Ohhhh THATS why the Triad was hating on PF so much lately LMFAO
Heh they never needed an explicit reason. They hate them that ain't them. If you criticize or slight the teen edgelords of the vanguard. You're getting off easy with just hate. They'd do much worse if they had the ability.
What did I miss?
The Triad has been hemming and hawing about the horrible horrible "anti-commie" (it's not, just anti-tankie/authoritarian) PieFed the past couple of weeks. Which is what I assume led to this new rule here https://feddit.uk/post/44095278 lol
that post was made after there were many posts either dunking piefed or lemmy, and us mods were drowning, so locked those posts, and then i asked other mods if we should add the rule to prevent thaat, and they agreed
You have to admit some of the backend logic, especially around voting, is really poor.
True true, but that's just an area of architecture improvement, not some evil master plan LMAO
AFAIK Piefed also basically hardcoded a block of their instances (this is what I read from one lemmy.ml user who took a look at the code, take that with a grain of salt). Well, I say hardcoded, but it's python - you can easily change any section of the code, especially one that's just a list of URLs. But it's still the default behavior.
It's default defederated, but any server can remove them. That's all.
It's a switch that's presented to the admins as they go through the instance setup process. It's defaulted to on, but it's not like it's even hidden in a setting menu somewhere
There is a lot of misinformation surrounding that though. For one thing, Lemmy.ml is not defederated by default. Hexbear is, but only if the admin chooses that, hence it is not a "hard-coded setting", as anyone who knows how an if() statement works would realize. The statements I saw had more lies (whether intentional or otherwise) than truth about them.
Which is why I personally blocked the entire Lemmy.ml instance - it's not worth my time sifting through all the huge piles upon piles of disinformation to find tiny little nuggets of truth: I am not that desperate for content.
I mean Lemmy also has support?

Though not as far along
Volunteers indeed have translated join-lemmy and the engine itself, but from what I've seen, Lemmy developers have never turned on Ukrainian in either codebase, unlike other languages with similar completion rate, which means any instance admin willing to use the translation has to fork, patch and rebuild to add the support. Technically, PieFed 1.6.x still hasn't the translation-enabling commit cherry-picked from main, either, but 1.7 should have it if minor versions begin as branches off main.
