  • I've been seriously considering adding this to PieFed's onboarding process. Admins could provide a default block list and people could untick them individually just after registering (or in their settings, any time).

  • Thank you 😊

  • Maybe a better Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph?

  • Cool diagram.

    If you removed hexbear and lemmygrad (nearly everyone defederates them so they just clutter the place up) then the other information would be clearer. For example I didn't notice that beehaw has defederated both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works until my third viewing.

  • A clone, you say.

    It sounds like you want me to do a post where I do a side-by-side comparison between Lemmy and PieFed. Maybe run through the admin area and see what options PieFed has and then see if Lemmy has anything similar.... I'm sure that will be a fun time.

    Give me a couple of days.

  • I made that chart while reading a book (reference in the corner of the image) and I'm sure the author of it was familiar with Eco's work. He may have even mentioned the term "Ur-fascism" because it sounds familiar to me.

  • I'd rather not go into it because it's quite easy to bypass if you know how it works. It's pretty dumb!

    For twitter screenshots I think you'd need some kind of machine learning model because those are less distinctive than greentext.

  • PieFed 1.7.9 includes Anubis-like scraper blocking

    Jump

  • I saw that someone on Mastodon tried that. It doesn't stop them they just scrape more and more until your server melts.

  • a public retraction

    Lemmy users wouldn't have seen it anyway because they don't have that feature :-/

  • Lemmy or Piefed?

    Jump

  • Fair enough.

    How websites are labelled is up to the instance admin. It used to be that all labels were warnings but in the latest version of PieFed it became possible to use neutral or positive icons as well:

    It still says 'warning type' and 'warning on posts' in the UI which is an oversight I've just noticed!

    This change was a result of criticism I read. Often when people write that stuff they think they have discovered some nefarious thing that exists that way because I want it to. The fact is it was all thrown together very quickly so it's not always well thought-out but when people don't like things I listen and make changes. Nothing is set in stone.

  • PieFed has some sensible defaults but all blocks can be changed by the server admin. They're not hard-coded.

  • Lemmy or Piefed?

    Jump

  • PieFed has no hardcoded instance or user blocks. You were lied to by bad people.

  • Lemmy or Piefed?

    Jump

  • Of the 12,730 accounts that were active in the last week, there are 60 with the so-called "low quality" indicator, or 0.4%.

    And this is in an environment where people cast 32 times more upvotes than downvotes so to earn that badge you need to be super super completely absolutely unpopular. Consistently.

    You're part of a pretty special group.

    Maybe try being less of an asshole? See how that goes for you.

  • Maybe a better Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph?

    Jump

  • There are 500 Lemmy instances and 80 PieFed instances which are too small to show on the graph :)

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

    Jump

  • That's a good idea but currently we don't have that level of granularity.

    When I made it I assumed that most communities would be 'forever' and the auto-deletion would only be used on communities that the admin really didn't consider worth having in the first place. I don't know if that's how it has turned out in practice, 2 years later.

  • 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.
