For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

PieFed all the way. It’s developing at lightning speed, while Lemmy lags behind as the transphobic genocide denying devs beg for donations with in built donation begging banners on all Lemmy instances front pages. Instances are apparently scared to defed from .ml for fear the devs wont support them with help.

Rimu has made some interesting choices, such as blocking 196 from default federating posts until a user subs first or a dislike for meme subs. But when spoken to has been receptive and removed such things or made them optional for admins.

Ethically and feature wise PieFed is in the lead, its not perfect but its open to change and receptive to ideas

Apparently most intances of both lemmy and piefed block this one. I just argued with some about it, I think it's an insult to the intelligence of their users to ban something they don't think their users should like, that it's counter-productive, and it's good to have the lines of communication open.

That there are other avenues less severe than defederating. Posts could be put behind an nsfw type banner. You could be given tools to mute them, all sorts of things.

It gets tricky when it comes to nazis though. Who is to say who is a nazi I don't know but at a certain point you have to shut out a group no? Idk, but not a fan of censorship, especially for my own good, by people who live up the ass of people playing them as much as not.

Holy shit this user is the most boomer brained loser I have ever seen on the fediverse. Why is this user not banned?

Like a scene from a 2000s action comedy where the drunken spy effortlessly stumbles through the laser hallway of our moderation system.

Devil's advocate: they're actually really funny in a completely unintentional way.

My canon is that this is a very elaborate joke, this level of dumbasery cannot be natural, not even "western governments(LMAO)" can produce a dumbass like this one

People will whine about how .ml is apparently so hyper censorus, and then you'll see chuds like this not even getting their comments removed

[–] goferking0 3 points 1 month ago

Because those complaints are usually just from people upset their terrible trolling efforts were removed or ignored

i've said this here before but people like this get a feeling like a rock in the pit of their stomach when they see something that (correctly) questions their worldview. the feeling tells them to look away, and sometimes to make everyone else look away too. they know something is wrong with the way they see things; they know a lot of what they say is flat-out incorrect. but that feeling in their stomach tells them never to dig deeper, never even to look at things they worry might correct their deeply-held beliefs about countries they've never even been to. you either learn to ignore that feeling when you need to like i did, or you spend your life leaving reddit and then trying to turn every place you go back into reddit.
