PieFed blocks !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world (and a few other communities) by default. At the time of writing this post, you can search for the comm on many PieFed instances and you will not find it.

The block is only by default. The admin can choose to override it. Many big instances have done so, including

  • piefed.social
  • piefed.world
  • piefed.zip

See more information here.

        That is not what hardcoded means.

        The “hard” part of “hardcoded” means you have to edit the source directly to make changes (or at runtime via memory editing).

        It does not mean “written as part of the source but editable via gui”.

        Unless there is some other item I’m missing here from a casual glance at common filters included as an example, then yes, you are misunderstanding the term “hardcoded”.

          How would you go about changing the seven_things_plus variable via the GUI?

          You can’t. You can get around the filtering by other means, but that doesn’t make seven_things_plus any less hardcoded.

          Maybe the term hardcoded have some particular negative connotations for you. In that case please explain what that connotation may be.

          The correct definition just means data in the code rather than loaded at runtime. It is not necessarily a bad thing (things like unit conversion factors are perfectly reasonable to hardcode). In this case, I’ll let everyone judge for themselves if hardcoding ‘enoughmuskspam’ is acceptable.
