I was ready to migrate to fucking voat before it just stagnated, died and filled with nazis
30 seconds after it launched
Oh fuck, I barely remember voat, that must’ve been around the same time as the Ellen Pao debacle
I thought it was because of the fat hate subreddit
Voat was a trainwreck from day one.
Comparing Lemmy to Voat is slanderous.
I used Voat for about 20 minutes before realizing it was just a Nazi platform and left
Comparing PieFed to Voat is however accurate. Both are anti-left platforms.
Absolutely dripping with Hitler Particles
What’s up with 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
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
…such as?

There’s probably more, but this is what a quick search turned up
Guess I’m returning to Lemmy, then…
Ah jeez I gotta move again? Just can’t catch a break with these mfrs.
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.
Only Anarchism is left enough, eh?
lemmygrad and hexbear are blocked automatically by default on the piefed server software
I didn’t hate Voat at first. Then it went weird.
Considering it was founded by people who were like “reddit doesn’t let us perv on enough underage people” I don’t know what you expected.
How I see lw and ml instances or conservatives and liberals
Ah the enlightened centrist. How brave of you to believe in nothing and also to think liberal and conservative are different things.
Liberal in contemporary US political conversation doesn’t mean what you think it means. If you support the right of minorities to exist, you’re a liberal. If you support nationalised healthcare and subsidised education, you’re a liberal.
Thank you for lecturing me on the politics of my own country. Liberal means none of those things though.
You clearly don’t know shit about US liberals.
that user she replied to is from a UK based instance though
