I wasn’t a power user on Reddit. I wasn’t even a particularly active lurker. So… I’ll go back to not being an active member of online communities. Return to doomscrolling Facebook and Tumblr without participation, I guess. Game more. I enjoyed sharing history on the Fediverse more than all of that, but not if my user experience is going to be shitty or require a reworking of my communities every year. At that point, I’d rather just keep to myself, and the Fediverse doesn’t have enough content for me to just be a satisfied lurker on here.
Who the fuck doomscrolls Facebook?
Sometimes when I'm trying to avoid doom scrolling on insta, I'll open Facebook to doom scroll the marketplace and I'll sometimes get sucked in groups content. The site is a trash heap though. Total dumpster fire. Makes me feel dirty.
It does explain his political views
I doomscroll musical instrument listings on Facebook Marketplace all the time. You find some real gems in there, like people who list compound bows (the rooty-tooty-point-and-shooty kind, not the "violin" kind) as "hole punches" and categorize them as musical instruments. Very, very rarely an actual bargain will come up in this goddamned wasteland, and I guess I'm at the "call of the void" phase of this shit because I will roll the dice on losing both kidneys for a shot at a Mashall JCM-series head selling for less than eBay, Guitar Center, or Reverb.
I haven't had a Facebook account in about a decade at this point.
I quit that cesspit almost a decade ago. Just thinking about going back gives me this dreadful feeling of impending doom. So I guess any scrolling of fb is doom scrolling
Lindsey Graham-dead
PJ-demoralized
Mitch McConnell-dead (slight hyperbole atm)
What a fucking great weekend this has been.
Now now, don't forget Ann Widdecombe got it too

I don't get why people love that account so much. Then again $5 says they'll be back by Wednesday pretending this didn't happen
He produces like 30% of the content they consume, if he leaves the instance will become a wasteland
It already is a wasteland, but it can still become a desolate one
I thought that was also what the dev wanted their instance to be?

'How did all this fascism get in my anti-communism?'
Oh no where will I read copy and pasted wiki summaries presented as personal knowledge from now?
What is this about pieces.social wanting less engagement on their instance?
Pie-fed users now have a limited number of votes they can give per day. The exact amount is configurable by admins. Default is 240. More details are buried in that thread.

Hexbear gold users have unlimited upvotes and a single downvote
Capitalists not create false scarcity challenge (Impossible)
He's not trying to commodify it though. Its a sort of misguided egalitarianism. Like he's actually being a capitalist caricature of a communist.
Lol what. That's ridiculous
The user I linked to had some post about how absurd this was implemented because its not just "my users can only give X votes per day". Federated users have their votes capped when viewed from that instance as well.
Rimu is going crazy.
Anyone shouting about "tankie authoritarianism" is just projecting. Rimu is one of many examples.
I don't think rimu started piefed out of anti tankie sentiment fwiw. He wanted started piefed because he wanted more mod tools and the Lemmy devs were very strict about their architecture.
The mass migration to piefed was absolutely all those "power users" jumping ship at the first chance to virtue signal that they weren't tankies. Despite the Lemmy devs never baking their ideology into the code base beyond the AGPL.
I think he wanted those mod tools to build an even more solid echo chamber though, to better police the tankies. I could be wrong but his behavior since hasn't given me any reason to think otherwise

I've barely followed the piefed drama, but so much of what I hear is that it's chock full of "features" to address things the maintainer (and virtually no one else) personally finds annoying.
That's the most of it. The whole communist/liberal dialog between piefed and Lemmy is background. Piefed. started because rimu wanted to be able to hack in these admin controls easily and found it too hard with lemmy's rust base.
...... But why?
Something about 10 users accounting for 60% of the upvotes on piefed that rimu objected to.
-
Punishing your power users probably isn't good for your webbed site
-
Having only 10 power users feels decidedly low. Maybe building a Lemmy alternative soley on being "anti-tankie" isn't actually a huge draw for most people

Rimu continues to show piefed is just a way for them to control people and yet so many continue to say it's the only option cause lemmy devs are worse 🤔
Like there was absolutely nothing wrong with Lemmy if you weren't on .ml. The devs kept their politics solidly to their own instance. Jumping ship was a way for liberal power users to virtue signal.
That makes little sense. That's only 10 up votes per post or comment. That sounds like a very low traffic instance lol.
Those posters do way more than than 240. I think rimu did some napkin math so it doesn't affect +99% of users. But its still just a bad solution. Its like saying the way to stop billionaires is to limit how much one person can spend.
In PJs case its just him upvoting every positive comment he receives. He is sort of like fossilique in just posting normal stuff 99% of the time. Its when he actually gives his opinion that he's a problem.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out PugFascist
I have so many people in that thread on block I had to view it on another instance logged out to realize how little I care about these people or what they think about Lemmy.
Shitlib on shitlib violence
who?
They say "migration" as if they have to do major work to pack up everything and move. But moving to a new Lemmy instance means literally just making an account and importing your settings. It takes less than a minute if you already know where you want to move to.
to be fair, it's a lot worse if you have to do all that and then hang out with lemmitors
Buh-bye honey!
My logged-out lemmy experience will be dramatically improved if I don't have to see this shithead's posts anymore.
this is a terrible blow to the terminally online loser community, my thoughts are with them in this trying time
Bye, Felicia. 👋
Rest in piss
I support piefed making irrational design choices such that they drive away the chuds and turbolibs. God bless'm!
