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

        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

          Edit : asked Rimu, here’s the answer:

          I wrote a long message about how that checkbox only notifies about federated posts.

          So the difference is for local posts it blocks the creation of the post entirely, but for federated posts it just notifies the admin.

          https://chat.piefed.social/#narrow/channel/3-general/topic//near/10529

          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

          • the thorn character filter
          • 196 and other memes communities not being federated by default
          • the “this filter” being configurable

          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

          • multicommunities
          • onboarding process asking new joiners what they are into
          • crossposts comments consolidation
          • communities moderation features
          • posts and user flairs
          • keyword filters

          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.

      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.

            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

                Here = comm

                And https://lemmy.world/comment/21861362 which leads to

                https://piefed.social/comment/9670365

                Where both calls anyone but them looking at the code amateurs and can’t understand people wouldn’t provide feedback if thought bad things in code were purposely done as so many projects will do that

                There’s no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we’re right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water’s fine!

                  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.
