Piefed is cool! Lemmy is too! What's not cool? Infighting, it drives away new users. Unfortunately this seems a common sentiment...

Big cringe, not even hexbear admins do that.
Jesus Christ, did they call the word "stupid" ableism?
Hahaha, that's what jumped out to me as well.
Ableism is when I need mommy to call me a good boy
They also complained about a proper functioning block system lmfao
i mean, the people who have the time to sit there and nitpick the social justice awareness of source code... aren't exactly going to be the most well-adjusted individuals.
Even if that's the case (I don't know the author), I don't think it affects what he wrote in the linked post in any way.
Valid.
As stated, most of the things here can be turned off - and one part specifically is a complete misrepresentation.
Is it possible to disable how user blocking works?
If you're talking about defederation, then no: it's an updated version of the comment that properly explains how it works. To be honest, I think the correct interpretation is even worse: https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23664761
Their way of doing it honestly makes more sense imo.
No more than an instance on Lemmy can make it so blocked a counts can't reply to someone who blocked them. That's just contradictory blocking philosophies at play.
The way that the defederation claim was originally made was that Piefed automatically blocks lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad and automatically repopulates those instances as blocked if an instance owner wipes their defederation. This wasn't true. And lemmy.ml has never been on the autoblocklist.
In my opinion, this blocking philosophy is hurtful to the Fediverse. To me it feels like EEE from the PieFed devs who clearly dislike the Lemmy devs.
Yes, you're correct! And the message I linked no longer includes this disinformation.
I don't know why you think a different philosophy the blocking system from Piefed, regardless of what you think of its impact - has anything to do with any dislike of Lemmy devs.
No, this particular feature is not related to a dislike of the Lemmy devs. I just wanted to say that I don't like this feature.
But some of the features mentioned in the linked comment are related. Sorry if that wasn't clear, I'm not a native speaker.
Only the automatic instance defederation.
