How do you write with thorn? Is there something that replaces all instances of th or do you insert it manually?

Yes they’re keywords, but they also happen to be the exact names of threadiverse 8 communities, so that’s pretty specific to me.

Is that specifically added for that person that uses þ all the time?

I’ve made a PR

Wasn’t that only blocking slurs and not specific communities?

You go to https://INSTANCE_DOMAIN/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@COMMUNITY_DOMAIN and press Join

Let’s not make those assumptions based on an old filter list

I don’t think that’s the reason. The code mentions it filtering out “low-effort” communities so the devs probably didn’t like seeing so many posts from it on their frontpage.

# sort out the 'seven things you can't say on tv' names (cursewords), plus some
# "low effort" communities

I’ve opened my first PieFed PR

It’s helpful if you want to watch foreign news I guess

• !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !196@lemmy.world
• !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (not affected by check because of the letters)

That doesn’t make any sense because it doesn’t block the new 196 community because it uses letters

I think a regex to filter out common slurs isn’t really the same

The regex:

(fag(g|got|tard)?\b|cock\s?sucker(s|ing)?|ni((g{2,}|q)+|[gq]{2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?|mudslime?s?|kikes?|\bspi(c|k)s?\b|\bchinks?|gooks?|bitch(es|ing|y)?|whor(es?|ing)|\btr(a|@)nn?(y|ies?)|\b(b|re|r)tard(ed)?s?)

Link to code

It has been removed from 2/3 places in the codebase. I’m guessing they missed the other list so I’ve opened an issue and PR on Codeberg.

Actually, they only removed it from 2 places. It’s still there https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/cli.py#L1026

I think the communities were added manually

Now you mention it, I haven’t seen your community either.

EDIT: It was also filtered out, I had to add it manually

I definitely understand wanting to filter out obscenities, but I think the filtered communities should be a seperate configurable list.

It’s hardcoded in the PieFed source code, so every instance does this by default unless you patch it like I did.

The combined swearwords + excluded communities list seems to appear at least 3 times in the codebase (not referenced, copied verbatim).

Let’s just say that it wouldn’t pass my code review if I saw this at work

EDIT: It has been removed from 2/3 places in the codebase.

Yes, it starts with swear words, the names of some communities are also thrown in.
