      lol hardcoded shit everywhere

      It’s open source. Why not? People who want a configuration menu can create a patch.

      Downvoters, do you have an argument? What is it but entitlement to demand that free open source software should be written differently from what the programmer wants?

        Just because code is open source doesn’t mean shit code can’t be called out. Shit code is shit code.

          But why is hardcoding shit code for open source code? The code is easier to read because no if or switch statements are needed to distinguish between the options. No configiration menu has to be maintained.

        I didn’t downvote your comment. But let me argue anyway.

        Lots of people flock to PieFed because it is not made by the Lenmy devs who are unpalatably heavy handed in their “moderation” on the ml instance. One would hope this means PieFed offers more freedom to use the software how you like. So it’s funny that it’s even stricter “moderation” AND NOW ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.

          Lol, people so afraid of Lemmy devs bowing to the CCP that they migrate to the fediverse option that actually implements CCP societal control features. McCarthysim really did a number on the Amerikkkan brain, dunno if it is impacting people from elsewhere that much. This surely was not in my 2026 Bingo card!

          It’s open source. Every instance can change it and if something is common, people can maintain the patch together.

          Lenmy devs who are unpalatably heavy handed in their “moderation” on the ml instance.

          Which is their instance. I don’t like the hate they receive. They have established a social network that allows everybody to run their own instance with their own moderation. To present them as the villains must be nurtured by the establishment.

          So it’s funny that it’s even stricter

          Absolutely
