Another Power The Admins Have Reserved
-
I remember something about this, like Piefed being able to prevent users from logging from some countries without having to block the site as a whole
Yes there is potentially the option to block country codes in Piefed. We haven't fully utilised that yet but its on the todo list
-
Some anti-birgading measure I guess.
I wonder why they would bother?
Unless OP is merely referring to the feature that hides certain specified remote communities from their users, a measure that is similar to defederation but does not block the entire instance, only one community at a time. I've seen instances do that for e.g. Chapotraphouse, seemingly in order to salvage the rest of the communities on that instance by merely blocking the most controversial one(s).
But to actually show the content while not allowing users to interact with it... seems so strange.

You can still federate after the instance setup, like piefed.zip does
Yeah I saw the dozen other times you spammed this.

I posted it 3 times, not sure why you are saying "dozen"

Thanks for confirming!

Local admin can literally do whatever the fuck they want. It's up to them what code the instance runs, and it doesn't have to be pure or official lemmy.

That's a relief. I'm guessing the admins have to remove the instance from the block list first?
-
Doesn't Hexber use an allowlist for federation? Why keep these Piefed instances in your allowlist if you know this is the case?
What hexbear does is good, and what someone who disagrees with them is evil and bad. That's why they call it out.

Yes, probably. What I guess is that the code above just sets up the block list at setup, but then of course the admins can revise it as they see fit.

Because bad faith is the default for this person

Seems like it, they even made another post about this on !fediverse@lemmy.ml

I don't like fediverse architecture, I'd rather have moderation to be subscription-based (like you sub to a hide/banlist), to separate the concerns. Ofc platform admins should still have rights to ban those who try to destroy the communication itself, like posting 10k messages a thread etc.
I don't care much about it in lemmy cause idgaf about my account here, I could create a new one and no value is lost. However, if account itself and people subscribing to you is valuable, this tech sucks.
That's what bluesky does for their decentralized network.
