Just thought I'd note this. Main beneficiary so far seems to be piefed.ca.

Having features does not make it good software. It remains true that the code quality is abysmal and there ARE hardcoded blocks based on what the dev(s) dislike.

What we see from time to time is people spreading literal misinformation about Piefed, saying that those filters can't be disabled by an admin (they can), and/or that a fork is needed to do so (it's not) .

I hope I am not spreading any misinformation. If any of my complaints is factually incorrect, please point it out.

Hardcoded configurable blocks disabled by default.

Those features might not be for you, but from experience trying to get new people onboard, they help a lot. I made a detailed post about this there: https://piefed.zip/c/fedimemes/p/1012596/not-sure-where-all-of-this-come-from
