Fedia and Piefed have baked in code to block their users from seeing our replies, posts, and comments, while allowing a form of one way federation. (hexbear.net)

I think this warrants a fediverse wide boycott of all piefed/fedia instances until this is rectified.

Oh yeah for sure I was just curious as to your thoughts on people taking this project and building in their own ideologically motivated blocking. I know that there is nothing to be done about it as its all open source I just find it scummy that they do this in the first place. I get not wanting to federate with specific instances but the way this works is to just automatically make it one way only unless the person using their fork manually changes it.

I don't want to force them to see our posts or comments or anything idgaf about that I just don't want to have to guess which people I can see on my end can actually see my replies to them ya know?

Updating the defederation blocklist is done via the admin UI. A fork implies having to recreate the source code and modify it. This is different.
