  • PieFed 1.7.9 includes Anubis-like scraper blocking

  • I've added exceptions for them.

  • What does "Posts older than 365 days will be removed." mean exactly?

    Jump

  • Yes it can be set to anything from 1 week to 10 years.

    It's set by the admin but moderators should have a good enough relationship with them to be able to ask for it to be set to something that suits their needs.

  • The posts in that community will be deleted after that many days. For remote communities this only affects the local copy of each post and the post will still exist on the source instance and other instances (unless they too delete their copies). For local communities the deletion federates so the post is removed everywhere.

    PieFed is intended to run for decades and storage costs money so admins can set how long they want to retain content for, on a per-community basis. It's up to them to decide what is worth keeping forever and what should be trimmed.

    AFAIK piefed.social has 'forever' for the retention of all local communities and only trims remote communities. In some communities piefed.social only keeps posts for very short periods, like 28 days, because it's the kind of content people look at once and has no lasting value beyond that.

  • Lemmy or Piefed?

    Jump

  • Lemmy's lack of features is why Lemmys community is how it is and that suits the Lemmy devs and their political goals perfectly.

  • ideologically posed to keep the thing open, for the people, by the people

    What. Check out the modlog, they ban more people than anyone.

  • Lemmy or Piefed?

    Jump

  • It's up to the mods and admins what they do with PieFed's functions. Anything can be misused, even simple stuff. Like for example lemmy.ml has a description "a community for Foss and privacy enthusiasts" set by the admins and then ridicules and bans anyone who pushes back against the .ml political line on China. Lemmy.ml is not about foss and privacy.

    The software feature of having a instance description is innocuous but it's being used for deception.

  • Abelism or not it took seconds to change so I don't mind.

    Attitude has turned out to be a lot less useful than I hoped...

  • I removed the word 'stupid' from the code 3 months ago, the function is now called 'reply_is_low_effort'.

    The haters don't bother keeping their propaganda up to date.

  • whether it affects them immediately, or is just something they may be concerned about in the future.

    There is a 99% chance it won't effect them because 99% of people don't vote more than the quota. I was very careful about that.
