I noticed this post on Mastodon, wanted to open it in the threadiverse, which nowadays I usually do through Piefed.social. Copied link In Piefed, Search > Retrieve remote post "Post not found". Me: what? Did the author or mod delete it already??? Clicked on the link to try, it opened on the native instance (lemmy.world) just fine! Neither author nor mod has deleted it. I read the article. After, I investigate a bit more. On Piefed.social, I am subscribed to !fediverse@lemmy.world , I can open that /c & can see posts there. But not this post. It’s missing. Come to my Lemmy instance (lemmy.ca) with Alex front-end, confirm I can see the post from here. Twice even. So why can’t I see it on Piefed.social??? Can I not rely on Piefed.social? Censorship, or just an innocent federation issue?

Oh you didn’t know? Piefed is an extremely censored and politically biased platform lol. The main dev has made it his own little authoritarian platform. It blocks all sources that don’t align with his political beliefs and ideologies, and auto blocks/tags users that he doesn’t like because they disagree with his ideologies. It’s disheartening to see more and more people using Piefed.

Piefed.social is run by an admin with similar views on censoring leftists as the Tesseract devs. There was a whole fiasco about it a few months back, where the lead Dev of Piefed kept lists of Leftists and other users they permabanned for pointing out issues with Piefed’s code. OP is on that list.
