Thanks for adding information on the social credit score, though I still don’t like it.
Sorry, nope. This just flatout does not follow at all. I see no reason why it would have had any relevance to this particular function whatsoever.
Humans do not simply lose all bias when developing things, creative outputs are a reflection of our views and ways of thinking, intentionally or not.
Yes, it can cause that. Of course it also goes both ways - without blocking working like that, a blocked user could just follow the person who has blocked them around on-site and continually pester them without them knowing. There is no good way to implement blocking that doesn’t have some level of disagreement from people.
It’s better for blocked users to be able to clear their name and mods/admins take action if necessary than it is to entirely shut out interraction, if the end result from the user is the same. There’s no pestering if they can’t see it.

Bias for what? Again - many block systems work like the way Piefed has designed it. Your claim that it is somehow connected to his overarching dislike of communism here is completely and utterly baseless. Why should I just accept that? Because you claim it?

And that’s your position on it - but others disagree. The other user can’t see that (hypothetically) they’re being smeared and harassed across the Fediverse in this case. Whatever the disagreements here, it has nothing to do with trying to stop communists.
The argument you’re making is that the views, opinions, and ideas held by people have no impact on what they design or how if there isn’t a “smoking gun” linking them. This is absurd, though, as we couldn’t create without views, ideas, and opinions, and we cannot sipmply shut out all views we hold when creating. Rimu has already proven willingness to do so with default blocking Hexbear and Lemmygrad to begin with.
I’m aware others disagree with me, I’ve said PieFed exists for those that want it and Lemmy for those that want it. Others disagree with you, and that’s fine.

I’m saying that the way in which Piefed handles blocking functions has nothing to do with Rimus position on Hexbear/Lemmygrad. I can’t see the meaningful connection there at all.
Most admin tools on Piefed, by the way, are crafted on the basis of trying to mitigate AI spam, trolling, abuse etc. Do you accept that?
Rimu has made it clear that communist views are to be hidden and obscured, and implementing harsher censorship options that allows prominent users like Open Stars to publicly and repeatedly bash me with no way for me to clear my name directly can be seen as an example of the end result of this. It makes less sense to thoroughly divorce the two and say there’s absolutely 0 overlap than it does to say that there may be slight overlap.
The “harsher censorship option” here is simply the blocking system which was not designed specifically to censor communists. Because a user with a specific grievance with it has blocked you doesn’t somehow make it designed for it anymore than if a lemmy.ml blocked PugJesus and kept complaining about them (knowing PugJesus could not respond as he is based on piefed).

I never said that it was specifically designed to censor communists. You keep reading absolutes out of my comments when I am talking about influence.
I see no reason to believe that Rimus anti-communist disposition has anything whatsoever to do with how he set up the block system.
I see no reason whatsoever to believe that Rimu’s anti-communist stances have absolutely nothing to do with features implemented into PieFed.
