Hexbearians are pissed at Fedia and PieFed for the audacity of not wanting to deal with them LMAO
Excuse me while I go donate even more money to PieFed
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't like that, even as a person who chose my instance because it defederated from them.
From my understanding, it's just a switch that defaults to "On" an instance admin can toggle off during setup or later
Yes, that's right.
The screenshot characterizes it as a hardcoded thing, implying that it cannot be altered through the UI. This is not the case.
that is not true, according to our admins they have talked to both rimu and hexbear, with no luck. we don't have any control over it and rimu refuses to give us the choice.
This is incorrect as stated in a comment below
Instance admin, not user.
Yes.
according to our admins
I thought that part was pretty easy to understand, but let me make it clearer for you.
Admins cannot switch the block on or off. The block cannot be toggled by admins. Admins don’t have control over toggling the block. The option to toggle the block is unavailable to admins. Admins lack permission to toggle the block. Admins have no way to switch the block setting. The block toggle is outside admin capabilities. Admins are unable to enable or disable the block. The block toggle is not something admins can access. Admins do not have the right to change the block state. The system prevents admins from toggling the block. Admins have no authority to flip the block switch. Toggling the block is not possible for admins. Admins aren’t allowed to switch the block on or off. The block state cannot be modified by admins. Admins don’t possess the ability to toggle the block. Admins are restricted from toggling the block. The block toggle option is disabled for admins. Admins can’t turn the block on or off. Toggling the block is beyond admin privileges.
I hope this clears it up for you.
All of this is incorrect.

Hexbear and lemmygrad will always be blocked and PieFed is coded to block them by default on all new instances (admins can change it). No plans to defederate lemmy.ml as I've built mod tools that help me find the most odious users & banned them and now it's tolerable. lemy.lol is blocked because of it's fascist logo. That's about it.
(admins can change it).
If you can't toggle it, then your setup is busted in some way
After discussing it again with my admins, I have been informed I misunderstood them, and there is in fact a toggle. I was wrong.
Gonna maybe go back and note that in your previous initial response so you're not misleading people with your misinformation?
You lost the chance to slowly convert into zalgo text as this progressed
You are the one missing the point here. Pathetic of you to give such an asinine response.
