PieFed has done it once again, this time adding ‘warning’ labels for opposing ideological perspectives, well at least one; Can’t find any warnings for fascism or capitalism 🤔

Heh, this puts Piefed in the same basket as Reddit, Facebook etc. for the same reasons you dislike them.
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)

It’s not completely ready yet.
By the way, thank you for your work on lazysoci.al
There’s an archive of an old version of Reddit’s code available on Github, so theoretically you can fork it, just not the latest version.
And nobody used that as a Reddit alternative, due to missing the federation aspect.
What I should have said above is: you can fork Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, use that fork on an instance and connect to the Fediverse. That’s the major difference with Reddit or Facebook.
I mean, you can just add the federation aspect. It’s opensource, the code is at your fingertips to change as you please.
Do you honestly not see the difference between these two? Deleting a couple lines of code or a file is just not the same as adding a feature to a codebase.
Perfect way of putting it: https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/23/semipermeable-membranes/
Fork PieFed and remove the 4 lines of code involved in doing this, then. See cli.py, line 160.
IDGAF.
I’ve rarely seen a crashout so spectacular. Piefed going from the new darling to pariah software in the blink of an eye.
Can you imagine the shitstorm MOG would have raised if the same blocklist was hardcoded in lemmy?
MOG was upset that Lemmy had a slur filter for a time, they absolutely would crash out if Lemmy devs did anything near this.
Aren’t they still using that as a complaint/call for censorship???
Yep, lol.
And then they will trip over themselves anytime PieFed does really biased moderation and writes things the devs hates into the code so all users are subject to it.
Every time.
Super entertaining to watch though.
This assumes that your spaghetti codebase has any value whatsoever! Anyone that forks it would be better off starting from scratch.
