Fork PieFed and remove the 4 lines of code involved in doing this, then. See cli.py, line 160.
IDGAF.
This assumes that your spaghetti codebase has any value whatsoever! Anyone that forks it would be better off starting from scratch.
I've rarely seen a crashout so spectacular. Piefed going from the new darling to pariah software in the blink of an eye.
Can you imagine the shitstorm MOG would have raised if the same blocklist was hardcoded in lemmy?
MOG was upset that Lemmy had a slur filter for a time, they absolutely would crash out if Lemmy devs did anything near this.
Aren't they still using that as a complaint/call for censorship???
Yep, lol.
And then they will trip over themselves anytime PieFed does really biased moderation and writes things the devs hates into the code so all users are subject to it.
Every time.
Super entertaining to watch though.
