I just wish I could say the other instance didn’t also have performance issues

No idea, and can’t see recommendations in their install guidelines.

I really need to get setup to connect there. Always forget until after it’s dowm

Wouldn’t shock me considering how’s it been outage wise 😭

And based on current feed, it’s been out of sync for a while since world so far behind 🙃

It was down since Friday, and last time looked into it was getting name server errors. So maybe issues with the provider it runs on?

piefed is the way

Piefed is just as bad and is designed to mimic the worst parts of reddit

Oh so they are going to use the Puppet excuse to move away from open source?

we must move to have our code internal only for now. Totally just for security reasons nothing to do with us also changing licensing to make it harder for those building things for us

no don’t bring up the security incident we’re referring to that shows us as the issue not having code visible! (ie they cheaped out on people/set up and vendor had keys visible)

if a legit user gets flagged as toxic, there’s no other consequence besides the warning, that doesn’t prevent anything from being seen.

Yet

Wouldn’t say running in circles as much as ignoring the issues

When you ignore all the downsides and concerns everything looks amazing.

I wish I had your confidence in it being positive

Again it’s designed to empower downvoting to silence those against the hivemind

And here’s an example of a bigger troll who it surprise surprise doesn’t get flagged https://feddit.online/u/FiniteBanjo

Because it’s treated differently in piefed but still an example of how the software is designed to punish those who do not act the way the creator wants.

If the part after the but is ignored sure. But that part is also the issue so 🤷.

The point is the tools of piefed will amply the bad actors by allowing them to do the worst parts of reddit in the fediverse.

The point you are making with people going against the hivemind is related to people receiving a lot of downvotes, but doesn’t explain people giving a lot of downvotes.

It just doesn’t seem like a way to actually address bad faith trolls or bad actors just make it easier to purge. Especially with instances that love to keep those types around, see world and shit just works.

There has been many times on lemmy and reddit where that is not the case, just saying what people didn’t like was enough. From games to politics people love to dogpile. Making a system that helps do that is asinine.

Blaze you do so much for the fediverse but defending this type of system is very disappointing to me.

Basically if someone goes against hive mind once or twice can cause getting removed or limited on their instance.

Except it appears designed for that not actually detection of the bad users. And does nothing when the toxic users just say on their own instance or comm. (like goat, pugjeasus and with recent db0 votes the feddit.org admin)

Piefed ties your voting habits and how often downvoted so it can flag you if either downvoted too much or down vote up and down sort of equally.

Find people who have low karma

When someone is consistently getting downvoted it’s likely they are a problem. PieFed provides a list of accounts with low karma, sorted by lowest first. Clicking on their user name takes you to their profile which shows all their posts and comments in one place. Every profile has “Ban” and “Ban + Purge” buttons that have instance-wide effects and are only visible to admins.

The ‘Rep’ column is their reputation. As you can see, some people have been downvoted thousands of times. They’re not going to change their ways, are they?

The ‘Reports’ column is how often they’ve been reported, IP shows their IP address and ‘Source’ shows which website linked to PieFed when they initially registered. If an unfriendly forum starts sending floods of toxic people to your instance, spotting them is easy. (In the image above all the accounts are from other instances so we don’t know their IP address or Source). Find people who downvote too much

Once an account has made a few votes, an “attitude” is calculated each time they vote which is the percentage of up votes vs. down votes.

People who downvote more than upvote tend to be the ones who get in fights a lot and say snarky, inflammatory and negative things. If you were at a dinner party, would you want them around? By reviewing the list of people with bad attitudes you can make decisions about who you want to be involved in our communities.

All these accounts have been downvoting a lot (Attitude column) and receiving some downvotes (Rep column). Their profiles are worth a look and then making a decision about whether they’re bringing down the vibe or not.

But sadly do on piefed
