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

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. ๐คฃ
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:-).
Possible that that is the case. I might have conflated it to mean the instance is blocked or defed
I thought I posted something about it but at least as a post it was for a different comm that is just a mirror bot reposting reddit posts. I could have asked in comments but I'm lazy to look for it
Do you this this post of yours? Rimu said it was a bug and already fixed now. He is super responsive (usually) and tends to fix bugs fairly quickly upon reporting them.
Yeah, I remember that post. That's not the post or comment I was thinking of.
Yeah, despite the current situation, I'm glad that rimu still takes time to fix bugs like that quickly.
He has a good heart, trying to help people, e.g. offering PieFed as FOSS.
