It is hardcoded. The string ‘enoughmuskspam’ is right here https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/b7a9ea0eea3a80f710e0b5b63cf0bbecde60f8bf/app/admin/routes.py#L373
I have noted in other threads and will note again here because people keep attacking me about this: hardcoding does not mean the behavior is not circumventable. It just means the string is in the source file (rather than a config file or database).
The version from 10 years ago, yeah. It’s here https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit.
There’s a modern and production-ready open source alternative. It’s called Lemmy. You can find the source here https://github.com/lemmynet/lemmy
If the code is bad, you realise only coders would notice it from reading that?
That’s what makes it particularly sad. The people who didn’t read the code have no idea what they’re in for.
What hardcoded bans are you referring to here? The 4chan one that can be disabled?
How about this one? ‘enoughmuskspam’, ‘political_weirdos’, ‘piracy’, ‘memes’ are hardcoded banned. 196 used to be banned to but they removed it from the “bad list”.
Also “can be disabled” does not excuse hardcoded filtering. If they’re serious they could implement a config system in an hour.
I wonder, would these users still use PieFed if they have seen its codebase? Maybe it can be one day but right now it’s 100% not production-grade software. Nonsensical hardcoded bans and blocks everywhere. >1000 lines of Python in a single file. Uses regex to parse HTML. The list goes on…
I didn’t downvote your comment. But let me argue anyway.
Lots of people flock to PieFed because it is not made by the Lenmy devs who are unpalatably heavy handed in their “moderation” on the ml instance. One would hope this means PieFed offers more freedom to use the software how you like. So it’s funny that it’s even stricter “moderation” AND NOW ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.
lol hardcoded shit everywhere. that codebase is so bad it’s entertaining. you should make a standalone post about this here and crosspost to !programming_horror@programming.dev
cm0002 just repost content without attribution. very annoying. my lemmy experience is 1.5x better since I blocked them
Top tier post. Can’t wait for the experts at awful.systems to come explain. The question by OP is a very good question so I am sure we will get expert explanations from users of the awful.systems instance.
