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.
- https://feddit.online/communities?search=enoughmuskspam
- https://piefed.ca/communities?search=enoughmuskspam
- https://piefed.europe.pub/communities?search=enoughmuskspam
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
This is disturbing. I’m glad I’m on feddit.dk and I saw “my” admin (SorteKanin) in the comments of that “more information here” comment thread pointing out how that shouldn’t be hardcoded into the software.
I don’t think you know what “hardcoded” means.
Edit: https://anarchist.nexus/modlog?suspect_user_name=bb84%40mander.xyz
Everyone is wrong but you about the definition of words, got it.
You are right but piefed is hardcoded to violate basic compatibility in fediverse: https://communick.news/comment/8015757
For some items, yes.
For OP’s nonsensical claim, no.
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_plusvariable via the GUI?You can’t. You can get around the filtering by other means, but that doesn’t make
seven_things_plusany 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.
bruh, no way
No way is right, it’s not hardcoded (there’s just a filter on the word ‘musk’ as a sane default that admins can choose to remove).
It is hardcoded. The string ‘enoughmuskspam’ is right here https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/b7a9ea0eea3a80f710e0b5b63cf0bbecde60f8bf/app/admin/routes.py#L373
I have noted in other threads and will note again here because people keep attacking me about this: hardcoding does not mean the behavior is not circumventable. It just means the string is in the source file (rather than a config file or database).
Wait so its not against specifically anti musk its on musk in general.
Yeah the title of this post is confusing.
It reads as if piefed blocks anti-Musk content, not blocks Musk content.
The string ‘enoughmuskspam’ is in the code https://mander.xyz/post/46665744/24986265
It is specifically the string ‘enoughmuskspam’ in the code https://mander.xyz/post/46665744/24986265
So it is hard coded
Thanks for the context!

but it isn’t a “hardcode”
But you showed a constant with the words. Even if you can disable this, I’d call it a “hardcoded list”.
Hey. I saw your comment but didn’t get to reply before you deleted it. I think you should restore it. Ignore the tankies bullying you.
I fully stand by my wording that it is “hardcoded”, but it is good that you show the code, so people can judge for themselves.
I appreciate the sentiment. I just don’t have the energy to deal with people being mean atm. And for what its worth, I don’t agree with my own take on the use of the word hardcoded anymore, I think you were justified to say it is hardcoded.
“Anticommunists” aka people who dare to be critical of Russia and China
+10 piefed social credit
Communists are quite critical of China and Russia, we just base those criticisms in reality instead of wild US imperial propaganda. What you’ve said is no different from when a right winger says “I was banned for a simple difference of opinion.” What’s the opinion? What’s the “criticism”? Because if it’s something absurd and offensive with no basis in fact, of course you’re going to get pushback. People whose ideology puts a premium on factual analysis and verification tend not to appreciate it when people whose ideology depends on maintaining a false sense of superiority by creating an ambient haze of vague scandal around all alternatives show up and start slinging bullshit around.
There’s plenty of Russia and China criticism even on the political comms
Liberals : Russia :: Republicans : Obama
Can’t have a real critical conversation with them because they’re too caught up in the fever dreams that were pushed on them from the top down. You’re too busy defending reality, which in turn drives them into further madness as they perceive it as
a defensea conspiracy to deceive them by a paid robotic shill.Putin’s Russia is a nationalist and imperialist state. The Russian army has committed countless war crimes in Ukraine.
The PRC is an authoritarian state with a deeply corrupted party, extreme capitalist culture, and very little regards for individual privacy or rights. It is also engaged in homogenization campaigns suppressing the social and cultural identities of Uyghur people, constituting an ethnocide.
PieFed is promoted by people claiming they want to take influence away from the tankies who support Russia and the PRC. But from the hardcoded behavior discussed in this very thread we can see the PieFed’s devs and promoters intend to suppress criticisms against the (countries|institutions|capitalists) who they support, even though these entities have committed no less evil than Russia and the PRC.
Does that satisfy you?
We’ll see if I get banned from .ml now (not being snarky. i genuinely am curious to see if they will ban me).

Let people do a bad job of running their own instance. Its their instance. So long as everyone is informed on how it works, who cares?
Hm noch. They offer you a Option to filter it. Atlest at piefed.zip
