Should there not be a fork at this rate?

    Piefed has a list of words they deem naughty built into the system. Fuck that bullshit. I'm an adult, I don't need some random nanny deciding what is and is not acceptable language for me.

    It can be and is disabled by other instances.

    I'm aware. But if people are going to criticize the Lemmy devs for their ideology which they don't inject into the architecture of their software it seems fair to point out the ideology of the Piefed devs that they do inject into theirs, even if said ideology is less egregious. I don't agree with the Lemmy devs on a lot of things, but I respect their ability to develop without such injections.

    Also, the context here is automatic federation of communities - right? It's not a keyword filter in the sense that you're referring to.

    Still an overreach, imo. Who are they to deem which communities are worthy, especially based on the "appropriateness" of the community name? It's entirely unnecessary, and Piefed would be better off without it.

    Having looked at the words and code specifically in reference here, I think it's a copy and paste job from another local function (the local piefed.social retention rules)

    If it's some kind of carryover oversight, that does definitely change the perspective. That said, as it exists today my criticism of nannying remains valid, so now that it's known if it is simple oversight then the devs should absolutely now remove it to the fix the issue.

    Basically piefed.social scrubs all posts and comments from those exact communities (that fall under those keywords specifically) after 6 months to save on space. Rimu (correctly or incorrectly) regards memeposting as mostly frivolous and not worth saving long-term.

    Which word in particular are you inconvenienced by not being able to use?

    Any and all. When I limit my language it is because I have chosen the words to restrict, not because somebody else has.

    I don't know what your goose image is supposed to suggest, but as an adult I don't need somebody telling me "fuck" is a naughty word.

    "Fuck" isn't censored.

    Which word is limiting your language?

    Look, I don't know what this is, but I have no interest in whatever weird hostile form of communication you think you're having.

    I'm not an expert in this, but the list I read included any communities with "fuck" in the name. But regardless, as stated, nobody else has the right or authority to deem what is acceptable language, that's a social convention we all get to weigh in on together.

    But I have no interest in your weird goose-based hostility, so I'm just going to block you now, goodbye.

    So wait, is this another hub for Lemmy's servers? How is this different then just accessing Lemmy through a third party app? Is this a totally different platform despite accessing the same servers? I'm a bit confused.

    Not really - while it is part of the Fediverse, it is not Lemmy. In that sense it's closer to mastodon or pixelfed than a different client, with the key difference being that since the structure/interface are so similar, they're much more easily integrated with each other, so most likely have already interacted with a lost or comment from a Piefed user on a Lemmy community without even noticing :) Different Lemmy clients still connect you to the same servers and accounts, while Piefed's are completely separate - although several Lemmy servers are running their own instance of Piefed too, on a different domain. So, you "access the same servers" in the sense of posts, comments, votes, and potentially server hardware, but not for your account and server software
