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.

Any webserver you browse is possibly capable of ACE depending on the implementation. When it starts to hold user data is when that starts to be a big concern. The more points of entry, the more that needs to be secured.

I don't have any experience with piefed admin, or any opinion on piefed itself, just too many years of web admin experience. And as soon as I see intentionally made doors that allow code input, I start to worry about how much experience the devs who made it have with web admin.

Booo. Here I was hoping for something serious to spice up the news and it just turns out it's "it runs on a browser".

Sorry, pal. It's a good software.

I'm not a spice merchant, and most exploits rarely involve a single step. This screenshot is just a system design red flag.

You're free to examine the repo yourself and find your own spice, my 5 min look tells me that piefed needs to expend a significant amount of effort on infosec to maintain user trust in the longer term.
