I'm New! What's "Attitude?" Can I separate upvotes and downvotes? And other questions. (piefed.zip)

If there's another place to find answers, do let me know. I went over the piefed feature page and did a couple searches already.

I came here from Lemmy to try out Piefed and make another community, but I get an error that my account is too new and/or I don't have a reputation.

Questions:

What does reputation or attitude mean? What do I need to have to make a community?

How old does my account have to be to make a community?

Why do I need to have an X account age to make a community?

Is there a way to separate upvotes and downvotes? If not, I don't like it. Just seeing a number doesn't tell me very much, especially about engagement. A -1 score could have 200 upvotes.

Why are the communist/socialist instances blocked by default and not like, maga? I see it's blocked by my instance anyway, but thought it was weird to block those three considering there are much worse instances. I already unblocked them, so I don't need help, I'm just wondering why.

Oh, and why can't I see the modlog?

Thank you all for your time.

Meanwhile on Grad is some highschool level call-out culture. The person who runs it is abusive, insulting, has made some pretty crazy comments about Isreal, and uses alts to manipulate votes.

Why is it call out culture to show for example ML users cheering on the russian takeover of Lugansk oblast (with claims such as "Lugansk is liberated from the Nazis")?

This is fair evidence to show that ML's users, its mods and admins are committed genocidal imperialists. A lot of leftists pretend to care about Gaza, but the examples in MOG strongly suggests that this is an aesthetic choice and if russia/china were organizing genocide in Gaza, the leftists would claim that it was a "de-radicalization operation" and that "russia is trying improve the lives of the Gazans".
