I’m tired of supporting instances that support that trash. Are there any suggestions or even a good up-to-date list available?

on an instance that federates with lemmy. also, idk if that’s better really.
Biased bc I’m a piefed user but I think piefed is far better
even with the built-in censors and autoblocks? :/
Everyone makes a big deal out of that as if most of it isn’t ml stuff like OP is talking about and/or stated upfront on Piefed’s website. Mastodon instances have other instances they don’t federate with too.
it is now. because people made a stink about it not being there. and even so it’s still not detailed. a few of the big things is stuff like ocr-ing every image post to figure out if it’s from a chan board, auto-hiding anything tagged with “meme”, adding a hidden second layer of “trustworthiness” scoring to every user independent of the score of their posts and comments which pushes them up or down the comment chain, and pushing/pulling those trustworthiness scores from a server periodically.
In the past Lemmy also had some hard-coded censorship. One could also say “it got deleted for now”
Configurable by admin. Choose an instance that does not do this
If I understand correctly what you mean, this is also configurable by instance admins. Choose an instance that does not do this
From what I’ve seen, in general in order to get below the threshold that blocks something one really has to work for it. And I haven’t noticed the score affecting where comments are placed. Also, one can choose to have comments sorted by time
As for vote quota - choose an instance that set it impossibly high
In exchange on Piefed there are
You can gather all communities you want to be in your private “cats” feed and those will be there, regardless if it makes sense or not. It’s feed curated by you. Or you can follow someone’s public feed and rely on their curation
I get that some of Rimu’s decisions or reactions might have risen some eyebrows. But I moved to Piefed because of it’s features and those have been threadiverse-changers for me
if you check the link, by default you start out untrusted.
as for features, i don’t really see the point of most of them except blocking and community merging, because the threaded model is pretty much incompatible with linear feeds. mbin does it better and without the baggage.
and yes, of course lemmy has censorship systems. the profanity filter especially is a weird choice. but the codebase is much less opinionated than piefeds. reading it, i get the impression piefed was written in anger.
Well, we can agree to disagree here but I do think this is a good idea ATM. When I see an account posting slop, seo spam or links to stuff that IMO shouldn’t exist in the first place, it’s always an account “registered today-ish”. They might change their MO with time but for now, even with requiring an application message, a new account is often a cat in a bag. Having this slow introduction makes it a bit harder to create harassment accounts in high volume
i’m not saying that it’s a bad idea per se, just that with the way the score is calculated you can become trusted in less than a second if you’re a bot while humans can take like a week.
Idk about the tag thing. I do know of the chan board thing and I mean fuck those places, I don’t particularly mind. The trustworthiness score tho is different, pls do tell.
the only places chan board images show up here is in greentext communities so that’s already a curated feed. as for the score, details are here.
