Europe.pub is a lemmy instance. Piefed.europe.pub is a piefed instance.

To be clear, Ek is talking about posting image posts on Reddit who allow video uploads. I don’t think this is a problem there. Moreover, the infographics are more successful at getting attention than just plain-text comment-posts. It is what it is.

Okay, fair enough. I’d actually argue that the field doesn’t really make much sense to new users in the first place without context. “Good” is obviously loaded with bias preference in this context, but “Minimal” doesnt’ necessarily convey an negative opinion just based on the word itself. I could ask him to add more instances here (although the fascist instances that I know of here are so minor and obscure that they likely didn’t enter his mind - except hilariouschaos) and/or change the wording and add a description so its meaningful.

Also to detach the code so other join.piefed pages can rip it out or isolate their own instances they suggest disfavour towards.

This is problematic for a number of reasons, most of all is that this rating that it generates is NOT transparent to the user. This page is used on PieFeds main page when you go to register, it’s part of the instance picker. The defederation rating under More is where this shows up. For instance, this means that instances like anarchist.nexus have a “OK” rating but instances like multiverse.soulism.net have a “GOOD” rating.

The only measurements here seem to be stability.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad aren’t Lemmy.ml. I never claimed that hexbear and lemmygrad aren’t defederated by default.

The claim you’re linking to though also alleges that lemmy.ml is automatically defederated, and that if you wipe all defederations entirely it will repopulate them back.

Dude, I specifically spoke to wjs (one of the main contributors to this project) about this claim - and he examined the code. It doesn’t do what you claim it does. That quote is directly from him. Hexbear and Lemmygrad are automatically defederated but if you remove them and them remove all the defederations entirely, it won’t just repopulate them with those instances and automatically add lemmy.ml.

Lemmy.ml was never a default in the first place when it comes to defederation. Piefed.social doesn’t even defederate lemmy.ml.

PieFed defederates from Hexbear.net, Lemmygrad.ml, and Lemmy.ml out of the box.

Can you tell me why you keep claiming this when I’ve specifically said this is not the case here?

"And no, it does not defederate from lemmy.ml out of the box. You are completely misunderstanding that code. I have already addressed this here.

“Alright, it doesn’t do any defederation, this function just controls what the api reports. It will list which of those four instances the instance is defederated from but that doesn’t look like it is actually used anywhere to do something…let me grab you links here is where piefed digests this api endpoint to populate the instance_chooser table, and the defed_list field isn’t actually used at all”
