        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.

            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.

                    It’s literally like that. That’s how the Global tab works. You’re seeing off-site content. It may even be off-platform, entirely.

                    I think your frustration is more with the basic functionality of the Fediverse, in a more general sense, than with FireFish specifically.

                    Maybe, but the complaint seems to be based on a misunderstanding of how federated content works. What they’re describing is literally content not on the instance they’re saying it’s on. Their own screenshot even shows that the content in question is from a different instance than the one they’re using, which to me sounds more like an issue with understanding how the Fediverse works than with Firefish.Social’s moderation ability.

                  The question is, if there are instances that are full of transphobic content, and they’re reported, does firefish defederate them. If they do, the view will improve. Although, global feeds are never very useful.

                    “Firefish” doesn’t defederate from anything because it’s just a set of software. The specific instance that that user visited might not defederate from right wing instances, but other firefish instances do.

                1- Never join the official instances. They always are too big that are almost impossible to moderate.

                2- In which timeline did you see those comments? Because if it was global, it’s possible these are unknown servers the admins aren’t aware of. (The trending section is global)

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

        Just to be clear, which firefish server did you join?

        I just checked out the main server (firefish.social) and there wasn’t any transphobic content in the “Global” or “Local” section.

        I’m wondering if you ended up on a really toxic right-wing fediverse instance, that happens to use Firefish as its software, and so the Firefish main site stupidly/ignorantly listed it as a possible place to sign up. If that’s the case they need to get rid of it.
