Fedia and Piefed have baked in code to block their users from seeing our replies, posts, and comments, while allowing a form of one way federation. (hexbear.net)

I think this warrants a fediverse wide boycott of all piefed/fedia instances until this is rectified.

Does it not have that slur filter still? Not sure that's really the reason people use lemmy

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

I don't think the slur filter is something enabled by default, or if it is, is a widely known setting.

[-] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 8 points 9 months ago

It used to be hard coded, not even in the database but in Lemmy code itself and couldn't be changed without forking. If I read the issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622 correct, this has changed though.

Ah, gotcha.

The slur filter was one of the most genius moves I've ever seen.

I think it's a bit heavy handed and there are legit reasons why one wouldn't want it, but it certainly repelled the right type of potential Lemmy admins
