You know you can just have multiple accounts on multiple instances, right? That gets you just about as full a view on the Fediverse as you might want. Heck, the only reason I’m not doing it is because I’m lazy.

Also, whining about db0 then moving to the instance that literally implements CCP politics and shadow profiling and comes from a dev known to have had a chip against heteronormativity and weirdness (if not against neurodivergence) is… not the win you think it is.

Yup that’s the way to go. Actually my first client I used for Lemmy (Liftoff) made multiple accounts really easy since you could switch feeds and accounts in one click and quickly. But even if you just use multiple accounts on the web switching between tabs or using Tesseract isn’t that difficult.

I know but I hate account jumping. I prefer to have everything in one place.

Can you provide some sources for that?

Oh that’s absolutely understandable. The more with how bloated interfaces tend to be these days.

Just mind, you have to consider what does it mean for your instance to be open enough to serve you everything in one account.

It’s been on the public fediverse eye enough that I don’t need to do your homework for you, but just look for mentions to piefed in this same sub. One of the exemplary things that was found was that you can’t eg.: “upload a picture that contains the word ‘anonymous’” and that Piefed lies to you about why.

Okay great, you assume that everyone reads everything. I was just asking for examples because I haven’t seen any and figured you must have seen some and can link them.

Thank you. No wonder I haven’t seen stuff like this if it’s posted in meme communities.

Why not go to an even broader instance like Lemmy.zip?

so which fediverse platform dev isn’t evil?

Heck if I know, but at least we know of the ones who are (eg.: feddit.org are “good German soldiers”).

I get to upvote tankie memes and downvote zios, best of both worlds.

Counterpoints:

• regarding “CCP politics and shadow profiling”, it’s referring to a few content filters that Piefed can do, but they are disabled by default and are all configurable: https://piefed.zip/c/fediverse/p/1005977/piefed-admin-settings-that-allow-to-enable-or-disable-content-filters-they-are-disabled-by#post_replies
• regarding “a chip against heteronormativity and weirdness”, https://piefed.blahaj.zone/ is using Piefed, which they probably wouldn’t do it the dev was a bigot. Also, pronouns are built-in the platform.

If you want to know a bit more about Rimu, the main Piefed dev, he made an interview a couple of months ago: https://tubefree.org/w/jLPZXv1Jynv7LRcuoteARf

He’s usually quite nice and helpful. That’s not always the case with people who try to spread disinformation about Piefed.
