Apology accepted.

Don’t offer it by default. Offer a feature. Then, separately entirely from the project, offer a block list or set of block lists. Have that extra step.

Nearly all software users, and yes especially self-hosting server admins, use default settings. By declaring yourself as the arbiter of all things bad and including it by default, you have changed your software from a neutral party, to one that is the arbiter of truth that requires effort to turn off, and that’s not something most are going to do.

Thus whatever you say becomes the majority opinion. This isn’t a new or surprising opinion btw, it’s the literal reason the DMCA has section 230 in the US, and all countries have something similar for platforms, scientific journals, and news organizations.

Sorry the liberal replying made me actually look this up and it turns out it was misinformation spread from liberal accounts. You’re right. Apparently no evidence was ever uncovered that wikileaks ever received the RNC leak that came out a few years after they released the DNC leak; and the majority of Assange’s quotes praising Trump were just wholesale made up by various shareblue linked propaganda sites.

Cool, now you can be spammed by scam sites. Since its the same list.

So you’re starting from zero. Congrats. Hope your instance is never, ever actually populated otherwise your entire experience hosting the instance will be spent doing moderation.

The UN disagrees with you, kiddo. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/10/un-experts-urge-germany-halt-criminalisation-and-police-violence-against

You’re against everyone progressive, and supposedly against anyone right-wing despite spending hundreds of comments defending the right…

Feel free to report it. Vote manipulation is against lemmy.world’s rules and the moderators can see the ip’s.

It would be a quick instance ban.

Do it, you genocidal cunt.

…Do you think that is auditing a list?

Do you know what auditing is?

No, the physical action of removing things you already know from a list that may or may not include them is not the problem. No one has claimed it is.

What is the problem is going through the list, thousands of entries, and finding out if they’re accurate to what has been claimed. That take going to every single site you don’t necessarily recognize, which for a list of thousands will be thousands, and doing even the bare minimum of research.

The block list is editable by any admin, and the sysadmin can delete the block list entirely.

So your choice is trust the genocide guy, spend WEEKS vetting a giant list that is mostly filled with dead links, or have no blocklist?

Gee wilkers I wonder which one most will pick.

No, you can’t. You can go to jail for suggesting Germany’s support of Israel is support of genocide.

But specifically both in China and Cuba you’re free to criticize the government. Hell there’s a ~100k strong protest in China every couple of months regarding the government’s apathy towards Israel; and the recent while the most recent cuban ‘protests’ were more in line with ‘encouraging’ the government to just spend more money to encourage countries to break the US military blockade, they were still ‘criticism’ that the government wasn’t doing enough.

Bold claim from someone denying US participation in genocide. Misinformation is kinda your forte isn’t it?

Your definition excludes them, though. In both practice and in context the Communist party of China’s constitution has more protections and encouragement for individual freedom than the US or Sweden; and unlike those two China has fully adopted the entirety of the UDHR into its current constitution.

So it’s not authoritarian by your definition. Nor is Cuba. Russia on paper also isn’t, though in practice they’re capitalist so inherently, like all capitalist countries, they would be authoritarian under your definition.

You’re an enlightened centrist, who the fuck cares about your lazy copypasta.

Cool, so China, Cuba, Russia isn’t authoritarian?

Type rimiru into any search engine that crawls lemmy. Any of them. They weren’t always a piefed user, and even their recent posts from their piefed.social account trying to rag on /0 users have plenty of evidence posted in response of their support of nazis.

And yes, I am upset that the nazi version of lemmy written by a nazi because for some reason Jewish nazis get a fucking pass in liberal spaces despite having the longest running holocaust in world history so far decides to try to be the arbiter of truth in their little nazi Activitypub technology.

That is a valid reason to be upset. It normalizes whatever they deem as offensive as being blocked by users of PieFed technology, because who the fuck is going to go through several thousand entries to actually audit their work? No one.

So the technology is all or nothing. What looks good to an instance host choosing PieFed over lemmy or m/kbin? All. Because they’re not going to spend the days it would take for an independent audit of what this particular nazi thinks is unacceptable, and because ‘nothing, build it yourself,’ would also take days.

So yes, I will compare the little nazi tech you’ve chosen to be participant to to the nazi tech used by facebook (marks and sells data on palestinians to israel) and reddit (u/spez, also the term zionazi gets you site-wide permabanned). If you dislike that, choose better.

Define authoritarian in any way that includes what you have been brainwashed to believe is an ‘authoritarian’ country, but excludes any country you believe isn’t authoritarian.

‘Authoritarian’ is a meaningless buzzword. There is no definition of it that includes ‘authoritarian’ countries while excluding non’authoritarian’ countries.

You’re going to go through several thousands of links in ten minutes all to… maybe have a slightly less reddit like experience?

It’s what happens when you step out of the west and into any country that are the victims of the west, which is around 176 countries.

Why wouldn’t a site that isn’t slanted towards coddling western children like liberals and neoliberals be more reflective of the actual majority opinion in the world?

This isn’t allowing them on a platform, this is disallowing platforms to choose whether to allow them on a platform based on the opinions of a guy that has endorsed genocide and child rape.
