I’m not convinced that what I said about that checkbox was misinformation. I remember the checkbox situation, I remember thinking it was weird, and I read enough posts from various instances at the time from multiple people that lead me to believe that it wasn’t all that great and there was ambiguity about Rimu’s motives for including it. Furthermore, his response about it wasn’t convincing. So I’m not going to acquise and change my original post. Even in this thread there’s no actual agreement on the subject. I understand you are trying to help, but what I said wasn’t specifically a lie. Thanks for your comment.

There’s a screen shot of what Nutomic said in the post I linked.

Well if I’m wrong about how that list worked then I apologize but Rimu also supposedly took code from the fork and failed to attribute it until he was called out about that too. It wasn’t only the blocking thing that upset me, it was also the code misappropriation and the childish ban spree.

Well, the lemmy devs are transphobic and the piefed dev Rimu is a bit of a jerk with additional accusations of a censorship list after a huge blowup surrounding a front-end called tesseract. There’s other posts about it there during that same time frame.

It’s a big reason I switched to quokka.au as it uses a fork of piefed called PyLova which I find to be stable and good and the developer is way nicer.

Edit: to be more clear, Tesseract was developed by someone else and that person snuck a secret censorship list into their project. While Rimu’s filter was only slightly less problematic, it had a checkbox at least, it was very unclear what it actually did and caused a huge (well deserved) fuss.
