It’s pretty effective!
Also go to https://piefed.world/admin/users?page=1&search=&local_remote=&sort_by=created+DESC&last_seen=0 and look for any recently created accounts with a negative reputation. They tend to be spammers.

https://piefed.world/admin/spam shows all the posts that get downvoted. People are quick to downvote but slow to report so often that report shows things well before anything else.

Not yet, this functionality isn’t running on a live server.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 5 days ago:
Yes the screenshot is just the user settings. Admins are going to have to manually designate accounts as reposters because I haven’t even tried to make an automated detection. That would be very hard to get right.

OP is just a repost bot, it doesn’t have the capacity to be defeatist.
- Comment on Man sacked by Grand Theft Auto maker believes employees were put on ‘watch list’ 2 weeks ago:
Oram also said he believed there was a connection between the list of names who signed the 2023 petition about remote working and the eventual firings in 2025. But Cordrey questioned whether this was really the case when 141 of 154 people who signed it were not fired.
Good luck son
- Comment on Has Piefed omitted some instances? 3 weeks ago:
lemmy.ml and dbzer0 are silenced on piefed.social, which makes their communities hard to find.
But if you go to their url directly you can join them like normal:
https://piefed.social/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
https://piefed.social/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
There is no hardcoded instance block list. There are some instances that are defederated from initially when an instance is first created but the instance admin is told about this when it happens and they can change it by clicking around in the admin area.

- Comment on Is there a way for lemmy to hide on vote? 3 weeks ago:
Yes there is a way, please see https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta@piefed.social/p/2262951/hide-mark-a-post-as-read-without-voting-on-it
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yes as soon as I posted that I realised how silly it was
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
This looks like a fun time. I look forward to having the hardware to run it, in 10 years. Maybe in 20, when I retire.
- Comment on Anyone out there? 5 weeks ago:
Definitely not.
It varies depending on the instance but generally bots get banned.

I’m not sure what you heard but this should clear it up any misunderstandings.

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.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
Fair enough.
How websites are labelled is up to the instance admin. It used to be that all labels were warnings but in the latest version of PieFed it became possible to use neutral or positive icons as well:
It still says ‘warning type’ and ‘warning on posts’ in the UI which is an oversight I’ve just noticed!
This change was a result of criticism I read. Often when people write that stuff they think they have discovered some nefarious thing that exists that way because I want it to. The fact is it was all thrown together very quickly so it’s not always well thought-out but when people don’t like things I listen and make changes. Nothing is set in stone.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
PieFed has some sensible defaults but all blocks can be changed by the server admin. They’re not hard-coded.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
PieFed has no hardcoded instance or user blocks. You were lied to by bad people.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
Lemmy’s lack of features is why Lemmys community is how it is and that suits the Lemmy devs and their goals perfectly.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
ideologically posed to keep the thing open, for the people, by the people
What. Check out the modlog, they ban more people than anyone.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
It’s up to the mods and admins what they do with PieFed’s functions. Anything can be misused, even simple stuff. Like for example lemmy.ml has a description “a community for Foss and privacy enthusiasts” set by the admins and then ridicules and bans anyone who pushes back against the .ml political line on China.
The software feature of having a instance description is innocuous but it’s being used for deception.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
Cool.
Btw if the default UI of piefed isn’t doing it for you, try https://b.piefed.social or https://p.piefed.social. Use the same login.

Interesting, thanks

Abelism or not it took seconds to change so I don’t mind.
Attitude has turned out to be a lot less useful than I hoped…
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
I removed the word ‘stupid’ from the code 3 months ago, the function is now called ‘reply_is_low_effort’.
The haters don’t bother keeping their propaganda up to date.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
whether it affects them immediately, or is just something they may be concerned about in the future.
There is a 99% chance it won’t effect them because 99% of people don’t vote more than the quota. I was very careful about that.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 month ago:
The vote quota can be set to whatever the instance admin desires.
afaik only piefed.zip and multiverse.soulism.net have chosen to increase it, though.

Technically, 4 GB is supposed to be enough. https://support.image-line.com/action/knowledgebase?ans=82

Your CPU has only 2 cores. It’s probably the CPU holding you back more than the RAM. If you open up system monitor while working on a large project you’ll be able to see which maxes out first.
