Please don't. A left-wing echo chamber is as bad as a right wing echo chamber.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

At this point, the difference between right wing and left wing polititics is simply that right wing politics is all about a single strong fascist billionaire leader who makes sure only his buddies get richer, and left wing politics is that we all have a nice life.
Many people actually prefer nthe former because only the former supports selfishness, and discrimination on race, sexuality, and whatnot, while the latter doesn't.
That literally nis the difference between the two. If you are rightwing, I will presume you're racist, sexist, and selfish.
This is should be considered an utterly absurd sentiment; and for the sake of fairness and good will no leftist should ever condone having this sort of perspective.
Which is why it hurts me so fucking bad to agree. Modern rightwing is utterly broken and evil. It feeds off of primitive instincts, unsuppressed intrusive thoughts, greed and prejudice.
"We may disagree with eachother, but at the end of they day, what we all really want is what's best for our country".
What the fuck happened that this adage has been completely nullified globally
I might recommend a game called 1000xResist
Sometimes, the whale is too big to fit in the backpack. You can't take everything with you. Keep this in mind when you reach the ending.
While we want everyone to have decent lives we have to reckon with the fact that there are people, even if they are provided everything that they need to have a decent and happy life, they will still choose to harm others around them to get ahead.
We call them billionaires.
And I believe that when faced with complex problems and fears, studies have shown around 30% of people will flock to authoritarianism. They crave not having to face ambiguity and a simple answer to complex problems they wish to hide from. Even if those answers are lies.
good
Personally think it's just really not the software's job to handle this or have an opinion on this - it's rather up to the instance admins to decide.
But the instance admins do decide this when they decide to use PieFed
According to Rimu Atkinson, the main developer of PieFed, all PieFed instances come with a 3000-long block list of resources that cannot be linked to. These include all sorts of right-wing outlets. There is no easy opt-out, forcing existing instances to follow the blocklist.
I support blocking propaganda and fascism, however this is just censorship imo. This could be a good feature, IF the ultimate choice is on the instances and its users on if they want to have it enabled or not by default, not from the developer and "on all instances with no easy opt-out"
I don't even support blocking propaganda and fascism. Maybe you could block malware sites, but even that's a push. Let moderators of individual communities figure it out, otherwise you're just going to turn whole instances into echo chambers.
I'd say that block in general is a bit much, this can be nice if it can be used as a similar feature to "hide bot posts", so users have the choice on if they want to hide or show those posts with the blocked link in them. Meanwhile each instances can decide what the default is, on or off, but the end user can decide how they want
Piefed dev's I talked to said they can decide to allow or disallow instances at least even as many come preblocked.
The right wing has ass fucked the entire world into the ground, I say good riddance.

I can only imagine the person coming up with this idea
No, very probably not all PieFed instances, and AFAIK the socialist sites are not in that list of defaults.
If you’re going to make public accusations, please don’t sabotage yourself by making incorrect or imprecise claims.
Users that prefer a more curated and politically uniform experience might prefer PieFed over the alternatives.
There’s no reason to think that. I’d argue that Lemmygrad is more curated and politically uniform than any PieFed instance is.
Politically uniform means right-wing and liberal to USAmericans
this sentence makes no sense in this context
https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/blob/master/domains.txt includes... wikileaks.org 🤦
afaik WikiLeaks still enjoys a spotless accuracy record and obviously has never promoted QAnon.
The fact that some QAnon promoters have themselves cited some WikiLeaks publications is, in my opinion at least, not a reason to prohibit linking to WikiLeaks (a site which hasn't published anything new recently but continues to host a massive archive of public interest documents).
I expected to see thegrayzone.com and was not disappointed.
They scored yet another vindication this week, this time on the OPCW cover-up of the 2018 Douma, Syria false-flag attack.
