Edit about the 4chan image blocking, I asked Rimu directly:

I wrote a long message about how that checkbox only notifies about federated posts.

So the difference is for local posts it blocks the creation of the post entirely, but for federated posts it just notifies the admin.

A few people in the other thread assumed that it was required to fork the code to disable those filters. That's not the case, the filters can be configured, and are off by default.

To hide the reputation system, here's a line of CSS that admins can add in the admin area to hide it for every user

That CSS line can also be used by any user wanting to hide the score at the user level.

So what is the lowering reputation part. Are the mods grading your posts and then reducing their visibility?

No, it's just being downvoted negatively contributes to your reputation. Basically heavily downvoted accounts.

But I noticed some remove the word cunt too, which is a dealbreaker for me.

I don't know what you mean here. Who is "some" here?

Some of piefed instances put removed in italics where the word cunt was. Obviously that would only be a deal breaker for the ones that do it.

I only remember Lemmy forcing its hard coded “slur filter” on all instances. It took a lot of backlash to get them to make it optional.

That was a temporary measure very early in development, when moderation tooling was still very incomplete. This was to avoid ending up like Voat. Once mod tools were implemented, the slur filter became optional. Simple as that.
