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

    Oh wait no, that’s the devs of Lemmy when asked the same request. (edit: ‘asking’ to ‘asked’)

    Hopefully Rimu will be more accommodating when you ask him? (codeberg issue creation prefered)

    It might be time to move this away from a hard-coded list now, if the expectations that someone installing an instance is going to read through the code is lower now than previously.

      What a shit show of a discussion on that issue… Not only is hard coding bad design in general[1], but doing so for constantly evolving and highly context dependent word list is even worse. Reading the discussion I see their decision as extremely short sighted and arrogant if not just stupid.



      1. Having hard coded configurations has it’s uses, but it’s a strong red flag that might complicate maintenance down the road, and should be used with caution. ↩︎
