- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.

Fun fact: Piefed developers have baked into the code that their users cannot see any comments, replies or posts from hexbear (probably lemmygrad too) thus undermining the entire point of federation and forcing us to see their slop while being unable to reply or refute their wild claims.
Wait does it really?
Yes. It's in their database init code:
https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/f3e863d277932b55a15b1fe5043d750994fb8c14/app/cli.py
That feels like overreach, no?
It's bullshit cowardice.
You can still federate after the instance setup, like piefed.zip does
That's a relief. I'm guessing the admins have to remove the instance from the block list first?
Yes, probably. What I guess is that the code above just sets up the block list at setup, but then of course the admins can revise it as they see fit.
Doesn't Hexber use an allowlist for federation? Why keep these Piefed instances in your allowlist if you know this is the case?

Huh, weird they don't geoblock the UK like they do on their Lemmy instance.
I remember something about this, like Piefed being able to prevent users from logging from some countries without having to block the site as a whole
@Demigodrick@lemmy.zip ?
Yes there is potentially the option to block country codes in Piefed. We haven't fully utilised that yet but its on the todo list :)
Thanks for confirming!
What hexbear does is good, and what someone who disagrees with them is evil and bad. That's why they call it out.

Yeah I saw the dozen other times you spammed this.
I posted it 3 times, not sure why you are saying "dozen"
Because bad faith is the default for this person
Seems like it, they even made another post about this on !fediverse@lemmy.ml
This seems like it’s intended as a criticism of Piefed but boy does it not land that way.
