6·6 天前Genuine question: does this mean that PieFed is now no longer ActivityPub compliant? Is it not fully part of the Threadiverse anymore, and is now its own little subset of that? Even Mbin still accepted vote counts, even though it added boosts (“increases” and “reductions” iirc?) on top of them.
Let’s not catastrophise. Piefed is still ActivityPub compliant, or as compliant as it was. Nothing in the spec says you have to accept an activity, it’d be pretty nonsensical if it did because moderation wouldn’t be possible.
Could you tell from your look at the code if PieFed is only throttling its own users internally, prior to votes federating out, or throttling incoming votes from Lemmy as well?
It’s throttling incoming votes as well, you can see that here. It honestly wouldn’t make much sense if it didn’t, though it is irksome that it blocks announcing the vote to other instances. That makes piefed comms something the really active users will avoid.
Also this is so ridiculously easy to get around: most of us have a variety of obvious and self-acknowledged alts across the Threadiverse, but I doubt PieFed is going to maintain a mapping among all of them
Even if they tried to do that, people would just stop being forthcoming with their alts.

6·6 天前You said in the release notes that this was about server load, but now it’s about people voting too much for your tastes? 14K unique people cast at least one vote in the past day, I really doubt 10 people are having a great impact on the rankings. And if you think people are bots manipulating the rankings, then wouldn’t it be better to bring it up in the admin chats so they get banned?
Also, what’s the methodology you’ve used there? You say the top voter has 23K votes, but from feddit.uk’s data the top voter is at 19K, who happens to be a p.s user mind you.

37·9 天前The problem with this defence is that they did notice it because they removed it from the German version of the email, they said as such.

1·9 天前I know, I read the description. It just looks like a nicer syntax around setting up a tokio runtime and sending code between runtimes. It’d still be nice to have a non-tokio options so stuff could be single threaded.

1·10 天前Huh, that pretty cool actually. I need to play around and see if this works with gtk-rs, channels get fairly annoying if you need to use them a lot.















How is it already a scam site???
