MODERATORS
They're pretty explicit about what they don't like when you sign up. That's why I joined it
Each instance should be free to set their own rules. Individual instances blocking those communities is fine, but the PieFed devs hardcoding a blocklist that applies to all instances (especially one as opinionated and arbitrary as this) is absolutely not.
They... are though? Maybe I am dumb, but I do not understand why each instance setting its own rules would apply to all other instances? Say if you made your own instance, you would set your own rules, but the other instances are free to set theirs as well? Like if you want to allow communities such as "4chan", then go ahead, but if others want to block that, then why shouldn't they be allowed to?
Definitely agree that this issue should be made much more transparent and easier to change, like not hard-coding it.
This filter is not part of any specific instance, it's hardcoded into PieFed's code. That means it applies to every PieFed instance unless the instance admin explicitly patches the code to remove it.
