I think this is in the context of avoiding Threadiverse political turf wars.

I feel attacked

Whomst

I have seen no reports

But I’m not quite sure what you’re saying here. I don’t know what piefed.zip’s policy is, but whatever you post on !fedimemes@feddit.uk should remain on there forever, and only be purged locally on piefed instances that have decided to remove old posts after X period of time.

Save on space. It’s set up on a community-by-community basis. It’s turned on for a bunch of meme communities on piefed.social and some caustic ones.

This is a toggle for particular communities that Piefed admins can turn on. It’s purely done to safe space. In the case of piefed.social, which this applies to here - Rimu chose it for most meme communities because he doesn’t value them in the grand scheme of things.

No. That user chooses to use that instead of “th”.

It was overall, less active than the Fediverse.

I think you can reasonably blame the lack of features here, honestly. I’m not saying if they had them they would have challenged Reddit, but they’d have been much more active. Community moderators almost certainly lost interest when they realised they had no real control over their community, and the longer the time elapsed with no tools to do so - the more drifted away leaving abandoned communities where AI and bots and trolls move in - compounding it even further.

They also, on day 1 of their community launch, allowed day 1 old accounts to make communities. Even if each account could only moderate 2 communities, that wasn’t smart at all.

A Reddit-styled site where AI handles community moderator decisions isn’t reddit. Communities aren’t communities, they’re just hashtags.

Indeed, but zero mod tools other than “delete post” 2 months in was genuinely laughable. To be frank, it should’ve launched with proper moderation: delete posts, ban users, sticky posts, filters for post-types etc. This is standard stuff that users shouldn’t even have to haggle for.

If they gave community moderators proper tools to help them here and put up walls - they could’ve mitigated a lot of this.

It’s the other admin from lemmynsfw who has taken it up.

It’s default defederated, but any server can remove them. That’s all.

Pretty sure any piefed instance that had previously federated with lemmynsfw communities can do this on the community browser. Piefed.social didn’t, but others may have done

Sopuli is blocking hexbear and lemmygrad. Same as most instances.

Well, I’ll give you one example. Piefed has tools designed to suppress new AI posters. I don’t know if other instances use it - probably not, but Piefed.social does use this. Can it get it wrong and incorrectly alert us to users who are not using AI? Absolutely. Does this bother you? Legitimately curious.

I imagine every instance has the capacity to turn some cogs to censor content, but will choose not to. Sopuli for itself absolutely is blocking some instances though.

Again, it’s just “anyone that disagrees with communism and does something that indirectly impedes it (or an organ of it, in this case) is a part of the global effort” to target it" or something. All it really does is suggest that communism (at least how you view it in application), globally, is just not that popular.

Also, what “leftist phrases” are banned here exactly?

thanks for confirming that my spidey senses were right about your intentions and i struggle to understand why you keep trying bring this back us politics when the epstein files make it clear this is a global effort.

I still fail to see what this at all has to do with Rimu specifically or even slightly. By your standards anyone who does anything that somehow inhibits hexbear/lemmygrad indirectly or directly (or spaces like them) is a part of that “global effort”.

He just thought Lemmy was lacking, in various ways, and made his own platform.

I was seeing if you were going to spread conspiracy theories about a guy who has no connections to any ‘elite’ just because he finds hexbear/lemmygrad toxic.

He’s from NZ. I doubt much of anything about US politics endears to him.

in full candor: these questions are starting to feel like the same sort of sealioning that i experienced during the election, so i will provide those receipts when it’s convenient for me to do so or (better yet) you could do your own homework since rimu’s interviews are freely available on youtube (assuming that they haven’t been removed); the source code is available at its repository websites (assuming the pertinent commits haven’t also been removed); and you expand your search beyond those subreddits that you identified.

I would wager I interact with him more than you do, for context.

I know what he means by content quality.
