Just thought I’d note this. Main beneficiary so far seems to be piefed.ca.

    Me shocked to learn that PieFed (the software I am currently using) will delete My comment if it starts with a gif (like this one does)

      The code doesn’t actually parse the markdown in the post at all, so it only censors your comment if it’s a link to common gif hosters, and posted in a way that doesn’t actually render the gif.

      It’s laughable because it’s both attempting to be draconian and implemented poorly
