  • That would be the case if most instances operated like that but most don't. Most will ultimately have it enabled, and if most of them have it enabled it will affect users even on ones where it is turned off.

    I feel like this is speculative. I don't think karma systems across the fediverse are popular enough for that.

    Is this a piefed.social change or a piefed software change.

    Both.

    If it's the former it's still a big trust issue because it can presumably be turned off and on at will, by making it hardcoded it can still be disabled but it's more work, requires maintaining a fork and basically guarantees that 99% of modlogs will be there and be recording.

    You could say that about a lot of things that Lemmy instance admins could do, but choose not to.

  • People need to be the change they want to see. I came here because I wanted to run some communities, but ultimately it was impossible on Reddit. All the names are taken, all the aging mod teams set in stone. You essentially have no meaningful opportunity to build anything new on there. In contrast, and especially with federation, the Fediverse is a completely different system. A fresh start - still after 2 years. And it has way better internal advertisement of communities than Reddit does.

    And to be clear, on Reddit you can easily just shout into the wilderness at no-one. Big audience means you can get drowned out.

  • Disagree. If I run a metal music community, and someone who doesn't like metal continually goes in there and downvotes everything because, well, they don't like metal music. What use are they to it? Why wouldn't I ban them? All they're doing is hurting the visibility of the community. This is the context in which I would ban downvoters from my community. Serial mass downvoting by people who never otherwise engage with the community, don't like the topic of the community, and in some cases - the accounts have zero comment history and purely exist to downvote.

    I think this is quite different to just 'wanting an echo-chamber'.

  • No, I said I haven't seen 12 downvotes in 5 minutes. I accept for extreme cases it might happen, but for ordinary topical posting in the relevant communities? Never seen it.

    Also, I didn't say anything about restricting it.

  • But there's also a large difference between 5 minutes and 24 hours time-wise.

    12 downvotes in 5 minutes on ostensibly 'neutral' or non-controversial topics are way dodgier to me than 50 in 24 hours. I have never seen downvoting at such a rate anyway.

  • I post a lot on a pretty busy community for lemmy standards and have never seen 12 downvotes in such a short time. Or any number close.

    Also I am not sure how 50 downvotes over a day is more sus to you than 12 in 5 minutes.

    Krysten Ritter Is “Thrilled” To Be Back As Jessica Jones & Says It Was “Torture” Holding The Marvel Secret For Two Years

  • Its only really problematic on smaller instances or if you do it continuously for every single post without a good valid reason

    And that's closer to what I am referring to. If someone just hates movies or TV and doesn't want to see it on their feed, they should block it rather than downvote every post from movies and television communities. They aren't somehow mitigating an echo chamber by signifying how they hate movies and TV content. They're just vandalising it.

  • Piefed has a lot more tools than Lemmy: feeds, following communities/posts and profiles and getting notifications for them. Flairs, hashtags and many smaller little things and it is getting a lot of updates compared to Lemmy.
