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.
The flagship PieFed instance also rolled out a feature marking various other sorts of outlets - among them, resources considered AI slop and Marxist outlets. These are specific to piefed.social.

Why YSK: Many users have hard time choosing between Lemmy, PieFed, and Kbin/Mbin. Users that prefer a more curated and politically uniform experience might prefer PieFed over the alternatives. Users that are right-wing, Marxist, or generally concerned about global censorship of the Fedi-/Threadiverse, might opt for other options instead.
Note: The post is only meant to inform users of the potentially important differences between Threadiverse platforms. Any ideologically charged discussions are better left in the respective topic.
I’m not going to look through the code for proof for an online argument, but the reason I believe that is because there is/was code that searched for anonymous and No. in any uploaded image, and failed with a fake error message when you try to upload it
laugh in other words you dont know wtf you’re talking about. no one is saying piefied’s codebase doesnt have block functionality or that its available by default. the problem is you shits are saying its mandatory, when in reality it almost CERTAINLY isnt and then you can’t even be half assed enough to ask an LLM to find the code to prove your position.
stop wasting everyone’s time with your childish nonsense. and be happy someone else did your homework for you and you were entirely incorrect.
I literally installed it the day before yesterday, the first page of logs was applied x blocklist, applied x blocklist… Unless the pyfedi repo is unofficial?
