    This comment was a month ago, and he was aware of people heavily slamming his project and showing no interest at all in actually sharing it to him.

    He isn't specifically "calling out" anyone directly. All he says here is that the stuff people are complaining about here have been on piefed and not hidden since day zero.

    Notice the quote from them specifically saying everyone but us are amateurs.

    He isn't specifically "calling out" anyone directly. All he says here is that the stuff people are complaining about here have been on piefed and not hidden since day zero.

    Again he's linking to the thread calling out others for looking at the code.

    And again most are pointing out how terrible the code is and how odd it is for some of the features to exist.

      "Amateur speculation". I've directly replied to many people who have made false conclusions about parts of the code they looked at, mostly notably the claim that continues to persist that lemmy.ml is also defederated out of the box based on a complete misunderstanding of a specific code snippet.

        I wonder, would these users still use PieFed if they have seen its codebase? Maybe it can be one day but right now it's 100% not production-grade software. Nonsensical hardcoded bans and blocks everywhere. >1000 lines of Python in a single file. Uses regex to parse HTML. The list goes on...

        Maybe it can be one day but right now it’s 100% not production-grade software.

        Why should we only use "production-grade software" software on the Fediverse? Isnt the beauty that we can use all kind of software as long as it interacts decently via the relevant protocols?

        Also I am already using Lemmy, which is pretty known for its opinionated devs. This does not seem to be anything that would stop, especially when I can actually read the code as its in a language I can atleast understand somewhat

            I just want to make sure people know what they're getting into before they decide to use PieFed. If you know about the issues and decide to use it, I totally respect that decision.

                  Saying some are doing amateur speculation is not the same thing as saying anyone who has issues are "amateurs".

                    Except that is exactly how it reads.

                    ignore everyone else looking at the code because they're amateurs as we're the only professionals here

                      Just thought I'd note this. Main beneficiary so far seems to be piefed.ca.

                      Right now i don't see any movement in the amount of donations (patreon, liberapay). so i am not kinda skeptical this will end up being meaningful growth.

                        I saw it in a post about people getting temp bans for simply stating that EU allies would be right to defend Greenland in case of military action. Might just have been one of several grievances with Reddit at the moment though

                            That's simply not how I read it at all. He's referring to people taking excerpts from the code and running away with long conclusions and motives based in some cases on presuppositions and assuming bad intent.

                              It reads as being upset anyone would dare read it. Especially with replying to the person pointing it out they wouldn't review anything they thought was intentional coded in a particular way.

                              Note this is completely separate from by stance after reading some of the code and stance of the level of it.

                                    That was an interesting read.

                                    Seems like piefed should fix a lot of that. For some of it, at least make it configurable and not hard coded. But that blocked user stuff seems like a real problem.

                                        So there are two purposes for this "bad list"

                                        • for filtering which communities to federate with in the beginning
                                        • to calculate user reputation score

                                        correct?

                                        The federation filtering is blocking IMO. It affects what comms users of the instance can find (via search).

                                        Anyway maybe in Your PR You should make a separately configurable list for each purpose. I don't see a reason why it should be the same list.

                                        No, just one purpose, the second one.

                                          I know, but you also can't see anything but positives from anything they do
