PieFed Users Surge!
-
Let’s see if piefed is as open as it claims to be. The creator and maintainer actually injects their own opinion into the source code. There are so many deny lists and a social score built into the system.
Piefed is great at putting in new features and making everything pretty. But it’s so opinionated, you’re better off on Reddit, imo.
Personally I'm fine with a comment getting removed if all they replied with is "this." Sure that's opinionated, but it's a good opinion.

eyyy, i'm one of those. long time mastodon user, but was always intimidated by lemmy, piefed seems a lot more friendly.
friendly like community or software experience?

It can be turned off anyway, most of the others do turn it off.

Wtf is piefed
lemmy with extra censorship tools

thats fair enough. I get the importance. Like this was to me easy enough to read but I know under different circumstances it can create a kind of mental gymnastics where its like, man, this should not take this much to figure out. Its not exactly the same scenario but I had a park near me put up a vertical map on the mouth of an east/west trail on the south side. The map follows the standard thing where up is north. I hit them up requesting the move the map structure to the other side of the trail because its exhausting turning everything around in your head where if it faced north everything would line up more naturally mentally.

But...there's no pie!!!

Every time I hear “censorship” cried in relation to piefed, I think of the same cries with Voat, another Reddit clone/refuge. It never compromised on that.
And it turned into a (now long dead) toxic wasteland. As that ethos smothered all the interesting niche communities.
IMO, the #1 Fediverse dev priority should be UX that discourages toxicity. That’s what will keep it alive. A militantly, forcibly “unbiased” UX is a quaint old internet ideal, yet it always seems to snowball into an unsustainable toxic monoculture.
So, if piefed uses “opinionated” defaults to stave that off, good.

Maybe this is showing my age and the association will not materialize in the minds of younger people, but boardnet makes me think of a bunch of old-school phpBB message board forums.

Almost all of these are able to be turned off.
By "social credit" you just mean a toned down version of Reddits karma (that doesn't track positive score)?
No, like posting a gif leads you to have -1 social score, hidden, because you posted a gif. There’s so many opinions in the code.

His source is ml, you can easily take his comment as malicious
-
I don't see why it has to end in verse. Like, boardnet sounds good (in my opinion), board network, because Lemmy/piefed is a network of boards.
Boardnet, doesn't sound too bad indeed. Maybe you should post it somewhere as a suggested alternative to Threadiverse

The forums I visited in those days was threaded, with trees to view commons. It was a proto version of the way Lemmy/Piefed/Reddit comments work, you just could only see one comment at a time. I never liked the flat style of PHPBB and the like.

Really? I don't have any memories of forums like that, only the old school flat threads with one comment at a time in chronological order.

You have point but on the other side, its goal is to avoid karma farming and help mods, admins for creating a serene place for discussion.
There is two distinct score : reputation, attitude.
- Reputation is people's reaction to your comment and post.
- attitude is how you vote. If you do mass downvote, your ability to downvote is removed until you reach a balance between upvote/downvote.
When we post a gif, and everyone laugh, it's easy to get a good reputation whereas elsewhere, i might post several terrible comments. That's why posting gif doesn't credit you reputation. You can't use gif to bypass bad comment and get a good reputation.
That's why it works like that.

It's a good example of the Paradox of Tolerance:
"if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance"

I sure hope these are users and not bots...

It's from a few promotional posts on Reddit, so it's users.
