These aren’t specific community *blocks (they’re not blocks as such). They’re keywords. It jus so happens that “196” was a community as well, although that has now been removed.
At least PieFed allows you to edit the list. I still agree that it should not have been hard-coded, but this is not a case where Lemmy is a shining beacon of all goodness and PieFed is pure shit - both have their flaws, and Lemmy’s is MAJOR (and unchangeable) whereas by comparison, PieFed’s is fairly minor as these things go.
Plus haven’t the PieFed devs already changed the code in response to this very thread? (In 2 of the 3 places, but I haven’t taken time to actually look directly myself, and the 3rd place should also be changed too, if it hasn’t been already, to remove the list from being hard-coded.) The PieFed devs, instead of telling the userbase to piss off and only reluctantly change things after a large outcry, are (especially by comparison, but also very much objectively too?) VERY responsive to feedback? I bet you will even be thanked for bringing this to their attention… though in the future you could also try submitting a codeberg ticket:-).
Anyway, you are helping make the installation experience more streamlined and smooth for future users, so (while I have nothing whatsoever to do with the devs), I will say thank you just by myself!:-)
Wasn’t that only blocking slurs and not specific communities?

Yes they’re keywords, but they also happen to be the exact names of threadiverse 8 communities, so that’s pretty specific to me.
Wait until you see what is coming up next in Lemmy:
