I tried joining Piefed instead of Lemmy… Before even making a single comment I was banned from 3 communities for “Lemmy account with same username has been seen to start arguments on the Lemmy equivalent to this community”
Yeah that’s dirty.
You could probably appeal those bans, but just autobanning everyone that reminds you of something bad isn’t a very good way to build community.
Those 3 communities are probably just one guy with a precrime banbot, btw
That night be there antibot automation. You can appeal if it wasn’t you. It’s their current attempt to try to combat some AI bots that have been around on Lemmy.
Their design is making it easier to see what the mods/admins think is wrongthink then remove from there. Or if you don’t interact how they want. Then there’s the poorly written code.
Since Lemmy existed before Piefed, pretty much all the bot accounts were here. So their current system uses a database of flagged Lemmy accounts and if the name matches someone else who joins, then it automatically gets flagged too. I think they also check IP addresses at the moment, though I don’t know if they gave up on that or are still experimenting with it.
Oh, for clarification - they’re not automating assessment of user interaction, rather of users who join, and afterwards checking that username to a database of flagged users on Lemmy. It’s to speed up the sign on process a bit more.
Since it’s possible someone else might just happen to pick the same username as that in the database, then it’s possible to appeal and mention you’re not that person on Lemmy.
Yeah, I was so excited about piefed when it first came out. But the thoughtcriming and social rating based on people disgreeing with you, took the shine off pretty quick.
Yep! I someone even mentioned that on the main piefed.social site, I was banned on there before I could even sign up and they had me on some “list.” LMAO
The substance of you exaggerating a moderation feature to discredit PF?
Oh no it has a little badge next to usernames that only admins and mods can see that shows a user might be problematic due to the majority of their posts being downvoted. Literal 1984.
Why is it when people bring up how piefed is bringing the worst of reddit, or other terrible practices supporters only respond with it’s a little icon?

Fucking thoughtcriming me
Piefed communities are creepy. It’s a platform based on the concept of those dead duplicate communities trying to boycott the Lemmy devs.
The piefed communities that come across my feed are so curated and empty it’s always just a mod fighting with every other comment.
!television@piefed.social and !movies@piefed.social are the most active communities on those topics
Yeah that’s dirty.

They’re automating assessments of user interactions on Lemmy as an anti-bot measure?

Kinda.

The automated part was the bigger issue, but it sounds like there’s probably not much assessment to have automated then.

But they are? That’s part of their mod tools to show those they want to allow.
That just sound like a terrible idea and as they said for the user.
Yeah, I was so excited about piefed when it first came out. But the thoughtcriming and social rating based on people disgreeing with you, took the shine off pretty quick.
You know as soon as you got on PieFed, the dev would hard code censoring you because you don’t support liberalism.
Yep! I someone even mentioned that on the main piefed.social site, I was banned on there before I could even sign up and they had me on some “list.” LMAO
Makes sense for piefed to censor you, you don’t support liberal capitalism.
Happens on lemmy as well.
Careful their PR team will come here to say why you are wrong on what the code does!
Oh look it’s the tankies coming out to talk shit about PieFed because people are abandoning their shitty transphobe software.
Just a few more donations bro and the devs will release a new feature in a few years! They might even think about allowing a proper blocklist.
Love the only response from you is insults, and ignoring the substance.
Although didn’t have you pegged as on the piefed pr department

Yes reading the code, and reasoning from the creator is definitely exaggerating.
So you are cool with that type of rules? Interesting
What type of rules? It’s literally an icon next to a username. I mod on PieFed, I see it occasionally it’s not a big deal.
Why is it when people bring up how piefed is bringing the worst of reddit, or other terrible practices supporters only respond with it’s a little icon?
Yes with an iron fist hilariously
