I mean, the Lemmy devs are easily just as bad. Just try to have a political discussion on .ml while not being a scum sucking tankie. I would be negative levels of shocked if it turned out they added something like a global shadowban list or other similarly shit moves other fedi devs have made.
For all we know, Lemmy does not have that, though.
It’s one thing to spread your views through the developer’s instance and ideologically police it (not great, but eh, users can just block .ml), it’s another thing to bake your bias into code and make it affect every single instance. Besides, PieFed makes other, non-political controversial changes, too.

Oh yes, I didn’t mean to defend piefed with that. Just point out how this place isn’t exactly heaven vs the hell of Reddit.
This part is very true
