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.
The direct links work to piefed.ca, and feddit.online. It’s not been added to europe.pub yet.
I’m going to suspect this is actually a community search bug, or an oversight.
Yeah, Piefed looks awesome, so does loops. I would like to join over there, but I’m not sure how being a mod here on sh.itjust.works would translate. They were thinking about adding an instance there too, but again, not sure if I can still mod here.
Piefed is honestly way better than Lemmy, in my opinion. it has a lot more options to configure how you interact with fedi, and also isn’t made by a transphobic tankie.
PieFed blocks the word “Musk” by default unless turned off. This isn’t an assault on anti-Musk speech. Neither would I characterize enoughmuskspam as anti-Musk.
‘hardcoded’ is not the same as default settings you can adjust with a toggle
Hard coding (also hard-coding or hardcoding) is the software development practice of embedding data directly into the source code of a program or other executable object, as opposed to obtaining the data from external sources or generating it at runtime.
Hardcoding has nothing to do with whether or not the filter can be disabled. It is about how the filter is implemented (comparing against a string in the code, as opposed to a string loaded from config file or database).
^ propagandists love using literal yet outdated or out-of-context definitions to argue their point.
Hardcoding has nothing to do with whether or not the filter can be disabled.
Coding it so that it does the thing with no option to turn it off is literally what hardcoding means.
go on, include the next line from the Wikipedia article I linked
Hard-coded data typically can be modified only by editing the source code and recompiling the executable, although it can be changed in memory or on disk using a debugger or hex editor.
And to add to this, configuring your server has nothing to do with the source code.
I think banning specific communities unrelated to illegal activity is bad, but this is not hard coding according to consensus definitions.

Somebody doesn’t understand what hard coding is.

I like how you “forgot” to include literally the next sentence.
Hard-coded data typically can be modified only by editing the source code and recompiling the executable, although it can be changed in memory or on disk using a debugger or hex editor.
Soft-coded data, on the other hand, encodes arbitrary information through user input, text files, INI files, HTTP server responses, configuration files , preprocessor macros, external constants, databases, command-line arguments, and is determined at runtime.
The block is soft-coded, not hard coded. And don’t try to selectively quote from a source the other person linked to you, it’s probably just gonna make your dishonestly obvious.
Here it is tho - https://piefed.social/c/enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world
Wow. You’re really determined to push misinformation now that Piefed is a threat, huh?

… do you not know what hardcoding is
Many big instances have done so, including
piefed.social
You mean… the dev’s own flagship instance?
do you not know what hardcoding is
Yes, to quote from Wikipedia

This is precisely what PieFed does.
The literal next sentence on wiki
Hard-coded data typically can be modified only by editing the source code and recompiling the executable, although it can be changed in memory or on disk using a debugger or hex editor.
But I guess that would undermine your point if you read one whole sentence further, huh?
lmao, you literally had this explained to you on a previous thread and you’re still on it. Really that desperate to simp for genocide denialism?

Exactly. If you want to make the same code logic block “notenoughmuskspam” (for example) instead, you would have to patch the source code. In this case there is no “recompiling the executable”, since its Python. I don’t really see that undermining my point though.
Your comments sound very angry so I am blocking you for the sake of the mental wellbeing of both of us. Have a nice day.

You literally pointed out that it’s an option that can be turned off as an admin option without the need for editing the code, which means the initial claim made in the meme is outright misinformation. But considering you’ve had that explained to you previously and still came back a day later to peddle bullshit, I’m guessing you’re already well-aware of that, and just trying to push the old fascist line - ‘Repeat a lie often enough and loud enough and people will believe it’.
This is like a freshman psychology student diagnosing people. Knows enough to be dangerous, but still very wrong.
well its fucking open source
That ‘more information here’ thread was an interesting read. I just use a keyword blocker userscript and it does most of what they hardcoded. I guess if people like to have their hand held while browsing, the defaults from piefed is for them.
The 4chan image blocking is excessive but the rest of the stuff just reads like the dev didn’t think anybody else would use their software so they implemented them ‘good enough’ for themselves.
That whole tread just reads like a counter-moral panic by the .ml instances.
i don’t think it’s good design but holy shit am i so sick of tankies throwing fits
I think the muskspam community search block is an oversight, especially given that “piracy” is in that codeblock and the communities referenced here can still discover piracy communities via the community search.
Even putting aside my grievances with tankies, this just reads as bad faith bs.
It’s likely a bug the OP has identified, nothing deliberate.
