Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.
What's another good instance that isn't Lemmy and backed by tankies?

Host your own?
This fucking sucks but I get it. Been thinking the same. You made this place better and we are at a loss now!
Whatever you get into ma it bring you happiness and prosperity!
You’ll be greatly missed. Thanks for everything.
This can't be happening
More than mildly disappointed to hear, though I totally understand. Yours was, in my opinion, the best content on the Fediverse. You will be sorely missed, and I hope where you go next ends up a more peaceful and less disruptive experience. o7
NO! Please! Say it ain't so!
Ah, we'll miss you. Your content is consistently some of the best out here.
The piefed admins are making a huge mistake with this change, and they're basing it on bad statistical methods. Every user already only gets one vote per post or comment, so it really doesn't matter if some users exercise that ability more than others. So framing it the same way as wealth disparity (literally using the same kind of chart) was not very insightful.
And to think I was considering switching to piefed soon... guess not anymore...
Thank you for your service Pug o7
I'm glad I didn't jump over right away. I was going to, and then things started getting weird and uncomfortable with it.
How does the Piefed vote limit effect your communities there, Pug? Do you believe that most people will have already reached their limit per day and prevent them from upvoting any submissions on your comms?
The Piefed vote limit fundamentally screws my own user experience into a deeply frustrating one. Many of my upvotes are towards comments and replies on my own posts, so being unable to interact with a large number of my notifications, beyond some comment like "Thank you!" that becomes asinine after the 15th time or so in a day, makes my experience incredibly shitty.
If you're asking "Why not migrate your account but keep the comms on Piefed.social?", then the issue remains, it's just less obvious on my end. The vote limiting in Piefed.social affects non-Piefed.social users; the instance would simply not count a, for example, Piefed.world PugJesus vote after the daily limit was hit. I could split my votes between multiple accounts, but I'm not sanguine that that won't be coded against in a future update; and it also, again, makes my user experience shittier.
... as well as doubts as to how this will effect the long-term trajectory of Piefed.social, including its longevity, and a desire to not have comms I run on a self-sabotaging instance that will damage both the comms' health and potentially end with me having to migrate from a Kbin-esque collapse anyway at a later date.
Just wanted to let you know how appreciated you are. You're is the only username I recognize honestly, and I know it's going to be good shit when I see it.
I understand burnout though. Can't fault you for wanting to care of yourself. I encourage it, actually.
edit: a letter
Piefed so weird
I don't know who would cheer, you're one of the pillars of this ecosystem as far as I'm concerned and even though I don't say it enough I always appreciate your efforts in keeping so many niche subs fed with constant content.
I totally get how you're feeling, and I can't blame you for being burned out. You've put in an insane amount of work over the years. I hope you find some time to rest.
You will be missed, and will be remembered for a long time.

I think I might be out of the loop. What's happening...?
There is a new rule metering the number of votes that can be cast by a user. You can see yours on your profile.
That's.... really weird.
On the surface the reasoning behind it makes sense, but there is also something about it (that I can't quite point out yet) that rubs me the wrong way.
It doesn't make sense though. It was presented as this unequal distribution thing where a few users cast the most amount of votes, but that really doesn't matter because each user still only gets one vote per post or comment. No one's opinion is outsized or disproportionate just because they vote on a lot of things.
It was really bad statistics from the start. It was framed sorta like wealth disparity, using the same kind of chart, but it's categorically not the same thing.
That sounds like the PieFed admins are jyst going to make it worse. Now there's going to be first user advantage, with the first comments on a thread getting preferrential treatment

Yeah, I can't seem to see what it accomplishes except to make the few users that reach it kinda mad. It seems like an experiment at best to see what kind of effect it will have on hot/all.

F. Is this in response of the vote quota?
Always enjoyed your posts and explanations. Hope to see you back here one day or another. Take care!
Please PugJesus, don't leave us :(
