    HOLY SHIT… I just tried firefish.social and there’s TONS of right wing anti trans lies in their trending “news.”

    No fucking thank you.

      What are you talking about? Trending isn’t even working right now… sources please.

          Isn’t that a problem with specific instances/federation rather than the software itself? There are some hateful right-wing Lemmy instances too but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for you as the instance you use has probably defederated from them.

            I mean, to be fair, the person you replied to is using Kbin rather than Lemmy - they’re interacting with a Lemmy community though.

              They’re also not on your instance in the first place. You’re looking at the Global feed. That isn’t content from Firefish.Social, that’s content from elsewhere on the Fediverse. Firefish.Social admins can’t moderate content on another server.

                I went to firefish. I made an account. On fire fish I saw anti transgender astroturfing.
                Does this mean firefish is free from all douchebaggery?
                No.

                  I’m just saying, that’s like buying a window from Lowe’s, installing it in your home, and then being mad at Lowe’s for having a bad view. They can’t control what you see when you use the tool literally designed to look at the outside world.
