Comment on What is piefed?
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 day agoI seriously doubt it because I’m pretty sure the point is to remove the ability for bot accounts and spammers/etc from farming up some karma to appear more legit for their nefarious/spamming purposes.

I think either way could possibly be exploited.
And putting all that aside, I think all image-centric subs should probably be included. It’s just as easy to frame karma with cute cars and flowers as it is with memes.

Excluding OC communities, right? Like you’re not discounting people who put a lot of time and effort into their photography? Or even if they’re not great photographers sharing pictures of their plants and gardens and hobbies, and pets, should have the same allowances as text only posts

This is a great comment; my initial reaction was “No because it would be easy to claim others OC was your own” but then the same could be said about text or link contributions.
Then I thought “well maybe reputation should only be based on comments” but that could be unfair to those who primarily post vs comment.
So now I don’t know what my position is. The best method is probably a blend of multiple strategies that can only be determined by engaging with the enemy.
tl;dr: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I appreciate this!
Generally oc forward subs are very stringent about it truly being OC and if caught posting something that isn’t theirs will face consequences
Blurry pics of a cat’s right up on the lens is low effort. Any pictures you see posted in a place like lemmy.world/c/astrophotography will not be low effort because those are removed. They also require the submissions to be OC
