I mean, if I read the thread correctly they did end up making it optional...
No clicking the link to show it was about removing racial slurs! Only out of context snippets!
Eventually, but only reluctantly and after first telling the userbase to simply piss off and stop asking.
In contrast, the PieFed devs seem to have edited their codebase within mere minutes of this discussion having started to have already started changing things in highly positive directions, even prior to being officially asked on codeberg.
The contrast there is eye-opening, and I hope indicative of what the future holds for the Threadiverse. There are far too many LONG-STANDING issues remaining in Lemmy that only continue to get ignored as the years drag on... Lemmy is their codebase, you exist at their leisure, whereas PieFed is ours, able to be modified in ways that we collectively want it to. Obviously I mean on the spectrum, aka "PieFed has highly responsive devs", who not only receive but even outright ask for advice on things like prioritization (see e.g. last year's !piefed_2025@piefed.social, although nowadays they are doing that via codeberg issue tickets).
