tor and see what boards they have there. I don't want to be used as an exit node for random highly illegal bullshit

Because it doesn't matter.

A source that provides exclusive, true information about politicians, but that also has a political bias, is not something that should be blocked outright as though it were misinformation. Otherwise you'd have to block just about every source.

I mean, hell. I sometimes watch John Oliver despite disagreeing with some of his politics and considering him to present a biased or incomplete picture of certain subjects, because I sometimes learn about true things I would not have otherwise been informed about. I'll criticize him, but I'm not going to call for him to be blocked, especially not in the code like this.

At a certain point, you're just censoring proven facts, just on the basis of who said them.

Any source on this?

It's not for one instance. PieFed's block list can only be edited by changing the source code. I'm more than in favor if giving instance owners control over their server. If said list was just a default, easily editable from the user (admin) interface, that would be OK. But as it is, it's an attempt to exert control over other people's servers, no ifs or buts about it.

So looks like you concede that your take that it would require ages to remove the blocklist because you would have to check 1000s of sources one by one or have absolutely no blocklist was completely stupid.

No, very probably not all PieFed instances, and AFAIK the socialist sites are not in that list of defaults.

If you’re going to make public accusations, please don’t sabotage yourself by making incorrect or imprecise claims.

Users that prefer a more curated and politically uniform experience might prefer PieFed over the alternatives.

There’s no reason to think that. I’d argue that Lemmygrad is more curated and politically uniform than any PieFed instance is.

Lemmy still has a site blocklist for URL posts, though it doesn’t come pre-populated at all, so it’s basically disabled by default. Same with the slur filter.

You are struggling so hard

Neither Lemmy nor PieFed puts locks on anything, other than what an instance’s admins choose to put on them. One might try to argue that PieFed’s optional default blocklist is a bridge too far, but that’s about it.

Edit to add: Okay, PieFed does put some locks on by default, though they can be unlocked.

well at least I'm not pissing off the people that should be allying with me and acting to empower those who hate me.

also, your mum struggles to fit my fat cock in her arse

No I don't, would you mind linking a citation on this claim?

Yes they are completely different front and backends but they use the same protocol (ActivityPub).

No they are different backends, they just use the same protocol.

Teseraract, Photon, and Mlmym are different frontends for Lemmy.

PieFed has completely separate frontend and backend code from Lemmy's code.

ACTUALLY IT’S ABOUT ETHICS IN GAMING JOURNALISM

Yeah… I don’t miss it the slightest. It was so bad that Breadtube came to be in reaction to it.

Well, there's your confusion, liberals are not allies to the left, liberals are allies to conservatives. We are not even close in goals.

No one cares about your tiny incel cock

Yes, because Fox News is known for their facts. (No one mention the court case.)

that's right comrade, who cares about civil liberties? Let's assist the further and further right party until we reach true communism!

It's liberals aiding Republicans not us

Who was talking about Fox News? I thought we were discussing WikiLeaks.

The right wing has ass fucked the entire world into the ground, I say good riddance.

yeah, you see them saying "don't vote democrat, just let the republicans take over" on here? Because I see the so called communists saying that shit over and over again instead of supporting democrats like Mohani or whatever the NYC mayor is.

ok 🙄

My modlog which contains authoritarian treatment to me from tankie .ml bastards

Oh goodness. It's almost as if what I'm suggesting is being done to me by the authoritarian cunts I despise! This surely means I'm not on the left at all, and want people to have zero civil liberties

it's been well over 6 months since anyone from .ml removed one of your comments; your bigotry lately has instead been getting removed by mods from many other places (including several from your own instance).

and what were the actions I got moderated for on the other instances? Suggesting feeding palestinian orphans to elon musk?

I got too fucking angry that capitalist dickheads are ripping off customers by misstating the amount of memory is in computer components. The MOST right wing, bootlicker thing you can imagine.

I fly off the handle when people piss me off. Does that make me a centrist?

Yeah but, know your enemy and all that

Literally yesterday I tried hosting a piefed instance, with no intervention, it applied these exact lists, and there was no option to change it which is why I switched back to self hosted lemmy

We know the enemy.

We know every unoriginal comment, trick, and bullshit they do, because they have repeated them over and over again for decades.

We don't have to keep giving them the false legitimacy of equal time or attention.

We don’t have to keep giving them the false legitimacy of equal time or attention.

If I want to point something out that a shithole site is promoting, I don't need admin to put up a baby gate so I can't talk about it. I don't know how that relates to legitimizing anything.

I absolutely am using it as a pejorative.

I can only imagine the person coming up with this idea

Neither PieFed the platform nor piefed.social the instance block lemmy.ml:
https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/blame/commit/c9688103c45b5c473fdc388eb92ac70438b48b86/app/cli.py#L147-L154

By default, Piefed the platform blocks over two dozen far-right/fascist instances and two leftist instances: hexbear and lemmygrad. It's a hard-coded Overton window.

Good job. You should be proud of yourself for making this post.

Report it

I expected to see thegrayzone.com and was not disappointed.

They scored yet another vindication this week, this time on the OPCW cover-up of the 2018 Douma, Syria false-flag attack.

I'm not going to look through the code for proof for an online argument, but the reason I believe that is because there is/was code that searched for anonymous and No. in any uploaded image, and failed with a fake error message when you try to upload it

The commenter is a bit confused. There are two distinct things at play.

This post is about the domain blocklist, which is not mandatory on install—though most new instances choose it—and can be removed by an admin with either the patience or the database skill to remove it.

The other thing at play is the hard-coded list of banned fediverse instances, which are automatically added to the federation blocklist on new instances. These can also be removed by an admin. The list contains far-right & outright fascist instances, threads.com, and two socialist instances: Hexbear & Lemmygrad.

[Edited to fix link.]

the most recent comment you had deleted was for violating rule 1 of !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

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

i recommend reading your own modlog and reflecting on it.

A liberal calling me a bad person is like Ronald Reagan calling me a radical.

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".

It isn't censorship though? Just as much as people have the right to speak, others have the right to not have to listen. The beauty of the fediverse is that literally everyone has the right to say what they want, you can join a new instance or make your own but if you start saying stuff that people don't want to listen to then they can't be forced to listen.
