Edit about the 4chan image blocking, I asked Rimu directly:

I wrote a long message about how that checkbox only notifies about federated posts.

So the difference is for local posts it blocks the creation of the post entirely, but for federated posts it just notifies the admin.

A few people in the other thread assumed that it was required to fork the code to disable those filters. That's not the case, the filters can be configured, and are off by default.

To hide the reputation system, here's a line of CSS that admins can add in the admin area to hide it for every user

That CSS line can also be used by any user wanting to hide the score at the user level.

"You can be pretty sure anyone with 1488 or even just 88 in their user name is a nazi, for example.

Speaking of which, PieFed has an optional approval queue for new registrations. New accounts with “88” in their name are always put in a different /dev/null queue that leads nowhere. The UI tells them they’re waiting for approval but that approval will never come."

This is ham-fisted.
People born in 1988 or August 8th or people of east asian descent might all like the number 88 or 888888
