No, it does not. It has options to censor things, if the instance admin so chooses. A simple click of a box in a UI can control this? (As just one possibility.)
Misinformation item #2:
They seem to be deliberately funnelling users to instances that block three of the most active Lemmy instances because they don’t like the pinkos there
Lemmy.ml is not blocked by default, and as people are saying there, this nonexistent block is also not hard-coded (chiefly since it does not exist, but also the blocks for hexbear and Lemmygrad are likewise not hard-coded, but again are options to select or not).
Btw, here is a post from 2 days ago made by a Lemmy.ml user to a lemmy.ml community, appearing on PieFed.social, the flagship PieFed instance. Can you please explain to me then how lemmy.ml is blocked by default, and that is hard-coded right into the software?
Misinformation item #3:
this rational system gets them labelled with “Defederation: Negligent” in the piefed onboarding flow.
No, it doesn’t, nor was it ever thought to? For one, the word “negligent” does not appear anywhere in https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser (please do not take my word about any of this that I say here, look it up for yourself and see, but otherwise you are simply spreading someone else’s disinformation) - what it says is “Newbie-friendly” vs. “Choose your own adventure”, and PieFed.zip is clearly labeled as “Newbie friendly: Yes”, and shows up when the selector has chosen Newbie-friendly rather than Choose your own adventure.
The word “negligent” is highly charged (enshittified?), but the wording “Choose your own adventure” is not, which anyway, again, does not even apply here to begin with?
There was a question about whether PieFed.zip was fully “Newbie-friendly”, and if you look up hexbear’s history you will see why. Especially when they were caught lying to other instance admins. They brought this censorship upon themselves, by refusing to moderate themselves and then harboring people engaging in trolling behaviors outside of their instance, effectively protecting those bullies. Hexbears are leftist MAGAs, and many people on Reddit legitimately cite having left the Threadiverse as a result of being exposed to such, making any instance that federates with hexbear not 100% fully “Newbie-friendly”, and rather more “Choose your own adventure”.
On the internet, people sometimes lie. You do not have to choose to repeat their lies elsewhere as if they were 100% true (without even so much as a “I heard that people are saying…”). Honestly I expect better from someone on mander.xyz.
