  • it will probably end up being the direct trigger of suicides by people unfairly labeled as bots

    Yeah, possibly? Then again, the same could be said for running out of milk at the local grocery store, and more generally not everyone you dislike is (literally like) Hitler. By framing your argument in these terms you are distracting from the goal that you seem to be trying to reach. Take my answer however you will but I meant it in kindness.



  • People can block an entire community, preferring others instead where the mods keep out those kinds of posts. Nothing is perfect but this is a new tool that has potential to help people get what they want. e.g., is there anything wrong with NSFL posts, or bots, so long as they are properly labeled as such? If this tool helps organize at least some of the mess, then it can be helpful some of the time?

    Ofc, only in PieFed communities, and for people with PieFed accounts. Though if Lemmy likes the idea then perhaps it can add it as well (same for Mbin, nodeBB, flarum, pixelfed, Mastodon, Loops, etc.).


  • Pretty much none, since a lot of the best features of PieFed are not (or at least historically were not) exposed in the API for them to tap into.

    PieFed is moving forward so blazingly FAST that it might not seem like it, but overall it has not had the same amount of years of effort put into it that Lemmy has. Which imho makes it all the more impressive how its feature set has already (mostly) eclipsed that of Lemmy, and as we see here in the OP, also eclipsing that of Reddit as well. (But not in all ways, and the mobile API and the content searching are the two main ways where PieFed is a bit behind.)


  • People will never follow the rules. I mean some will but you can never count on all doing so.

    Inside of AskUsa most posts from non-mods are on explicitly political topics, despite efforts to state many other communities (stated by name and with links provided!) where those should go instead of there.

    And then outside of that community people refuse to put their questions into it.

    Part of the problem may be how the sidebar text tends to be fairly or even extremely hidden by some mobile apps. It would be helpful if the create post screens would show that - on all platforms: PieFed does, Lemmy does not, and some apps might or might not depending on the choices of those particular devs.




  • I think there’s a way to make that happen. Sorry I don’t use apps, I just played around with it in the past, but I recall not liking it until someone told me how to make the images larger - buried VERY deep in the customizations somewhere - and then afterwards it became my favorite app (except I don’t actually use apps, but IF I did, it would be Voyager. Or Thunder. And with full sized images that don’t cut parts out.)
