Oh please if Lemmy had that hard coded you would absoluutely not be defending it. Even if it was just .ml you’d still use it to smear all of Lemmy. I hate 4chan too, but this is still by definition a very heavy handed imposing of one’s personal opinion on others and limiting expression but somehow it doesn’t get the authoritarian label. Wonder why.
It can be taken out if, 1, you know it exists (is it documented?), 2, you know how to program (is it configurable through the normal instance setup or do you have to sift through the code and then maintain your own fork with it removed?). Sure seems like being able to take it out is a side effect of it being open source and was not intended to be configurable. If that’s your bar then any feature you don’t like in any fediverse platform “can be taken out.” You’re talking as if it was explicitly made to be taken out.

You don’t need your own fork, all of those filters are editable in the admin settings.
I’m on piefed.zip, I can comment “This” just fine:
Lol y’all complain about Lemmy being authoritarian but think this is fine?
Starting to think what you actually disagree with is the political opinions of the Lemmy devs, not the “authoritarian” tactics themselves.
This is just something piefed.social has, not all. Rimu dislikes 4chan culture heavily.

It can be taken out is what I mean. You are talking as if it can’t.

It is public knowledge. Not sure about the documentation level.
No, I think it can removed in the administration settings of an instance.
