List of blocked words in community names:

greentext
usauthoritarianism
enoughmuskspam
political_weirdos
4chan

Seems like one of the PieFed devs has some opinions about the kind of content they dislike, and are unilaterally forcing that on every PieFed instance. I can somewhat understand filtering out curse words, but specific communities should not blocked by default, and definitely not hidden in a hardcoded list in the source code.

Edit: Important context here: https://lemmy.world/comment/21323475 Seems this blocklist is more limited in scope; it's not blocking federation entirely, just blocking (from what I can tell) their appearance in search and automatically federating with them when adding an instance. Still problematic to exclude specific communities in a non-configurable way with little justification IMO.

This isn't the first time I've encountered an extremely pointed line of code in piefed meant to fuck over one person specifically. It's very concerning now that it's a pattern.

[–] degenerate_neutron_matter@fedia.io 24 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Got any other specific examples?

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah, check out this dick move. This changeset exists just to fuck over one specific well-known community member who has never been accused of any kind of misconduct.

That's hilarious

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

It is, but it's not funny enough to make up for how shitty it is.

Ok thats based af. It’s not about stopping one idiot, it’s about saving thousands of people from being subjected to discussion-derailing derailing drivel.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah? How's that working out right now?

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I do, from the piefed repository, but it's buried in my history. I really want to remember, I'll reply again if I do.
