Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)

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.

Original message: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.

Those checkboxes have been there since version 0.9. Ages.
The problem with grabbing small snippets of code is a lot of context is lost. Don't trust anyone who does that. PieFed has 50,000 lines of code so anyone showing you 50 lines is leaving out 99.9% of the picture.
As I said a month ago, anyone with honest questions about how things work who wants to make PieFed better knows where to find us. You don't have to be a coder, we need translators, designers, documentation writers, bug reporters, community evangelists and all that.

Wasn't the biggest concern and question why it didn't do an actual error message and is there any notes to say the performance impact having the 4chan filter on?
I'd also argue

Does absolutely nothing to assure people concerned about it being a thing. Like hiding it doesn't do anything about it being a thing

So what is the lowering reputation part. Are the mods grading your posts and then reducing their visibility?
I was a bit put off with the de federating from some of the other communities, but I had contact with one that I had to admit really needs to be de Federated from. Hexbear, chapotraphouse. Never had s problem with the .ml or whatever.
But I noticed some remove the word cunt too, which is a dealbreaker for me.

Where's the "4chan" one?

The software kind of scores you on a few metrics. Like the ratio of the things you vote up vs down. I'm sure there are others.

A lot of people looking at the code were saying these things were hardcoded, even after seeing an if statement which checks if the thing is enabled, which is straight up wrong unless you consider it hard coded because its coded, into the codebase.

No, it's just being downvoted negatively contributes to your reputation. Basically heavily downvoted accounts.

I don't know what you mean here. Who is "some" here?

Some of piefed instances put removed in italics where the word cunt was. Obviously that would only be a deal breaker for the ones that do it.

But just for the mods to know if you are a troll to help moderate better, if they remove posts, do they tell you it is removed or like Reddit does it appear like it is still posted but only you can see it?

No, that's it. Reputation (how much you are downvoted) and Attitude (how much you downvote)

Sounds like these settings are very reasonable to have turned on. Although I would be cautious of how the "4chan" filter is implemented, it sounds easy to overdo.

That’s precisely the common definition and understanding of the term.
E: Sorry, I see what you mean in context now. I thought we were talking about a different piefed feature with a similar anti-4chan label that used a set of hardcoded strings to blacklist comments. Yeah, the tesseract image filter isn’t quite what I’d call hardcoded in and of itself.

No, it should show as removed on here.

Aaaah, cool yeah. I never looked too deep at it. Just knew that much.

Oh no. Actually AFAIK its basically public for everyone to see unless disabled. At least attitude is. Yours is currently scored at 86. Meaning you've been 5x as likely to upvote as downvote. I think the rep one is different. Nothing more happening with it ATM than that I think.

I only remember Lemmy forcing its hard coded “slur filter” on all instances. It took a lot of backlash to get them to make it optional.
