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
Voat was a trainwreck from day one.
Comparing Lemmy to Voat is slanderous.
I used Voat for about 20 minutes before realizing it was just a Nazi platform and left
Comparing PieFed to Voat is however accurate. Both are anti-left platforms.
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
Ah jeez I gotta move again? Just can't catch a break with these mfrs.
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 :)
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
I didn't hate Voat at first. Then it went weird.
