MODERATORS
What, why 196? Actually why any of these? I get 4chan and greentext sort of(?) but even ignoring the terrible programming practices here, this is really stupid.
Edit: actually almost makes me regret switching to Piefed
They just removed it from the list 15 minutes ago
Ah, that's good to hear. I'm still sketched out by the hardcoded blacklist of terms though. I'm very much a person against the sort of free speech that hinders other's freedom to live without discrimination but the filter still seems so arbitrary and entirely the response to the dev's own vandettas and that just gives me bad vibes.
On top of that, hardcoding English language terms to block is bad programming on a number of levels. Why isn't it a configurable list? The hardcoded values don't contain any other language variants so you can still have those communities if you speak something other than English (or just add an extra couple characters or anything really)
Maybe they've had a bad experience with the 196 moderators, as many have. I hope that's all it is.
The mods are awful. But basically all mods are awful. You have to have brain damage to want to be a moderator of an online community.
So it is a bit of a catch 22
I know the feeling (over here on .world)
Insane toxic trolls are insane toxic trolls regardless of how virtuous you might think their "cause" is.
