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.

Most of it is configurable and off by default. But the haters don’t mention that.
Yeah I’m reading that in other replies. Still you would put this in configs, for which you could have templates that come with certain defaults populated, rather than hard coding like this.
I’m doing this because I love doing it. Often that means the boring bits like documentation or config or general finesse get left out. I’m trying to paint with broad strokes in the hope that when others see what I’m trying to do they’ll join in and fill in the details.
As i asked there, which is the 4chan image blocking as the checks there simply say images from 4chan cause reputation loss.
I know you are amazing at promoting the fediverse but feels odd to see you ignore all the issues people bring up about piefed
Maybe that filter is the one missing, if that’s the case, that will be changed soon, as it always has been for every time a similar issue was raised
My personal stance is that Piefed has several features that Lemmy has been lacking for more than a year, and that prevent the Threadiverse from growing
None of the Piefed users ever said Piefed was perfect, that the code was elegant, or that there were no issues with filters such as the the three examples I listed above.
What we see from time to time is people spreading literal misinformation about Piefed, saying that those filters can’t be disabled by an admin (they can), and/or that a fork is needed to do so (it’s not) .
That’s why I created that post, because for whatever reason Piefed seems to now have haters, which seems counterproductive as it has the unique features listed above.
I personally would prefer people to say “Lemmy is fine, PieFed is fine too, both can operate with each other, my personal preference is X” rather insulting Piefed or Lemmy devs.
All the “features missing on Lemmy” could/should be implemented on the client. The fact that developers don’t understand that and go on to reimplement a whole part of the stack (instead of joining forces and helping the existing effort) is counterproductive.
Piefed just reminds me too much of sublinks where people simply hated the devs so instead of helping improve the software or even fork it just started fresh on something new.

I’d argue poor code will cause issues as users increase, both for instance admins and user performance.
Overall the issues brought up keep coming back to piefed bringing in some of the worst parts of reddit to the fediverse, like the reputation system. It’s designed how rimu wants people to interact in specific ways. And does not seem to care if it actually works with other non piefed instances.
Good

Everyone knows this. This is also just piefed.social.

Linking so people see it.
Isn’t that the instance of the dev?
Skavau@piefed.social 2 days ago
Yes. So? Piefed.ca is receiving the bump here.
You know Rimu made a thread in !piefed_meta@piefed.social so you can ask questions or express concerns.
goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 2 days ago
Because it’s a piefed feature set.
Based on rimus responses here and elsewhere they do not seem interested in feedback.
Even in their comment linking to a thread saying they welcome it, they were attacking someone providing it
