I simply fail to see the relevant connection between deciding how blocking should function on Piefed and being anti-communist here at all. I think a position on harassment is a far more likely relevant aspect here. You are making completely baseless assumptions. There’s nothing that really can be done at an admin/instance level to somehow specifically mitigate communism beyond blocking Hexbear/Lemmygrad in the first place.
My point isn’t that harassment isn’t a reason for the blocking anti-feature, but that Rimu’s anti-communism is also likely having an impact on making stronger censorship tools. Again, you’re reading absolutes when I’m talking about influence.
This again is completely baseless. You have not spoken to Rimu regarding this and have zero idea of his motives. I see zero connection here. I can easily imagine a hypothetical communist social space designing a block system to work in the same way.
No reason to say they have zero relation. If we consider it a scale of relation between 0 and 100, it’s just as unreasonable to say it has 0 relation as it is to say that they are fully related. My point is that it has some influence.
I already have, Rimu opposes the widespread communist presence on Lemmy and is making tools that make it easier to censor views admins deem unsavory. I even gave you an example of it in practice.
I see no reason whatsoever to believe that Rimu’s anti-communist stances have absolutely nothing to do with features implemented into PieFed.

But we aren’t talking about hypotheticals, we are talking about real views and someone who allows those views to influence their development of FOSS.
Again, no reason to connect Rimus anti-communist position with his stance on how blocking should work. They have zero relation.

Explain to me how they could be connected please.
