Comment on Is the bot/troll situation getting worse?
haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 9 months agoVery good ideas! Any idea if something like this already exists? If not, shall we work on something? I have some experience in python if that helps.
PieFed is an open source lemmy alternative (written in Python) that makes good use of karma/reputation, as shown in this video:
Try the demo site at https://piefed.social and check out https://join.piefed.social. Also see https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta for recent feature announcements.
Thank you very much for sharing, I’ll keep an eye on it.
I‘m not searching for another thing to start but a way to make the current thing work. But thanks.
To be fair, Piefed uses Lemmy communities and comments, it’s almost just another interface.
The reputation is indeed interesting, example in this thread with warnings “low reputation, beware!”: piefed.social/post/27070#post_replies
Ah! Understood. Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks but not sure what’s currently implemented or even what the code base is written in 😅.
I might have a poke around and see if there’s any low hanging fruit.
Call me crazy but with a 5b ipo about to start I’d be shocked if reddit wasn’t paying some troll farms to brigade the fediverse and it’d be a shame if spez wins

Thats an interesting idea! Thank you very much for mentioning it!
We can absolutely write a bot in python and could try to use it like that. I already made a discord bot so this shouldn’t be brutally hard.

Awesome 👍 I’m more c#/Java, angular if there’s anything I can contribute.

Well, I do know some c# but not enough for it to be functional.
You could hit me up on github or pm here to get a repo set up somehere and go from there.
What do you think?
