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

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

  • 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.

  • Lemmy or Piefed?

    Jump

  • The vote quota can be set to whatever the instance admin desires. Just like any other terms of service, it's up to the admin what they give away for free and under what conditions.

    afaik only piefed.zip and multiverse.soulism.net have chosen to increase it, though.

  • Finally happish with my all-in-one homelab (20+ services and way too much tinkering)

  • Hey @organicpu@lemmy.organic-server.org did you use a LLM like Ollama to write your post?

    No shade if you did, I just want to make sure we're categorizing things correctly at our end.

  • Thanks for the update.

    So far the only OS / DE I've found that explicitly bans LLM contributions is Haiku OS.

    It blows my mind how slow large companies are.

  • I've been happily using lxqt for 6+ months. Their matrix channel is very alive and knowledgeable.

  • How do you feel about Video posts on the Threadiverse?

    Jump

  • How would people feel about a feature that lets them filter their feed by post type? You could choose not to see any videos or any images, etc.

  • Reddit keeps pushing on being a closed platform, now rolling out mandatory logging for old.reddit.com - worth pushing for the fediverse again?

    Jump

  • Oh, this is about the login wall?

    lol that was just a temporary measure to fend off the scrapers. They've been really bad the last couple of weeks, especially.

    I'm testing out a custom-built Anubis now, that should mean we can do without a login wall.

  • How has the voting quota impacted power users and content creation?

  • How has the voting quota impacted power users and content creation?

    Jump

  • It doesn't limit that 10% minority, it limits the 0.02% minority. And that 0.02% were not the ones making posts the most, they were voting the most.

    Please see the numbers at https://piefed.social/c/fediverse@piefed.social/p/2190040/who-decides-what-you-see-on-the-fediverse-a-look-at-voting-patterns

    In this graph we see CPU usage (green line) and network activity (orange line) for the last month. The change was introduced around 3rd of July. Visible on the far left of the graph is a few days of what it used to be like.

  • In what way?

  • PieFed is 3 years old today

    Jump

  • No, you'd export a CSV of who you follow out of Mastodon, and then upload that into PieFed. Your PieFed account will then follow all the same people you were following on Mastodon.

    One day it'd be nice to support Mastdon's account migration functionality so you can do a proper move which automatically gets all your old followers to follow your PieFed account but that's a long way off.
