The latter I guess could be used to stop Musk spam (since the community is literally nothing but Elon Musk news) but not allowing the word “memes” in a community name?
Utterly stupid.
But they do appear to be fans of Carlin based on the first 7 banned words.
There’s no racial slurs in there either. I might have assumed this was merely an example an operator is meant to edit themselves, but these are some weird ass choices for even that.
I don’t think that’s the reason. The code mentions it filtering out “low-effort” communities so the devs probably didn’t like seeing so many posts from it on their frontpage.
# sort out the 'seven things you can't say on tv' names (cursewords), plus some
# "low effort" communities
You’re wrong. Rimu has never expressed any objection to pro-LGBT sentiment and has even done interviews in regards to that. I have seen him ban people for anti-LGBT bigotry. This particular ruleset looks like a copy and paste from the retention rules that piefed.social currently has that doesn’t save data from communities after 6 months. (RImu doesn’t have a high opinion of meme-themed content and believes it to be a drain on server storage).
I agree all of it should be optional, and I believe it currently is anyway as instance owners can revert this.
Because it’s an enormous flood of content that overwhelms trying to browse All otherwise, especially by New. Or at least that was the case a couple years ago, maybe it’s changed now that the community has split up into 3 parts.
It was particularly a concern back before Lemmy had implemented the Scaled sort function and changed how Hot worked. Perhaps PieFed, back upon tinkering with its own sort functions, similarly tried to make that process easier to see content other than from 196 and memes?
They also put “memes” and “enoughmuskspam.”

Well, it seems specifically 196 just got removed: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/b7a9ea0eea3a80f710e0b5b63cf0bbecde60f8bf
I wonder why the dev had an issue with 196
If I had to guess, 196 is more queer positive.
That still makes no sense
It does if your a bigoted shit face.
Let’s not make those assumptions based on an old filter list
Correct, it doesn’t. But some people find a way to be bothered by it.

Actually, they only removed it from 2 places. It’s still there https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/cli.py#L1026
Duplication of constants is a cherry on that whole cake of stream-of-consciousness code style.
