Fedia and Piefed have baked in code to block their users from seeing our replies, posts, and comments, while allowing a form of one way federation. (hexbear.net)

I think this warrants a fediverse wide boycott of all piefed/fedia instances until this is rectified.

unless the person using their fork manually changes it.

Updating the defederation blocklist is done via the admin UI. A fork implies having to recreate the source code and modify it. This is different.

This is exactly how it works. I started a PieFed instance and made the decision (during setup) to trim the defederation list down to none. Users can block on the account level.
