PieFed has done it once again, this time adding ‘warning’ labels for opposing ideological perspectives, well at least one; Can’t find any warnings for fascism or capitalism 🤔

I think Rimu has tied this warning to the peoplesdispatch.org domain. I think this is a custom thing he did to his instance, because I didn’t find it in the PieFed codebase.
[ETA: it is in the codebase, in a separate repo].[ETA: I’m told that no specific site warnings are baked into the code, just the feature is. For site blocks, there is an optional default list of domains, which I’m told contains only far-right/fascist sites.]I don’t think People’s Dispatch is even Marxist-Leninist. I think it’s an international anti-imperialist media site. But I wouldn’t assume Rimu could explain the difference or care that there is one. Maybe all anti-imperialists are tankies to him.
it is in the codebase, in a separate repo
The blocked domains are, the ones with a warning like in the screenshot are configured on a per-instance basis
Ah, thanks. If the default blocklist only contains heinous sites, then I have no issues worth mentioning with this aspect of the code.
I mean it at least includes wikileaks.org, but I don’t think anyone is gonna audit 3000 domains anytime soon.
It being in a separate repo is great but worse if not visible anywhere. Especially as it’s just an install step calling it something completely different.
Will they have a warning label for Zionist outlets?
Nah but they have some for theintercept and electronicintifada …
Unsurprisingly not currently. Based on current behavior and responses doubtful in future
Yeah. My question was not a serious one. I knew the answer.
Are you sure this is a “warning”? /s
Sounds like an indicator of quality, instead. Even the icon is in red, the color of hope.
All the bullshit they say about silencing and 1984 is as always, a classic case of projection.
Please enlighten us on where we should be getting the full objective unbiased reality from, the New York Times maybe? God forbid a media takes a pro working class / global south bias instead of the usual neoliberal status quo ideology. Call them out on it and they’ll deny they even follow any ideology, they’re just being Objective™.
The whole piefed thing has to be a bit right?
It’s right in the name. Fed.
I wish lemmy admins could take the code away from these dorks.
