rimu has pretty strong opinions on social media. This filter is optional and can be turned on/off by an admin. Some of my contributions to piefed have been to make filters or features that are strongly opinionated like this optional. For piefed.social specifically though, rimu has all of them on because that is his instance and he runs it the way he wants.

I mean okay sure, you can disable these things. But the fact that they are enabled out of the box in the software as written is a huge red flag.

Yeah, it speaks to the developer having a philosophy that is really at odds with the concept of open communication. I'm no free speech absolutist, but some of these restrictions are just ridiculous.

the filter this post is about and most of the others mentioned in this thread are off by default.

I'm sure you will be pleased to know that the filter this post is about and most of the others mentioned in this thread are, in fact, off by default.
