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

            Because it’s a piefed feature set.

            Based on rimus responses here and elsewhere they do not seem interested in feedback.

            Even in their comment linking to a thread saying they welcome it, they were attacking someone providing it

                Here = comm

                And https://lemmy.world/comment/21861362 which leads to

                https://piefed.social/comment/9670365

                Where both calls anyone but them looking at the code amateurs and can’t understand people wouldn’t provide feedback if thought bad things in code were purposely done as so many projects will do that

                There’s no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we’re right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water’s fine!

                  This comment was a month ago, and he was aware of people heavily slamming his project and showing no interest at all in actually sharing it to him.

                  He isn’t specifically “calling out” anyone directly. All he says here is that the stuff people are complaining about here have been on piefed and not hidden since day zero.

                    Notice the quote from them specifically saying everyone but us are amateurs.

                    He isn’t specifically “calling out” anyone directly. All he says here is that the stuff people are complaining about here have been on piefed and not hidden since day zero.

                    Again he’s linking to the thread calling out others for looking at the code.

                    And again most are pointing out how terrible the code is and how odd it is for some of the features to exist.

      That was an interesting read.

      Seems like piefed should fix a lot of that. For some of it, at least make it configurable and not hard coded. But that blocked user stuff seems like a real problem.

        Most of it is configurable and off by default. But the haters don’t mention that.

          Yeah I’m reading that in other replies. Still you would put this in configs, for which you could have templates that come with certain defaults populated, rather than hard coding like this.

            I’m doing this because I love doing it. Often that means the boring bits like documentation or config or general finesse get left out. I’m trying to paint with broad strokes in the hope that when others see what I’m trying to do they’ll join in and fill in the details.

              Yeah no worries. I’m happy with any effort that brings more people to the fediverse. My comments were honest and constructive criticism. Wasn’t meant to offend. Keep up the good work.
