Does it grow?

Yes they're keywords, but they also happen to be the exact names of threadiverse 8 communities, so that's pretty specific to me.

I've made a PR

Wasn't that only blocking slurs and not specific communities?

You go to https://INSTANCE_DOMAIN/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@COMMUNITY_DOMAIN and press Join

I've opened my first PieFed PR

It's helpful if you want to watch foreign news I guess

Only if you have free / cheap electricity

It's lemmy.ml, I wouldn't count on it

• !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !196@lemmy.world
• !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (not affected by check because of the letters)

That doesn't make any sense because it doesn't block the new 196 community because it uses letters

I think a regex to filter out common slurs isn't really the same

The regex:

 regex

    
(fag(g|got|tard)?\b|cock\s?sucker(s|ing)?|ni((g{2,}|q)+|[gq]{2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?|mudslime?s?|kikes?|\bspi(c|k)s?\b|\bchinks?|gooks?|bitch(es|ing|y)?|whor(es?|ing)|\btr(a|@)nn?(y|ies?)|\b(b|re|r)tard(ed)?s?)


  

Link to code

It has been removed from 2/3 places in the codebase. I'm guessing they missed the other list so I've opened an issue and PR on Codeberg.

I think the communities were added manually

Now you mention it, I haven't seen your community either.

EDIT: It was also filtered out, I had to add it manually

I definitely understand wanting to filter out obscenities, but I think the filtered communities should be a seperate configurable list.

It's hardcoded in the PieFed source code, so every instance does this by default unless you patch it like I did.

The combined swearwords + excluded communities list seems to appear at least 3 times in the codebase (not referenced, copied verbatim).

Let's just say that it wouldn't pass my code review if I saw this at work

EDIT: It has been removed from 2/3 places in the codebase.

Yes, it starts with swear words, the names of some communities are also thrown in.

No, it's incoming. When you first set up an instance you have to kickstart the federation process by adding communities to federate. The linked code excludes those specified communities from that. Once federated, they won't be blocked AFAIK.

I'll try that, I'll let you know if it works
