Comment on Lemmy or Piefed?

I prefer Lemmy because unlike Piefed there are no hardcoded instance or user blocks. I like being able to see a multitude of opinions and manually block people/communities that I feel don’t contribute to discussion.

PieFed has no hardcoded instance or user blocks. You were lied to by bad people.

I was just repeating what I’ve heard elsewhere. It does appear that the included blocklists can be edited. I have mixed feelings about labeling certain websites.

Fair enough.
How websites are labelled is up to the instance admin. It used to be that all labels were warnings but in the latest version of PieFed it became possible to use neutral or positive icons as well:

It still says ‘warning type’ and ‘warning on posts’ in the UI which is an oversight I’ve just noticed!
This change was a result of criticism I read. Often when people write that stuff they think they have discovered some nefarious thing that exists that way because I want it to. The fact is it was all thrown together very quickly so it’s not always well thought-out but when people don’t like things I listen and make changes. Nothing is set in stone.

I appreciate you clarifying. I didn’t realize you were the developer. You reminded me the importance of verifying information before posting about it.
