I feel like you’re moving from moderation to sort of oppressive or authoritarian territory once you’re literally building a social credit system into your software. If you want that, sure use PieFed. I don’t want that, so I won’t.

Ironic how piefed defederates from lgml and lml by default, yet implements CCP-style and CCP-vibe content and behaviour moderation.

So the reputation system. I’ll see if Rimu can be talked into making it instance level.
But its function is primarily to just catch out trolls and spammers. Make them more visible to admins.

It seems the chief complaint people have about Lemmy going to Piefed are how admins operate their instances. Not sure any of this will change that, or even help.
Not to mention all these are just a game for trolls and spammers to tool around with. Like: Up/downvotes were built before vote manipulation became a problem.
This stuff is the difference between building a bridge and governing who crosses it.

Its not vote manipulation as such here. Its much simpler than that. Lemmy has a spam problem. People coming in to just make shill communities selling a service or product or spamming advert posts across communities.
They usually get downvoted, but I can use Piefeds admin tools to filter for downvoted posts by new accounts. This usually catches most spammers like that. I can then ban them from piefed.social and pass that on to Lemmy admins.
A lot of Day 1 trolls are caught like this too.

Lol y’all complain about Lemmy’s moderation but think this is fine?
Starting to think what you actually disagree with is the political opinions of the Lemmy devs, not the “authoritarian” tactics themselves.
Skavau@piefed.social 3 days ago
This is just something piefed.social has, not all. Rimu dislikes 4chan culture heavily.

Oh please if Lemmy had that hard coded you would absoluutely not be defending it.

It can be taken out is what I mean. You are talking as if it can’t.
