    Wait… WHAT!? That’s SO much worse than shadow-banning, primarily because it is exactly shadow-banning, except it’s not, except it is. Lemmy really needs to move faster to fix these FOUNDATIONAL cracks involving (checks notes) “making posts to communities”. Is the issue at least fixed on the PieFed side?

    Yes, I think so. I bought the attention to Rimu. Piefed - Piefed bans should function properly. Maybe I’ll make an alt to test this.

    Dessalines did reply to me saying they plan to fix that in the eventual update.

      Maybe in 10 years they will. Dessalines is far too busy wasting time constantly banning people for disagreeing with him or criticizing his favourite regimes instead of developing his platform. There’s a reason Piefed is overtaking Lemmy in development speed and quality.

      That’s fantastic. It is likewise not ideal that a user blocking all people from an instance leaves open the possibility for those users to still comment… although Rimu explained to me over a year ago that would be the case, given that PieFed is interacting with Lemmy and Lemmy simply does not support the ability to block people who are not “blocked” in the traditional sense.

      But now to find that Lemmy doesn’t even implement community blocks correctly, wow, just wow.

      I’ve seen issue requests laying in wait for Lemmy for 5+ years, so excuse me if I have no faith in hearing that something will be fixed “eventually”. Ironically I have such great respect for those devs for making their sourcecode available free of charge, but also I’ve learned not to trust what they say as it often does not match up with reality (unless in a highly specific sense as in the *next" code release).

      It actually makes a lot of sense: they write the software to function for Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, and if anyone else wants to use it, that’s fine but it’s not their top priority at all. Which apart from their apologists across Lemmy, the devs themselves are fairly open about:

      If you dont like it, fork it. Stop bothering us about it,
