Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)
-
Which is why it’s important for users to reject attempts at splitting the network into different codebases in the firstplace.
It is what it is. Mbin also existed before Piefed.
That piefed and many of its users reject working with lemmy devs on principle over political grievance doesn’t change or justify the fact that they are destroying the democratic nature of the federated network they’re taking advantage of.
You're assuming some hand has been offered that has been slapped away by Rimu. I'm not aware of this. I'm pretty sure they have shared information about things in the past.
Which is why defederation is a last resort and usually requires some democratic discussion as an instance. Same with instance-banning users - that ability is limited to admins, which means users can hold them accountable if there’s abuse. It’s a reason why i consider users who go out of their way to foment division against other instances or users over petty disagreements are caustic and unwelcome, but are at least still working within a decentralized and democratic framework. When any user has the ability to create the same kind of holes in the network, all accountability vanishes and it starts to look like swiss-cheese.
I mean yes, and no (depends on the instance), that's true but you know as well as I do three instances of note are heavy defederated (hilariouschaos being the third incase you were wondering). Plenty of smaller sloppy attempts also get defederated fast too, usually stuff like maga.place.

Mbin isn't nearly as egregious as piefed in the way they introduce breaking changes to the network.

I'm not assuming anything, it's been stated repeatedly. Rimu could implement his preferred features in ways that don't degrade the health of the network but chooses not to.

I'm not sure what relevance that has, but you can count those instances on a hand missing two fingers (i'd note that dbzer0 does not defederate from 2 of the three that I assume you're referring to, nor would I advocate for it). It would be interesting for someone to map out just how much of the fediverse is effectively being defederated for piefed servers with large user block lists - i imagine it's quite a large chunk, especially when the most popular users to block are the ones producing the most activity. The larger those servers grow, the bigger those holes will become.

Is Mbin updated much?

Have Lemmy mods approached Rimu at all?

Just noting that there are already holes of communication due to defederation (hexbear/lemmygrad are pretty medium sized).

He chose to fork his own code rather than work with them - I think the better question is why he hasnt vetted his changes with the existing codebase better, or why he cant be bothered.

So in your mind just the existence of an alternative platform that reads Lemmy instances here is in itself evidence of a problem? It seems like that to me.
I haven't seen a single instance owner (on piefed or lemmy) complain about the interpretation of the block system as developed by piefed so far.

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!).
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.
Lemmy users be like “why can’t we all get along…”, yet feel absolutely free to criticize every tiny aspect
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.
ignoring how e.g. lemmy.ml kicks people out of communities
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!

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.
"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 -

Can I as a user see which of these settings an instance has enabled?
