PieFedeology - Ideological Purity in PieFed

It's right in the name. Fed.
I mean... Same for Fediverse, and Federation?
-
The take away was make it embedded everywhere rather than a bot addition
The takeaway was it fucking sucked and I hated it.

I understood the reference, but if we're going by that logic, the Fediverse itself is a federal ploy.

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.
Cute, but not enough, not by a mile. Calling Piefed "left-leaning" is a LARP at best.
You’re treating these neoliberal interpretations of bias as some sort of intellectual debate to "inform" folks, instead of the existential threat it is to the nature of online discourse.
Sure, left-wing discussions are "allowed" as long as they wear their scarlet letter and stay in the ghetto where we put them.

Guess some of it rubbed off.

Then Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, Bookwyrm, Pixelfed, Loops, Peertube, all made from disparate developers from around the world, are all one US Federal plot?
Why would they prefer a decentralized, difficult to control social media network over the centralized ones that are already entirely under the control of right-wing billionaires?

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)
https://codeberg.org/Situation0262/Pievolution
It's not completely ready yet.
By the way, thank you for your work on lazysoci.al
Perfect way of putting it: https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/23/semipermeable-membranes/
Because Mastodon is free software, and because it is built on an open standard, anyone can add this feature to their Mastodon instance. You can do this yourself, or you can hire someone else to do it for you.
What's more, if Mastodon's core devs decide to take away a feature you like, you and your friends can stand up your own Mastodon server that retains that feature. This is harder than using someone else's server – but it's way, way easier than convincing Twitter it was wrong to take away the thing you loved.

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.
Admin, my admin!

Controlled opposition of course. The prevailing ideology can reinforce and sustain itself anywhere, even in a completely decentralized media environment. Dissenting opinions can be safely relegated to smaller venues while liberal orthodoxy prevails in the more visible ones. Thus, reddit is recreated.
However, don't read too far into this, I was basically just making a joke about how "piefed" has "fed" in it.

For MLs, leftists are never left enough.
