Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

This is slightly wrong, it's not that it doesn't display it, it's that it completely drops the comment. The comment is never added to the instance's database. It also is never federated, which I believe has the result that if you are talking on a community on the same instance as the blocker, the comment never makes it to other instances.

Interesting, so it's even more abusable than I thought!
Yup. Of course, replies to that reply will also never show up. So this is one of the reasons I wouldn't use piefed, if user A has blocked user B or instance B, you won't see the reply from user B or instance B and replies to that reply (regardless of who or from where). So there can be an entire interesting discussion being had that you as a user on some piefed instance cannot see, not because you blocked someone or an instance but because someone else did.

Yep, it's a really short-sighted decision with major ramifications that is entirely the product of the type of McCarthyites that would make their own Lemmy alternative just to curb communist influence. I was even considering proposing a PieFed commie instance to keep that connection going and increase exposure, but this seems like it wouldn't work at the moment.
Did you know, attempting to upload an image with "Anonymous" and ("No." or " N0") can^[1]^ decrease your "reputation"^[2]^ and you might^[1]^ be denied that upload, with as the code itself states: "deliberately misleading error message". Source
^1^: If the text check hasn't been disabled by the admin of your instance.

Incredible, every accusation is truly a confession.
And hey, if your reputation is severely bad (<-10) you cannot downvote
We had a code review yesteday, and this is only half of what we found.

are you planning on making a post about what you've found?
I did think about it yesterday but haven't chosen to do so yet.

I'm kinda surprised by just how bad it is, this is almost comically on the nose.
What else did you find?
If your comment ~~is nothing but~~ starts wtih a link to a gif reaction it will decrease your reputation and not accept the comment
Just a line below that if your reply_is_stupid it won't accept it either.
If your account is created_very_recently and the reply contains an em dash (—) it sends a notification to the admins
If your attitude is
< 0.0you cannot downvote either. Attitude is as the code says: "(upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes). A number between 1 and -1 is the ratio between up and down votes they cast"If your reputation is
<= -10you cannot create new chats.If your account has less than 100 reputation you are not considered trustworthy (what things you can do when you are trustworthy I don't know, but again literally social credit score)
If you have 0 posts, 0 replies, and your username is specifically 8 characters long, you cannot vote
Mods can kick you from a community which unsubscribes you from that community

So much for supposedly having more free speech than us.
Something I didn't see in yesterdays code review.
if your reply contains a blocked_phrase, it won't accept the comment.
Seems like Lemmy's slur filter, but worse in that it just won't accept the comment (and I think that all of these things I have linked to in PostReply.new() where it won't accept a comment, results in federated comments... just never showing up on a piefed instance)

I'm guessing this probably blocks any hint of not libaral-establishment-approved sentence too? Do you know what's in their block list?
No, it's set by the admins
