PieFedeology - Ideological Purity in PieFed (lemmy.ml)

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 🤔

This can be demonstrated here: https://piefed.social/c/globalnews/p/1697164/sudan-civil-war-spills-over-into-neighboring-chad-peoples-dispatch

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

You can't fork Reddit

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/

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.
