PieFed bakes in preferences against left wing groups, and you've been launching a crusade against anarchist instances lately. As much as you believe yourself to be left, you've done your best to left-punch wherever you can, and have unilaterally made decisions greatly impacting the functionality of PieFed to suit your overwhelmingly liberal views. This isn't even getting into how you agree with racist conspiracy theories like the idea that China is kidnapping people for organ harvesting.
Also, it's nice that you admit that PieFed has an ideological slant and that you do develop PieFed with that in mind, socsa swore up and down that that wasn't the case for some reason.
To heap insult on top of injury, Rimu has now unilaterally, and without any notification (to anyone it would appear), chosen to silently suppress anarchist.nexus and quokk.au from appearing in the PieFed.Social instance chooser. So, just more of the same old trolling and drama farming from him that we have been getting for weeks now.

pughitler is a mod on piefed.social and nobody seems to care about his abusive behavior.
rimu gets temporarily banned for 'emulating a zionist' and now suddenly it's a priority to address moderator abuse... via censorship
incredible
Don't you dare call out his actions, but he'll gladly smear you over his private kingdoms where you can't defend yourself.
I'm sure it's been in the pipeline a while but the instance silencing feature being added is great timing
Rimu is single handedly generating so much misinformation and nonsense that essentially anyone else who works on Piefed alongside of him is becoming radioactive. Not sure how much I want to trust someone who is willing to help further Rimu's behavior. Working on Piefed used to be a bullet point and it is rapidly turning into an asterisk.
It's also very telling they named it noqanon.
While sounds great weird that would trigger ml warnings as no one would consider qanon that
The noqanon list and the OP warning sign are two different things.
The first is a default url blocklist that gets pulled on first start of a Piefed instance and which contains extreme right-wing and mis-information outlets.
The domain warning sign mentioned in OP is a separate list only manually added to the piefed.social flagship instance.
This gets back to how poorly designed piefed is and rimus explanations.
The domain block list having more than qanon and being part of the install while not saying anything about what it actually brings in is poor design choice. Along with it apparently only being disabled by individually checking the list in the ui.
Rimu made it sound like they were connected in the qanon repo
Yep, Rimu does the tactic of conflating the left and the right to make their position as a right-wing liberal seem to be left. It's just rehashed horseshoe theory bullshit.
