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.

can you elaborate?

Every Piefed instance has a randomly-changing block of links in it's sidebar that educates about media literacy, cognitive biases, groupthink, cults, propaganda and more. This is built in to the code of PieFed.

I can't ban nazis & tankies from using PieFed in the license (then it wouldn't be FOSS) but I can make PieFed in such a way that they don't want to use it.

Do any other instances remove or modify aforementioned block of links? I'm moreso curious to know what additions have been tried, but I'd also be shocked to hear if anyone's removed them altogether and for what reason?

It's not displayed on quokk.au. It's the rationale discourse box in the sidebar, it's a checkbox in the settings, same with the preset trump/musk filters.

As for why?:

Reduce visual clutter: it's an element that realistically a user will use once, it doesn't need to always be there.
We're an anarchist server: I'd like to trust most people to be able to make their own informed decisions and be avoiding any alt-right pipelinens on principle.

By...removing sources of further information? Ok.
