Post #4272361

It does not help that for that issue, as too for this OP, a lot of misinformation is spread, which obfuscates the truth. e.g. in both situations, people claimed that something was hard-coded when in fact it was not. (Edit: this situation is terribly unclear, and one of Tesseract’s two main sources of blocking actually is reported to be hard-coded, even though another source turned out not to be hard-coded.) That doesn’t mean that PieFed isn’t actively censoring content (it is, and misleadingly so too), or that you should use it (use whatever software you want), but it does mean that the people criticizing it, having cited that specific “alternative fact”, were spreading lies. Probably without realizing it, yet they certainly don’t seem all that concerned about actually reading sources in order to find the truth. Which, yeah, complicates people’s decisions about what services to use.
