FYI, next version of PieFed has an “Unban All” button for clearing all domain bans to try to make this easier.

Screenshot from my instance:

PieFed has a default list of domains/instances that are blocked when you do a fresh install for a brand new instance. A critical difference between PieFed and the Tesseract blocks is that any of the blocks in PieFed are completely visible to, and under the control of the admins of the instance. So, ultimately, it is just an out-of-the-box default, but the instance admins always have ultimate control over moderation/federation choices. This Tesseract stuff is taking those powers away from the admins.

there is a work-in-progress page for Piefed that a contributor is working on

Yeah…sorry for the delay on this one. I have been absolutely slammed with irl work and haven’t had time to do much of anything recently. This is also why my actual contributions to PieFed have dried up the past couple weeks. I swear I haven’t forgotten about this, and I think the new structure will make this contribution a lot easier as I don’t have to replicate a lot of what existed for lemmy already.

Yeah, there was recently a case where somebody was doxxed in the modlog. At that moment, there really wasn’t anything that you can do about it. So, being able to have some control over modlog visibility is a way to prevent abuses like that.

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.

Also fun fact, you can probably upload it to most other piefed instances just fine.

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.
