Wow, thanks for posting this. I actually considered switching to PieFed because people say a lot of good things about it but now I know I won't. I can't treat codebase like this seriously.
i already had made another account there. Now i deleted it. The ui was already kind of dumb there, this was the last straw. Or last haybale rather.
It is worth noting that almost all of these can be disabled by admins (https://anarchist.nexus/ has them disabled mostly iirc). Piefed has a lot of good features still.
How do you find out what instances have it enabled or disabled tho? And is there a published code of conduct / long-term committments on whether instances will change their minds about that at some point?
Same, this is good to know. This level of auto-policing comments is excessive.
