6 days agoThere is no “correction” necessary, this was the plan all along. Piefed’s main selling point always was, “lemmy but anti-tankie”. That is the openly stated goal. All those little QoL features that got added at breakneckspeed and with little forethought were to make it easier and more compelling to switch, but I bet the number 1 thing among people that choose piefed over lemmy is that they hate the politics of the lemmy devs (which they don’t put into their software) and want the anti-tankie software that bakes it’s bias into it’s code. A lot of “har har fuck those tankies we like their platform but hate them.”
I don’t know anything about that. They got a semi-hardcoded 3000 entry long list of blocked domains including thegrayzone and wikileaks. An admin can unblock one by one or do a manual database transaction to drop the list.
On the flagship piefed.social instance they also flag content from peoplesdispatch and electronicintifada as untrustworthy.
