Comment on How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts?
goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 days agoThe point you are making with people going against the hivemind is related to people receiving a lot of downvotes, but doesn’t explain people giving a lot of downvotes.
Because it’s treated differently in piefed but still an example of how the software is designed to punish those who do not act the way the creator wants.
It just doesn’t seem like a way to actually address bad faith trolls or bad actors just make it easier to purge. Especially with instances that love to keep those types around, see world and shit just works.

If the part after the but is ignored sure. But that part is also the issue so 🤷.
The point is the tools of piefed will amply the bad actors by allowing them to do the worst parts of reddit in the fediverse.
Piefed system doesn’t punish those who do not act “the way the creator wants”.
Downvotes given are only actions from the user, no interaction from the Piefed dev.
Downvotes received is feedback from other users, no interaction from the Piefed dev either.

Trolls are already around, as you pointed out in another comment. I would rather have a tool that works 80% of the time to detect trolls than no tools at all.
When you ignore all the downsides and concerns everything looks amazing.
I wish I had your confidence in it being positive

Would you rather discard a tool that identifies 90% of trolls just because it doesn’t reach 100% accuracy?

Again it’s designed to empower downvoting to silence those against the hivemind
