I don't see how it's inherently some sort of hugbox, as you claim.
Good for you. But I am thinking at an instance level. Spam is actually a problem on platforms like this.
If Lemmy was to triple in size tomorrow, it's base tools wouldn't be capable of dealing with it.
I just meant purely in terms of admins being able to see it. Whether or not it shows for users is another matter.
Yes, I know. But it's not clear that all of the content there is meant to be specifically telling other owners how they should run their instance.
Didn't say it was a hugbox, said it fosters division.
I don't know whether piefed has less spam or not, and whether that's by volume or percentage, and why. I haven't seen any evidence favoring either platform.
There is no way Lemmy would triple in size in a day. Why would they build for something that would never happen? That's like ordering three pizzas for a party when you only need one.
I still oppose the low-karma feature on moral and ideological grounds. Voting is easily manipulated, so any system based on it is also easily manipulated.
It was clear to me that site was for piefed.
I'm m honestly starting to wonder if the user you have been replying to is an alt of rimu or just a pr account
One post over 2 years ago, then suddenly constant defending of piefed in the last month. Very odd indeed.
Who can also fully understand rimus mind and all intentions
This was (is) my original lemmy.world account.
