PieFed blocks !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world (and a few other communities) by default. At the time of writing this post, you can search for the comm on many PieFed instances and you will not find it.

The block is only by default. The admin can choose to override it. Many big instances have done so, including

  • piefed.social
  • piefed.world
  • piefed.zip

See more information here.

    No way is right, it’s not hardcoded (there’s just a filter on the word ‘musk’ as a sane default that admins can choose to remove).

    It is hardcoded. The string 'enoughmuskspam' is right here https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/b7a9ea0eea3a80f710e0b5b63cf0bbecde60f8bf/app/admin/routes.py#L373

    I have noted in other threads and will note again here because people keep attacking me about this: hardcoding does not mean the behavior is not circumventable. It just means the string is in the source file (rather than a config file or database).
