    Rimu isn’t developing tools to shut out capitalists because Rimu doesn’t have a problem with capitalists. I’m aware that anyone can use the blocking tools, my point is that the purpose of developing a tool that is easier to censor with is to support the views of the creator, that has already shown bias in the code by default blocking Hexbear and Lemmygrad. You probably have interacted with Rimu more than me, I’ve seen enough to build my conclusion that it’s easier to censor on PieFed and the motive behind these differences is largely ideological.

      The blocking tool no more shuts out communists than it does capitalists.

      This is just baseless conjecture. You have no idea why Rimu implemented that tool like that.

      It’s baseless prejudiced conjecture when it comes to the blocking tools. It may surprise you to know that most functions on Piefed aren’t designed with the specific idea of sticking it to communists.
