Not an answer to your question, but my experience of browsing lemmy has improved after hiding all scores.

That’s actually not the correct cover art for the album I listen to. I listened to the self-titled (according to Discogs) 10" with an equally or more disturbing cover art, but on Last.fm it’s called Fotografieren Verboten instead, so that’s maybe why it’s not the same cover art.

But I was too lazy to change it.

DeepL has a 1500 character limit when you’re not logged in.

Defend what, actually? A bunch of nazi voters?

The majority (of Germans) who are not nazi voters, assuming I understand you correctly and you mean AfD and other far-right wing parties.

Are Ukrainian soldiers also “pawns and cannon fodder for megalomaniacs, oligarchs, fascists, narcissists, or a military industrial complex”?

I haven’t used piefed myself but I wouldn’t want to switch to it because I feel like it gives more power to downvotes and karma (or “reputation” as they call it):

• Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default.
• People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.
• Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.

Those are three of the twelve points listed as differences to lemmy on their features page.

I also don’t agree with some of the points in their article on “PieFed features for growing healthy communities”.
