    Why would you suggest piefed when it has so much biased hard-code in it’s database?

    It is clear that Rimu has forced his personal viewpoint and ideology into his code. Despite the claims there has been no evidence that this is the case for Lemmy.

    He has coded in deliberatly misleading error messages when you try to upload images he doesn’t like

    • You cannot cast a vote on PieFed if you’ve made 0 replies, 0 posts, AND your username is 8 characters long
    • When a reply is created, from anywhere, that only contains the word “this”, the comment is dropped
    • Every user (remote or local) has an “attitude” which is calculated as follows: (upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes). If your “attitude” is < 0.0 you can’t downvote. Again there is no mention of this anywhere but deep within his biased-code
    • Every account has a Social Credit Score. If your account has less than 100 Social Credit Score and is newly created, you are not considered “trustworthy” and there are limitations placed on what your account can do. Your Social Credit Score is calculated as upvotes earned - downvotes earned aka Reddit Karma. If your reputation is at -10 you also cannot downvote, and you can’t create new DMs. It also flags your account automatically if your reputation is to low. Echo-chamber achieved!
    • If you use em dashes your account is flagged to the admin, more like 1984-fed
    • if you try to comment a .gif … you fail because the code lord Rimu doesn’t like it
    • Rimu has turned the block into an instance wide shadowban again without telling anyone
    • He has hardcoded which instances are allowed and which arent
    • He has hardcoded links to his ideology into the sidebar
    • He vindictively targeted a single user with code

    The code review can be found here

    Maybe someone should do a code review for lemmy to see how those tankies have influenced it.

      Sounds like hell for someone with problems to put thoughts in words and/or uncommon opinions. You either go blend with the mass or die.

      Also, could I use my current lemmy account to upvote my each pie comment, to get better score in few minutes? Kinda fragile for cheats.

        You could but they disregard votes from any instance that doesn’t fit the glorious leader’s opinion.

      Okay. So? This is in part anti-spam measures. It’s very specific, but how many users do you imagine this applies to in practice?

      When a reply is created, from anywhere, that only contains the word “this”, the comment is dropped

      Piefed.social only. Toggleable off.

      Every user (remote or local) has an “attitude” which is calculated as follows: (upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes). If your “attitude” is < 0.0 you can’t downvote. Again there is no mention of this anywhere but deep within his biased-code

      Yes, this is to mitigate mass-downvoting. Why is this inherently a problem to you?

      Every account has a Social Credit Score. If your account has less than 100 Social Credit Score and is newly created, you are not considered “trustworthy” and there are limitations placed on what your account can do. Your Social Credit Score is calculated as upvotes earned - downvotes earned aka Reddit Karma. If your reputation is at -10 you also cannot downvote, and you can’t create new DMs. It also flags your account automatically if your reputation is to low. Echo-chamber achieved!

      Trolls/spammers etc are serious problems on sites like Lemmy and Piefed. If you’re a new account and you’ve managed to get -100 reputation that quickly, it’s not a good sign. If and as the Fediverse grows, instance owners are going to need more observation tools to catch this type of stuff.

      If you use em dashes your account is flagged to the admin, more like 1984-fed

      AI detection tools. But I’ve seen a lot of AI posters right now caught through this. use of the em-dash is very much a sign, unfortunately. It doesn’t ban them by the way. It just flags new accounts doing it to admins. So? Admins can turn this off.

      if you try to comment a .gif … you fail because the code lord Rimu doesn’t like it

      Can be turned off at the instance level.

      Rimu has turned the block into an instance wide shadowban again without telling anyone

      No. If every instance was Piefed, you simply wouldn’t be able to reply to anyone who has blocked you. “Reply” is essentially faded out. The difference is that Lemmy doesn’t implement the block function in the same way, so Piefed just throws out replies by blocked users to the person who has blocked them coming from Lemmy. That’s the mismatch at play here.

      If you can somehow still reply via a Piefed instance, it is bugged and not working as intended.

      He vindictively targeted a single user with code

      This has been removed now, and it wasn’t “vindictive” in purpose at all.

        Yea sure, if it wasn’t called out how long would those malicious code stayed in?

        Thanks for agreeing that there is clear bias inside the piefed code. Who knows if you can acually keep those setting or if a new “update” won’t revert the changes back to what he wants you to see or not see. In addition how do users know any of this? Why is he even doing this to begin with? Are you an alt of the glorious leader?

      All that is optional and can be turned off in Admin settings.

      Not to mention you’re exaggerating a loot.

        Glad you agree that Rimu is putting his own beliefs and ideology into the piefed code, any chance you know of similar issues with the lemmy code? Not if there isn’t any documentation and how do the users know if the social credit score is active on their instance? He intentionally makes it hard to know if your image or comment even applies, it is like this bizarre shadowban for anyone the glorious leader doesn’t like.
