What questionable choices are baked into Piefed?
Comment on Where is the piefed.social instance based in?

pinging piefed.social makes gateway.rimu.geek.nz respond. going there you’ll learn that rimu is new zealander
piefed.social moderation is based on a number of questionable choices, and rimu previously hardcoded these questionable choices in piefed without explanation or an option to turn them off

there are many default blocks.

Like what? What is piefed blocking that I can’t currently access?
The main reason I landed on piefed.zip was because it was the only instance I could find that didn’t defederate any content; piracy, .ml instances, hexbear, etc. Not that I necessarily want that content, but I don’t like the idea of an instance admin making that decision for me. I checked all the pylova instances and they seem to all defederate the above to varying degrees. Is the only way to ensure I see the whole Fediverse to spin up my own instance? (Something I’m very sure I do not have the know-how to do.)

these blocks were iirc removed good couple months back, after backlash, in two separate incidents, so now they’re opt-in only (by admin) and my understanding is that nobody else uses it. .social is rimu’s playground so these might be still on

Yes, and it has been forked because of this:
