It’s a pretty blunt instrument and using it risks bringing in a lot of weird stuff you didn’t expect so there is a keyword filter to screen out some of the more jarring communities. The keywords are: ‘shit’, ‘piss’, ‘fuck’, ‘cunt’, ‘cocksucker’, ‘motherfucker’, ‘tits’, ‘greentext’, ‘4chan’, ‘fauxbait’. Any community with those words in it cannot be accidentally added while pulling in dozens or hundreds of others. View source code. You can still manually add any community, including ones with those words in them (like “shitposts@piefed.world” or “4chan@sh.itjust.works”. Do this by going to the main Communities page and clicking on ‘Add remote community’. While no communities I'd be interested in are affected by the filtered word list, requiring instance owners to know about and manually import each community affected by it still amounts to a built-in, non-optional block on most impacted communities (given that most communities realistically won't be manually imported); ideally the word list should be configurable as the other settings are.

I don't know what this is but it's funnier than funhole !neinhole@horp.sciops.net

Yeah, that's definitely a downside. I'm still happy it worked though!

yeah and im sorry I specifically meant in the body. not the size of the link. again though im also talking user setting. people are so worried about content but im worried about content I don't care for keeping me from seeing stuff I do. We actually are fine. I would prefer people who posts in the 10's or 100's per day to do single digits of things they really care about and want to discuss.

I wish "votes" were multi-dimensional. "Yes/No", "Good/Bad", etc. is just too simple for the amount of nuance that exists. For example I could agree with somebody's statement, but disagree with their tone.

damn that would suck, that's mostly how I use the site nowadays

Awesome!
