Memes about the Fediverse.

Rules

General
  1. Be respectful
  2. Post on topic
  3. No bigotry or hate speech
  4. Memes should not be personal attacks towards other users
  5. We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    • Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
  6. This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

The dev has opinions, and isn't afraid to use his software to censor differing ones.

As opposed to the Lemmy devs, who are opinion-free lol

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The lemmy devs have arguably much more problematic opinions, but they were also wise enough to keep their opinions in their instance, and out of the code itself.

That’s fair, yeah

Ah jeez I gotta move again? Just can't catch a break with these mfrs.

There's also a piefed fork named pylova, currently in use by quokk.au. They could use some support.

and anachist.nexus!

Guess I'm returning to Lemmy, then...

I'll look into it! Although, I did just move to slrpnk.net...

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Stay there and get them to move over to pylova. They're still using a compatible backend at this point :)

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

they were originally planning to move to PieFed but haven't said much about it in a while. i've become one of the contributors to PyLova

He’s radically anti-left, with a block list of leftist users and instances that is only dwarfed by Tesseract.

Codes in censorship features and tries to sneak them by people before getting called out and making them optional for other instances while acting like he’s such a great person for doing so.

And really random stuff such as coding memes and gifs to be hard to discover and sort lower, putting limits on how often people can vote, making the software harder for the people who contribute the most content to try and force them to be less active.
