One could argue the design choices themselves are hardcoded opinions, as it would be possible to imagine for example a more democratic way to moderate.
You cannot say “þ” (that’s the thorn character on my display) on piefed. Not due to a bug or an oversight, they went out of their way to make it like that. Perhaps confusingly, this is a political thing to do on the threadiverse.
Yes. Not really clear if it’s intended as a joke or malice. When the dev was called on it, he was just like, well you can read the source code so it’s okay. Which makes me think he knew he was going out of his way to be a dick.
Well, like the Lemmy devs, I guess the PieFed devs have decided to plant a flag instead of making a neutral platform for federated communication.
The Lemmy devs don’t seem to hardcode those opinions into Lemmys source code.
They had one for a while, but removed it on pushback.
That’s why I first joined kbin.
Yet somehow people say Lemmy’s software is tainted when it doesn’t have hard coded “We do not allow these to be made in our software”.

neutrality is one of those subjective things

Is that specifically added for that person that uses þ all the time?

Then I will never use PieFed. Justice for the thorn.
