PieFed blocks [email protected] (and a few other communities) by default. At the time of writing this post, you can search for the comm on many PieFed instances and you will not find it.
- https://feddit.online/communities?search=enoughmuskspam
- https://piefed.ca/communities?search=enoughmuskspam
- https://piefed.europe.pub/communities?search=enoughmuskspam
The block is only by default. The admin can choose to override it. Many big instances have done so, including
- piefed.social
- piefed.world
- piefed.zip


No way is right, it’s not hardcoded (there’s just a filter on the word ‘musk’ as a sane default that admins can choose to remove).
It is hardcoded. The string ‘enoughmuskspam’ is right here https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/b7a9ea0eea3a80f710e0b5b63cf0bbecde60f8bf/app/admin/routes.py#L373
I have noted in other threads and will note again here because people keep attacking me about this: hardcoding does not mean the behavior is not circumventable. It just means the string is in the source file (rather than a config file or database).
This particular post has identified a bug specifically. Nothing in the code you keep references the community search tools to begin with.
So it is hard coded
Wait so its not against specifically anti musk its on musk in general.
It is specifically the string ‘enoughmuskspam’ in the code https://mander.xyz/post/46665744/24986265
Yeah the title of this post is confusing.
It reads as if piefed blocks anti-Musk content, not blocks Musk content.
The string ‘enoughmuskspam’ is in the code https://mander.xyz/post/46665744/24986265
Thanks for the context!
