Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social

ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.
It's open source. Every instance can change it and if something is common, people can maintain the patch together.
Lenmy devs who are unpalatably heavy handed in their “moderation” on the ml instance.
Which is their instance. I don't like the hate they receive. They have established a social network that allows everybody to run their own instance with their own moderation. To present them as the villains must be nurtured by the establishment.
So it’s funny that it’s even stricter
Absolutely
That isn’t how it works. They would have to FORK the code and maintain their changes going forward with every update. That is poor software development practices no matter how you look at it.

But why is hardcoding shit code for open source code? The code is easier to read because no if or switch statements are needed to distinguish between the options. No configiration menu has to be maintained.
Open source just means people are free to edit it and distribute their changes. Hardcoding things like this is bad practice no matter if it’s open source or not. It’s not maintainable. Maintainable as in easily maintainable, I.e., configuration files not code edits.

I think the Brave browser does it with Chrome. Wouldn't the source control tool do most of the maintenance?

I'm on your instance. I never encountered any of the filters mentioned in this thread.
You can always the details on !home@piefed.zip to be sure, the admins are quite reactive.
I was hoping to see a page with the list of instance rules. Mastodon and PixelFed seem to have one.

Chromium is a well-organized and mature codebase, which makes syncing changes relatively easy (also Brave's chageset is limited in scope, so less conflicts to worry about). PieFed is neither mature nor well-organized. Maintaining a downstream project from it would be a nightmare.

What's sad is that since
lemmy.mlis blocked by default, most PieFed users won't see it.Funnily enough piefed.social does not seem to block .ml

You're right, interesting

The code of conduct is linked in the About page showed at the bottom of the page

Calling people or ideas 'stupid' is ableist because it treats cognitive disability as an insult
Isn't there like a 20-30 IQ point (I know, I know) spread between average intelligence and intellectual disability? I always assumed stupid falls into that area.

That if chain is horrendous. You should have a config json file with an array of links and then use a for and check for each of them.
The advantage of having a config file is that it's easily for others to see everything that can be changed dynamically without touching the code, and it's much easier to maintain forks that change or extend the configurable behaviour.
Hard coding shit is bad because it's actually harder to maintain. No programmer worth their salt has difficulty checking the json file that has the configuration for X list, hard coding an if chain is bad coding.
