    Apparently piefed smuggles in domains from a completely different repo that clearly isn’t just “right-wing domains”[1] and it requires an admin to unblock them all individually.

    Every site on that list was reviewed personally.

    so it is a personal semi-hardcoded blocklist, that requires an admin to go through and re-vet every site individually to see if they agree with your assessment or not.

    There’s an ideological slant to PieFed for sure, and it’s very much in favor of the left.

    lol. lmao even, you put a warning on electronicintifada.net like come on now

      It’s not smuggled, during initial setup when installing the blocklist it prints this on the screen:

      Added 'No-QAnon' blocklist, see https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon

        If I saw this, I would not assume that Gawker, WikiLeaks, or FOX Weather would be included in a blocklist called “No-QAnon”. The list itself might not be smuggled, but it’s not accurately representing itself either. If it has simply evolved over time, then it needs to be renamed or split into separate blocklists.

        Additionally, if someone installing this changes their mind or realizes that what they received is not what they expected, then requiring them to either directly modify the database or click “remove” over 3000 times is arguably a dark pattern.
