I’m aware. But if people are going to criticize the Lemmy devs for their ideology which they don’t inject into the architecture of their software it seems fair to point out the ideology of the Piefed devs that they do inject into theirs, even if said ideology is less egregious. I don’t agree with the Lemmy devs on a lot of things, but I respect their ability to develop without such injections.
Still an overreach, imo. Who are they to deem which communities are worthy, especially based on the “appropriateness” of the community name? It’s entirely unnecessary, and Piefed would be better off without it.
Having looked at the words and code specifically in reference here, I think it’s a copy and paste job from another local function (the local piefed.social retention rules)
If it’s some kind of carryover oversight, that does definitely change the perspective. That said, as it exists today my criticism of nannying remains valid, so now that it’s known if it is simple oversight then the devs should absolutely now remove it to the fix the issue.
Basically piefed.social scrubs all posts and comments from those exact communities (that fall under those keywords specifically) after 6 months to save on space. Rimu (correctly or incorrectly) regards memeposting as mostly frivolous and not worth saving long-term.
It can be and is disabled by other instances.

Also, the context here is automatic federation of communities - right? It’s not a keyword filter in the sense that you’re referring to.
