Okay, maybe I'm missing something? But it seems like the recent backlash upon our dev trying out caps upon our votes is just... WTF!? (piefed.social)

IIRC, PF-dev Rimu recently explained exactly why he was trialing such limits in a recent software update post. I.e., to create a more efficient internal & external software / HW backbone, for us users, AFAIK. Based on network / host / server loads etc, as I read the updates.

But yeah... the amount of recent negative reaction so far upon that seems... weirdly outsized?
(like, WTF?)

Like-- who the heck comes here exhausted upon corporate social media, and expects a free, open-source community of devs not to tinker with the road-posts and such..?

Pardon my puzzlement here, but I'm a happy PF contributor, and love @PugJesus@piefed.social. Both the dev here and PJ are friends of a sort, and some people I will always try to support.

Damn, sorry to hear your are leaving. I was considering it, but the .zip admins seem to be of the same mind as me and disabled the limiter.

It might be worth seeing if the anarchist fork of piefed is near completion (might be a migration option).

Either way, thank you for your contributions over the years I really enjoyed them. I hope you are able to find a location/platform where you're happy and appreciated :)

Unfortunately, the Flotilla has its own... distinct set of problems. If I return - and I wouldn't bet on it - it would probably be to .zip or .ca or the like.

For what it's worth, ive been on .zip since joining lemmy and it has been nothing but smooth sailing. We are a "boring" instance in the best sense, stuff is just working and the admin does a great job of keeping the users informed through monthly updates.

However i can definitely empathize with your frustration, you are one of the most prolific posters on the fediverse and migrating your work is still not as simple as it should be.

However you decide, thank you for all your entertaining and educational contributions 🫡

Gotcha, I can definitely understand that viewpoint.

Well, if you don't come back, I wish you happiness and a good rest of your life :)
