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.

Db0 is not perfect, nor am I or you, but they are a far cry from what lemmy.ml is, which itself is also a far cry from what Lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net are.

No one is saying anything about being perfect or not.

We are discussing whether DB0 endorses tankies and enables tankies. You asked for something concrete and specific to prove this; I obliged.

With all due respect, the other points are not relevant as far as I am concerned.

DB0 endorses, enables and covers for tankies. This is a fact.

Someone downvoted you - I just wanted to say that it was not me.
