    Piefed is baking these tools into the code itself, Lemmy doesn’t. Communists aren’t opposed to censorship unilaterally, disinformation can and should be removed (along with bigotry, etc.). However, Rimu is waging a crusade against Lemmy’s left-wing userbase and is trying to consolidate a viewpoint that aligns with, well, Rimu, in the code itself.

      Yes it’s disappointing that an “anarchist” instance is Pie(in-the-sky)fed. Like I want to not punch left but the two anarchist instances of which I’m aware do that.

        Is Piefed even nominally anarchist, seems like it’s pretty explicitly liberal “moderate” (which is to say, far right)

          This is the funny part, anarchists and liberals never actually follow anything they preach in practice. They’ll screech about Marxists being authoritarian, but happily do the exact things they denounce in their own spaces. It just exposes the lack of intellectual integrity on their part. Marxists understand the need for censorship and suppressing destructive capitalist and fascist views. So, we don’t need to twist ourselves into pretzels to justify ourselves.

          Piefed is just liberal, but there are anarchist Piefed instances like Anarchist.nexus (which I actually think is pretty decent and is federated with Lemmygrad.ml, which is cool).

      Communists aren’t opposed to censorship unilaterally

      The issue is that there are no moderators on .ml like the communists you’re describing here.

      Joining piefed was an easy decision, after being at the receiving end of .ml moderation.

        How is that relevant to the topic at hand, which is baking political opinions into a platform’s codebase?

        Lemmy.ml the instance isn’t Lemmy the software platform, and there are plenty of Lemmy instances out there that align with your bog-standard imperial core political sensibilities.

          The issue is the complete acceptance of authoritarianism, and the inability to accept criticism of same.

          Reflexively shouting fascist in the face of criticism of authoritarianism just falls dead on the floor to me.

            “Authoritarianism” is not a thing. All states wield authority, what distinguishes them above all is in which class’s interests, and this is determined by which class is in control of the state. You weren’t reflexively called a fascist, you were called a fascist after dehumanizing ethnicities of people whose state you opposed, and the fact that you support neo-Nazi groups.

                  You and I have chatted privately, and publicly.

                  Put all of it up, verbatim, including how you choose to conduct yourself.

                  Show the specifics of what I reject.

                    Nah, your incoherent rambling and defense of fascism went on very long and was weeks ago, I’d have to dig to find it and I don’t really care. You can put it up if you want, I think that would backfire though given that it validates what I said. Also, calling it “chatting privately” is a bit odd, you went into people’s DMs and started harassing them after you got justifiably banned.
