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.
Is there anyway for users to know which piefed instances have this and the other censorship settings enabled? I was trying to upload an image the other day and kept getting an error and now i realize it was because of the code itself?!
Like why the fuck wouldn’t it tell me that image isn’t allowed instead of giving me an error
Edit: to be clear, your point is a good one, I am talking below about the discussion going on in the link.
lolz, so much disinformation there though. Like:
I think there might be one major instance that chose to do this, and I cannot even recall offhand which one, so obviously it’s not THAT major. This is some LLM-level of analysis right there (Lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net are blocked from many instances, and people often lump lemmy.ml together into a triad, hence lemmy.ml must be automatically blocked as well!).
Funny enough, Lemmy.ml disallows what they consider cuss words, which were even hard-coded, and when asked they told the community to take a hike (“create a fork and stop bothering us about it”), until after a huge outcry they did eventually relent.
Lemmy users be like “why can’t we all get along…”, yet feel absolutely free to criticize every tiny aspect (including - in fact especially - fictional ones) of PieFed, while ignoring how e.g. lemmy.ml kicks people out of communities they’ve never even so much as heard of for not praising Russia, China, or North Korea hard enough.
My side always does good and never bad, other side always does bad and never good. Much tribal, so cringe.
I’m the author of the comment you quoted, and even though you didn’t reply to me, I’d like to say that I assumed so because of this.
Edit: I was wrong about this, here is the default defederation list. For those who interested in what the linked part does, see https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23664761.
I disagree with the previous commenter attitude. But personally I don’t think it’s bad to discuss things we don’t like if the discussion is healthy.
Who is ignoring it? I think it was widely discussed on the Fediverse.
LMAO! At this point I’m pretty sure OpenStars has all of Lemmy.ml blocked, cuz your comment never showed up!
The quoted comment is for a different post: https://lemmy.ml/post/42339089/23675448
So I was surprised to see it being mentioned here.
No I mean your reply to OpenStars didn’t show up on piefed.social, because OpenStars has Lemmy.ml blocked, see RedWizards comment on how blocking functions on piefed.
Ah, makes sense!
