Piefed by default auto-subscribes accounts to a curated set of communities, auto-hides downvoted content and downvoted posters, attaches icons to accounts to mark those that have beyond a particular threshold of downvotes and entirely blocks links to a curated set of sites because Rimu deemed them to be unacceptable.
The only saving grace is that at this point those (anti-)features are generally toggleable at least at the admin level, but that’s thanks to wjs018.
Piefed by default auto-subscribes accounts to a curated set of communities
When I first signed up, I was given a ‘checkbox system’ to subscribe to /c’s of interest. IIRC I also had the option of signing up for none. That said, if PF auto-subscribes to some core communities (like META, help, Fediverse, etc), then I’m not really seeing a problem?
auto-hides downvoted content and downvoted posters
I mean… I see plenty of downvoted content & posters in my subscribed feed. Maybe that’s not the case with ALL, tho? TBH, that sounds like SOP in terms of social media.

I like it, as that generally helps identify low-effort & toxic posters. I guess I can see the point though that it might accidentally sweep up others, simply because they’re challenging or whatnot. On the whole though, I certainly don’t have a problem with that little bit of extra info, which I’m free to do with as I please.

Yeah. Personally I would have liked to have some access to various NSFW content, as I’m not a child, but then again, PF.S is Rimu’s home instance, and as the dev and head admin, I absolutely do not have a problem with him doing that. I mean, if I really wanted to work around that, there are plenty of other PF instances as a base…
So at the end of the day, you seem to be calling someone a “bit of a twat” based on policy decisions. Someone who’s donated loads of his personal time, effort and brainwaves to a community project for loads of others to enjoy. Can’t say that sounds particularly cool to me, mate.

I’m thinking of making a replacement NSFW account a piefed based instance after lemmynsfw died. I just like most of what piefed has quite a bit, especially consolidating similar posts’ comments.
Or maybe I should go back to mbin and find some artists on mastodon/misskey and put in more effort weaning off xitter. Still annoyed that a lot of artists are still on it.
If you mean Rimu, I haven’t seen any examples of that. Explain?
I saw him recently attacking the dbzero instance. Check this comment and probably this post.
I tried getting through that mess, but was left even more confused than when I began.
TL;DR?
The post I linked (the last link) contains the deleted comment from dbzero admin. And it’s basically a TL;DR of the events.
Edit: Interesting, looks like the comment (and others from that person) aren’t displayed on piefed.
But the person doesn’t appear to be banned: https://piefed.social/u/mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Thanks. I’m just going to drop this one, as I don’t have the energy to dig further in to this, and no dogs in this ‘fight.’
