It's been fun, but I don't have another migration left in me. (media.piefed.social)

Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

I even recommend it to people who are adamant about not switching from their existing Lemmy accounts

indeed. that's what I do as well.

Maybe you can try to convey the controversy

I most probably will not if I'm recommending it for people new to the threadiverse. If they ask, then I may explain. Although I might forget honestly. Same with the lemmy controversy. I only remembered because you and others reminded me of it in replies of this post.

3rd-party app negates most of PieFed’s onboarding utility also, which is a further complication.

It does indeed. I recently tried a few apps again. I am still using Summit but want to see how the others handle it, but for piefed. None of them, including Summit, does onboarding as well as piefed on a web browser.

I seem to have misunderstood what you meant in your edit paragraph

Yeah, it's a tongue in cheek comment. I agree with you that if an instance stating they are disabling whatever votes upfront isn't being manipulative. It's transparent and honest, so people can make their own informed decision.

It's just that I don't remember downvoting being disabled on piefed.social because I can downvote just fine. Maybe those are all posts in comms that are not in piefed.social and I just never encountered piefed.social posts in my subscribed feed much. Can a comms mod set votes turned on or off on piefed instances?

I just am still gobsmacked that Rimu decided to put on brakes by default and opt-out function to the threadiverse growth. We are having trouble as it is getting just users, and retaining them, not to mention getting and retaining quality active posters and lurkers. The worst thing about it is that they didn't discuss it in a more public manner before the decision. What a weird opinionated action.

Yes PieFed allows community mods to do some strange things on a per-community basis. One cool trick is to only count "subscribed" votes, which helps avoid drive-by voting from All.

Though this vote quota issue is a per-instance setting, not able to be overwritten by a community moderator.

I think Rimu is bored, not wanting to play with UI elements and wanting to jump ahead to more back-end concerns. He gets enough flack from the Lemmy community that he has to develop a thick skin to ignore all that anyway (see latest blog post prior to v1.7), though now may be too insensitive to his real supporters of PieFed.

This communication issue is the really big take-home, as it's causing people like PugJesus to quit in protest and it will work strongly against new people joining.

I empathize with him from that blog post, but he's just refusing to accept valid opinions.

Well we just have to see how this moves forward.

I was already thinking migrating from piefed.social because they don't federate/block ani.social, and as an anime enjoyer I don't like that.

And I'll make a spicy account for more spicy comms just like how I did with reddit back then. Separation of on the streets and under the sheets, if I may. 🤣

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 1 hour ago

I am not sure what you mean - ani.social is federated, though possibly some communities are blocked or some such?

Rimu can do whatever he wants, but yeah so can you as well. It seems like he is past caring, possibly burning out by all the Lemmy vs. PieFed drama, like the undisclosed vulnerabilities issue that was unleashed upon PieFed recently, causing most of the instances to have to shut down.

I hope he finds joy again. In the meantime, I hope you find what you are looking for as well:-).
