    Microsoft does not operate on a federated model.

    The Piefed devs have no way to change the configuration of other instances.

        If you believe that the Piefed devs would get away with overriding the configuration of other instances with an update, that’s not realistic.

        Most of the Piefed users (myself included) would leave immediately.

        What our experience is is the opposite: the Piefed dev team is always receptive to feedback, and improves the software based on this constantly.

          It took 2 days for a PR to go though on piefed. It was a great experience.

          Reading the code is VERY easy, even compared to other projects. I was able to get it up and running in about 30 mins with very little knowledge of the project. The “filters” are all optional on the admin side and instances can and have modified them to suit their needs.

          Congrats @rimu@piefed.social ! Your project has gained “controversy”, the main way you can tell its getting successful 😁.
