PieFed has done it once again, this time adding 'warning' labels for opposing ideological perspectives, well at least one; Can't find any warnings for fascism or capitalism ๐Ÿค”

But why? I don't understand why you want to make your software politically charged. I'm left leaning, but I believe in free speech for all. This makes piefed a censored platform by default. You are manufacturing an echo chamber.

    I don't want fascists to benefit from my work. But it's FOSS, so anyone can download and install it, so I made it extremely unattractive to fascists.

    There are plenty of other places where people can have "free speech".

    Facebook, or reddit, for example. /s

    Heh, this puts Piefed in the same basket as Reddit, Facebook etc. for the same reasons you dislike them.

    Fork PieFed and remove the 4 lines of code involved in doing this, then. See cli.py, line 160.

    IDGAF.

    I've rarely seen a crashout so spectacular. Piefed going from the new darling to pariah software in the blink of an eye.

    Can you imagine the shitstorm MOG would have raised if the same blocklist was hardcoded in lemmy?

    MOG was upset that Lemmy had a slur filter for a time, they absolutely would crash out if Lemmy devs did anything near this.

    You can't fork Reddit or Facebook and then federate with them.

    Pievolution is a Piefed forks that removes this feature (as well ad other stuff)

    It's not completely ready yet.

    By the way, thank you for your work on lazysoci.al

    You can't fork Reddit

    There's an archive of an old version of Reddit's code available on Github, so theoretically you can fork it, just not the latest version.

    And nobody used that as a Reddit alternative, due to missing the federation aspect.

    What I should have said above is: you can fork Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, use that fork on an instance and connect to the Fediverse. That's the major difference with Reddit or Facebook.
