The software is open and has zero political or ideological leaning is what that person and I mean.

Yours, on the other hand, is not. I’m sure I’m tagged by default on Piefed already as “low quality” or something of the sort, purely because people downvote me because I’m not in the echo chamber of allowed opinions. Over the last few days I’ve had like 300 downvotes to about 15 upvotes just on about 3 comments in the one topic, where my comments are 100% factually, undeniably, demonstrably, correct - but people don’t like it because they think it’s “pro Apple”, and the echo chamber says they have to hate Apple.

That would make Piefed put a giant target on my head, wouldn’t it? Basically telling everyone “block this guy and ban him from your communities”. Lemmy doesn’t do that.

You also have a curated-by-you list of banned sources, which includes basically everything anyone left of centre would call “right wing”. Lemmy doesn’t.

Of the 12,730 accounts that were active in the last week, there are 60 with the so-called “low quality” indicator, or 0.4%.

And this is in an environment where people cast 32 times more upvotes than downvotes so to earn that badge you need to be super super completely absolutely unpopular.

You’re part of a pretty special group.

Maybe try being less of an asshole? See how that goes for you.

    There’s just you and me here, 1 person isn’t a pile on.
    
    Sorry you’re having a bad time, I hope you feel better soon.

    I said that your software promotes pile-ons, just like you were doing with that comment - but that you were personally piling on by yourself.
    
    I’m not having a bad time, I’m just pointing out that your software has giant problems that you purposely encourage. You proved my point by doing it in this very comment section.
    
    I hope one day you can interact with people outside of an echo chamber.
