This reminds me of the KGB allegedly being terrified that they were somehow involved with Kennedy’s assassination

has enabled us to support massive global traffic with a single primary Azure PostgreSQL flexible server instance⁠(opens in a new window) and nearly 50 read replicas spread over multiple regions globally. This is the

I do wonder why they are using Azure PostgreSQL flexible instead of the Azure CosmosDB Postgres offering based on Citus

Is this going to be one of those extortion lawsuits like with that previous merger?

And Microsoft would be in control of the web

Reddit I think

The API shenanigans

Yes they’re keywords, but they also happen to be the exact names of threadiverse 8 communities, so that’s pretty specific to me.

Is that specifically added for that person that uses þ all the time?

I’ve made a PR

Wasn’t that only blocking slurs and not specific communities?

You go to https://INSTANCE_DOMAIN/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@COMMUNITY_DOMAIN and press Join

Let’s not make those assumptions based on an old filter list

I don’t think that’s the reason. The code mentions it filtering out “low-effort” communities so the devs probably didn’t like seeing so many posts from it on their frontpage.

# sort out the 'seven things you can't say on tv' names (cursewords), plus some
# "low effort" communities

I’ve opened my first PieFed PR

It’s helpful if you want to watch foreign news I guess

• !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !196@lemmy.world
• !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (not affected by check because of the letters)

That doesn’t make any sense because it doesn’t block the new 196 community because it uses letters

I think a regex to filter out common slurs isn’t really the same

The regex:

(fag(g|got|tard)?\b|cock\s?sucker(s|ing)?|ni((g{2,}|q)+|[gq]{2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?|mudslime?s?|kikes?|\bspi(c|k)s?\b|\bchinks?|gooks?|bitch(es|ing|y)?|whor(es?|ing)|\btr(a|@)nn?(y|ies?)|\b(b|re|r)tard(ed)?s?)

Link to code

It has been removed from 2/3 places in the codebase. I’m guessing they missed the other list so I’ve opened an issue and PR on Codeberg.

Actually, they only removed it from 2 places. It’s still there https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/cli.py#L1026
