Whatever you want to call it, it’s distinct from what voyager is used for.

lemmy.ml is only a testbed insomuch as release candidates are deployed there. It’s not used for beta testing.

Did you add Firefox to System Settings | Privacy & Security | Local Network?

I’m afraid you are correct. They’ve had their eye on us for a while now. They just haven’t deployed significant resources on us yet.

That’s a good point. Lemmygrad doesn’t disallow links to anywhere, because it trusts its users to have a solid ideological foundation and the media literacy to read anything without catching ideological “cooties.”

In fact, I often say that liberals believe in the cooties theory of ideas. They usually don’t understand how ideas develop or spread, nor how propaganda actually works. Previously. Previously.

The commenter is a bit confused. There are two distinct things at play.

This post is about the domain blocklist, which is not mandatory on install—though most new instances choose it—and can be removed by an admin with either the patience or the database skill to remove it.

The other thing at play is the hard-coded list of banned fediverse instances, which are automatically added to the federation blocklist on new instances. These can also be removed by an admin. The list contains far-right & outright fascist instances, threads.com, and two socialist instances: Hexbear & Lemmygrad.

I expected to see thegrayzone.com and was not disappointed.

They scored yet another vindication this week, this time on the OPCW cover-up of the 2018 Douma, Syria false-flag attack.

Neither PieFed the platform nor piefed.social the instance block lemmy.ml:

By default, Piefed the platform blocks over two dozen far-right/fascist instances and two leftist instances: hexbear and lemmygrad. It’s a hard-coded Overton window.

ACTUALLY IT’S ABOUT ETHICS IN GAMING JOURNALISM

Yeah… I don’t miss it the slightest. It was so bad that Breadtube came to be in reaction to it.

Neither Lemmy nor PieFed puts locks on anything, other than what an instance’s admins choose to put on them. One might try to argue that PieFed’s optional default blocklist is a bridge too far, but that’s about it.

Edit to add: Okay, PieFed does put some locks on by default, though they can be unlocked.

Lemmy still has a site blocklist for URL posts, though it doesn’t come pre-populated at all, so it’s basically disabled by default. Same with the slur filter.

No, very probably not all PieFed instances, and AFAIK the socialist sites are not in that list of defaults.

If you’re going to make public accusations, please don’t sabotage yourself by making incorrect or imprecise claims.

Users that prefer a more curated and politically uniform experience might prefer PieFed over the alternatives.

There’s no reason to think that. I’d argue that Lemmygrad is more curated and politically uniform than any PieFed instance is.

My body is ready for 1.0.

It shouldn’t be, because it’s a work of fiction.

All your life you’ve lived under capitalism and have been exposed to anti-communist propaganda, because to date communism has been the only successful alternative to capitalism.

Somehow OP thinks that a lifetime of anti-communism isn’t enough anti-communism.

This war started 47 years ago, the minute that the imperial core’s puppet regime was overthrown.
