+1 for mailbox.org, been using them for nearly a year and am quite happy with their service. Do note that their web UI is mediocre so you’ll probably want to use a mail client.

And definitely use a custom domain, they’re super cheap and allow for so much more flexibility (such as dedicated emails for different services).

I guess it makes it easier to find/verify the owner if they lose it? (Though there are better ways to do that). Still feels weird.

Didn’t see this earlier but another thread gave a good summary: https://piefed.social/comment/9505729

Cool, but this article looks like AI slop.

Looks like I’ve been spreading misinformation, whoops. Edited my comment to clarify.

This filter is not part of any specific instance, it’s hardcoded into PieFed’s code. That means it applies to every PieFed instance unless the instance admin explicitly patches the code to remove it.

Got any other specific examples?

Each instance should be free to set their own rules. Individual instances blocking those communities is fine, but the PieFed devs hardcoding a blocklist that applies to all instances (especially one as opinionated and arbitrary as this) is absolutely not.

List of blocked words in community names:

shit
piss
fuck
cunt
cocksucker
motherfucker
tits
memes
piracy
196
greentext
usauthoritarianism
enoughmuskspam
political_weirdos
4chan

Seems like one of the PieFed devs has some opinions about the kind of content they dislike, and are unilaterally forcing that on every PieFed instance. I can somewhat understand filtering out curse words, but specific communities should not blocked by default, and definitely not hidden in a hardcoded list in the source code.

Edit: Important context here: https://lemmy.world/comment/21323475 Seems this blocklist is more limited in scope; it’s not blocking federation entirely, just blocking (from what I can tell) their appearance in search and automatically federating with them when adding an instance. Still problematic to exclude specific communities in a non-configurable way with little justification IMO.

I’m confused; what’s the difficulty shown here?
