Did you know most coyotes are illiterate?
For what it’s worth, when I signed up to piefed.ca it asked me to pick 3 interests and there were only 2 interests to even choose. I just clicked past the screen without picking anything, and it seemed to accept that as an answer. So maybe it’s already working fine, and the text just needs to be updated to be more optional-sounding?
The comment collapsing I think is fine; Lemmy-style forums already heavily rely on voting to move content around, and I think net -10 is a pretty good indicator that the comment in question has bad info, is a troll, or is otherwise not good content (as voted by the local community).
The low karma icon I’m seeing out in the wild and honestly, so far every time I see someone with that icon I look at that profile and sure enough there really are a lot of downvoted comments and antagonistic behavior. It’s probably handy to determine whether someone is sealioning, trolling, or just otherwise has a lot of bad takes (again, as voted by their local community) before deciding whether to waste energy trying to engage in a thoughtful conversation.
4chan screenshots being reported is pretty opinionated (the rationale being that it’s not about the content itself, it’s about the normalization of 4chan and the enablement of the alt-right pipeline it provides), but hopefully it’s at least optional?
It’s much better at federation than Lemmy.
Do you have an example or source for what this means? Like is it faster/more efficient to propagate things, more featureful in what it federates, etc.?
Yeah my import also took a few minutes and then errored out, but it did end up making some progress on my subscribed communities. I tried it a couple more times and then ended up adding the last few subscribed communities over. I don’t know if retrying it was making incremental progress or whether it was hitting the same error every time. It looks like my blocked communities didn’t come over at all though.
Edit: On closer inspection almost all of my blocked communities don’t even exist on Piefed.ca yet, so that’s an interesting wrinkle. I guess I’ll have to wait until they pop up again before blocking them? I don’t feel right telling Piefed.ca to start tracking those communities just so I can block them, lol.
I wonder if this opens up any new opportunities for cool Distrobox usecases.
