I think Rimu has tied this warning to the peoplesdispatch.org domain. I think this is a custom thing he did to his instance, because I didn’t find it in the PieFed codebase. ~~[ETA: it is in the codebase, in a separate repo].~~ [ETA: I’m told that no specific site warnings are baked into the code, just the feature is. For site blocks, there is an optional default list of domains, which I’m told contains only far-right/fascist sites.]
I don’t think People’s Dispatch is even Marxist-Leninist. I think it’s an international anti-imperialist media site. But I wouldn’t assume Rimu could explain the difference or care that there is one. Maybe all anti-imperialists are tankies to him.
The blocked domains are, the ones with a warning like in the screenshot are configured on a per-instance basis
Ah, thanks. If the default blocklist only contains heinous sites, then I have no issues worth mentioning with this aspect of the code.
I mean it at least includes wikileaks.org, but I don't think anyone is gonna audit 3000 domains anytime soon.
It being in a separate repo is great but worse if not visible anywhere. Especially as it's just an install step calling it something completely different.
