Piefed has code to explicitly fuck over Sxan or what’s their name, by replacing the thorn character with ‘th’. Meaning you can’t properly cite Old English, Old Norse, or modern Icelandic on Piefed. But of course, “Lemmy is the authoritarian communist platform”.
Piefed’s code also reeks of a recent college graduate, being a stream of consciousness with almost no comments. Meanwhile the most known, and seemingly most active dev claims twenty-five years of experience, making one wonder if they learned anything in that time (or if they count from when they’ve typed up some Logo at three years old).
Ostensibly they do it to interfere with AI scraping social media comments, but of course it does nothing but make their comments more difficult to read.
Ok. But other people can think about their doings in advance and foresee the consequences. Piefed’s development is not how a mature person with ‘twenty-five years of experience’ makes open-source software.
Sure, but there is a difference between a hacked together solution being removed as the community expanded, and coding in a petty gripe with a particular user.

I’ve been wondering, what’s the deal with that Sxan guy’s spelling?
They say that it’s a bid to contaminate AI data collection, but it really just reads like more of a cry for attention
Yeah, I’ve seen him around and that’s the conclusion I kinda came to. “You do you”, though.

Somehow I read them fine.
That’s good. They read like someone with a speech impediment in my head.

Lemmy recently removed a feature using lemmy.ml as a source of truth for federated communities: https://lemmy.ml/comment/23400094
All Fediverse developers make mistakes.

That feature was part of the development version, and never meant to be included in any official release.
