If there’s another place to find answers, do let me know. I went over the piefed feature page and did a couple searches already.
I came here from Lemmy to try out Piefed and make another community, but I get an error that my account is too new and/or I don’t have a reputation.
Questions:
What does reputation or attitude mean? What do I need to have to make a community?
How old does my account have to be to make a community?
Why do I need to have an X account age to make a community?
Is there a way to separate upvotes and downvotes? If not, I don’t like it. Just seeing a number doesn’t tell me very much, especially about engagement. A -1 score could have 200 upvotes.
Why are the communist/socialist instances blocked by default and not like, maga? I see it’s blocked by my instance anyway, but thought it was weird to block those three considering there are much worse instances. I already unblocked them, so I don’t need help, I’m just wondering why.
Oh, and why can’t I see the modlog?
Thank you all for your time.
I don’t think a fun, optional instance on the fediverse, built on software that’s open-source and customizable, with a transparent modlog, fits the definition of “authoritarian.”
Then why do they ban any criticism of russia and china and support their genocidal imperialist policies?
I don’t know? Certainly not all of it because I’ve been critical of both in .ml. The craziest argument I had was about Art Spiegelman in hexbear, but even then that was just two users, and I didn’t get modded.
Of the few mod actions against my accounts, none have been from the “triad.” I was banned forever from a community in awful.systems for “fascism” though. I linked to a fascist guy’s blog to prove the guy we were talking about was a fascist.
That still isn’t the definition of an authoritarian, that’s just being a asshole.
