The only large mainstream competitor, which would probably benefit from github’s troubles: “We saw github breaking itself regularly because of it’s own slop coding AND flooded with trash vibe coded projects and thought - that’s where we wanna be!”

“Impressions” is the amount of time a piece of content was viewed. This is a key metric in advertising-based situations because you want to know the ratio of clicks on the thing vs how many impressions it has to judge how effective a bait it is.

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

This is a strong and succinct argument, cheers.

We need peoplesdispatch.org I think it’s valuable thing to have a take on events from their angle. Yet it needs to be read with an understanding that they have an angle. Using the warning icon to provide that understanding is clunky and wasn’t really intended for that purpose. There has been some drift in the usage away from the original idea behind the feature.

One day it might be good to have a different icon for providing context, separate from providing warnings.

I don’t believe software can be neutral. By making banning them equally easy as not, we’re saying that those choices are of equal worth - doing that is taking a side and it’s the side of giving fascists an easier way in. Nope! That’s how Mastodon gets forked into Truth Social.

Interesting how this thread started out about me being too right wing and now for other people it’s about me being too left wing. Heh.

Can’t please everyone and I’m not trying to.

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

IDGAF.

It depends on your definition of easy. Here is the admin UI for unbanning domains.

Also they can go into the database and empty the domain table.

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

I’m happy to explain. You could have just asked, though.

During initial installation PieFed downloads a big list of 3000 right-wing domains from https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon and blocks them all. Admins can unblock them if they want but they would need to do them individually so I bet none do.

The list includes things like fox news, breitbart, etc. 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.

So.

Additionally, I have manually added these warnings (not blocks) onto some domains, for piefed.social only. You can download a list of those warnings from https://join.piefed.social/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/warnings.ods

Most of them are tabloids, AI slop farms and a handful are authoritarian government mouthpieces.

So there’s 3000 right wing sites that simply can’t be linked to and 47 sites with warnings, about 10% of which are left wing. There’s no need to warn for fascism because posts that link to them are not displayed in the first place.

There’s an ideological slant to PieFed for sure, and it’s very much in favor of the left. That could be why maga.place and lemmychan.org use Lemmy and not PieFed.

I’ll take another look at peoplesdispatch and see if there’s a less triggering warnings I can put on it.

Yep. This is a setting I put in for my instance only, not hard-coded.

Various domains have warnings for different things.

That’s interesting.

How much ram did it use while running?

If you used a GPU, how much does it cost in today’s prices?

Log into your account and change your display name in the settings.

Ah that is interesting, I missed that the first time.

So the author instance would be responsible for federating activities, not the instance hosting the community? That could be very beneficial for spreading load across the network! But maybe it would complicate moderation because the author could ignore moderator’s commands to delete the post and stop federating it.

They took the link down.

I have a copy - https://join.piefed.social/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/evidence-llm-used-for-banning.txt

Turns out this is not curated, this is just a mirror of a reddit sub. Posting a new image every minute.

I’ve closed it down until the operator responds and I can get them to slow it down.

Sorry about the flood.

Edit: fixed now, should be 1 or 2 posts per day

I prefer to receive individual vote activities because then my blocks and defederations will remove votes from instances that I don’t want.

e.g. I’m using instance A and subscribed to a community on instance B. Posts in there receive votes from instance C but because I’ve defederated from C (for vote manipulation, perhaps), none of the votes from C have any effect on me. They would have an effect on B and that’s good - it’s up to them.

We have https://piefed.social/c/trolley_problems which is abandoned. You could take over that one if you like? DM me if so.

Nah. I discussed it with Unruffled days ago. Here’s a screenshot from Matrix in the Threadiverse Admins room:

It’s at least one admin, we don’t know how widely it’s used. It does have the logo of a group of 3 instances (Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla), so it seems to be made to be used by many people in an ongoing way.
