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.

    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.
