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

As stated, most of the things here can be turned off

Is it possible to disable how user blocking works?

and one part specifically is a complete misrepresentation

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

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The way that the defederation claim was originally made was that Piefed automatically blocks lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad and automatically repopulates those instances as blocked if an instance owner wipes their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.

[-] Shatur@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

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.

Their way of doing it honestly makes more sense imo.

We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.
