Fun fact: Piefed developers have baked into the code that their users cannot see any comments, replies or posts from hexbear (probably lemmygrad too) thus undermining the entire point of federation and forcing us to see their slop while being unable to reply or refute their wild claims.
Wait does it really?
Yes. It’s in their database init code:

It’s bullshit cowardice.
This seems like it’s intended as a criticism of Piefed but boy does it not land that way.
Local admin can literally do whatever the fuck they want. It’s up to them what code the instance runs, and it doesn’t have to be pure or official lemmy.
