post misinformation or spam or snake oil on a public forum and then prevent that public from seeing anything in the comments that might contradict you

That’s what instance admins and comm mods are for

Anything less than full blocking leaves a much bigger room for harassment.

Hexbear and lemmygrad will always be blocked and PieFed is coded to block them by default on all new instances (admins can change it). No plans to defederate lemmy.ml as I’ve built mod tools that help me find the most odious users & banned them and now it’s tolerable. lemy.lol is blocked because of it’s fascist logo. That’s about it.

(admins can change it).

If you can’t toggle it, then your setup is busted in some way

the one-way federation isn’t a block, it’s encouragement for users of piefed to go and harass hexbear out of revenge

This is exactly how defederation works on Lemmy itself, until the other instance also defederates to complete the circuit

this is nothing more than @rimu@piefed.social weaponizing the platform,

You mean like Lemmy devs weaponize Lemmy? Don’t you find it the slightest bit odd that all the features that could be used against them - blocking, robust voting systems, robust modlog, good mod tools - are conveniently implemented poorly, not implemented at all or outright “downgraded”?

but it should be our choice, not the choice of an admin from another instance.

How does an admin of another instance make that choice for you? If instance A starts going crazy on the blocklist, then Instance B can choose to no longer subscribe to As blocklist

While there are certainly some cons, block should mean block. If user A blocks user B, they should not be able to see each other, period

That’s also how Lemmy defederation and user blocking works FYI so it’s not unique to PieFed

That’s also exactly how dessalines built Lemmy’s “block” system for both users and instance blocks

Hi antiyank! Back with another fresh troll account I see lol

Nothin but a lil troll

LMAO you guys are gonna get ripped off

Not for DDR3 lol

For 32GB (4x8gb) DDR3, even good, fast (for 3 anyways) and matched sticks you should not be paying more than like 40 bucks. 60 is a rip off

If a user wants to see that, they are free to make an account on the triad themselves, admins should not have to platform their toxicity and misinformation.

And it’s also toxic to user uptake in general, a Threadiverse veteran will know what to block, a brand new user on the cusp of breaking from Big Tech social media won’t. They’ll see that crap and bail, then go on to talk about how they “tried that threadiverse stuff and found a whole bunch of pro-Russia/DPRK simps”

Or also as Lemmy allows, users defederating from instances they’d rather avoid.

Lemmy does not do this, the devs implemented an incredibly broken block system that is nothing more than mute. Suspected to be done this way intentionally.

On an instance level, it does not block an instances’ users at all

On a per-user level, blocked users can still fully interact with your comments and posts, you just can’t see it. What’s more damning is that ActivityPubs spec’d block does do a proper block, but dessalines chose to roll their own broken system.

In both cases, it’s akin to this “one-way” federation they bring up.

The only true way to block an instance, is for an instance admin to fully defederate.

From my understanding, it’s just a switch that defaults to “On” an instance admin can toggle off during setup or later

I have a strong urge to not deal catnip anywhere near his city

LMAO I came back solely to see the end result

Uhh work excel which is fully updated still prompts me about “auto recovered” files (and not OneDrive)

Unless it’s MS word specific you mean (I don’t use word a whole lot these days lol)

Don’t forget the reels of tape lmao

They dropped the whole USB protocol to USB 2.0, which consequently dropped the video out
