It's not disturbing. OP has unwittingly found a bug that they were passing off as a gotcha.

Didn’t say it was a hugbox, said it fosters division.

Does it? I don't see how.

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.

Piefed gets the same spam, but Piefed can catch the spammers and report them to Lemmy admins easier. That's what I mean here.

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.

Of course it wouldn't. My point was I am thinking of scale here when looking at these admin tools.

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.

Well public voting on the fediverse mitigates that as people using alts or engaging in brigading can be often caught, are often caught, and community and instance banned for it.

It was clear to me that site was for piefed.

It outlines his philosophy, but he doesn't state he will enforce the same ideology on other instances with some iron fist.

So not “literally.” That’s the point I argued with.

I don't see how it's inherently some sort of hugbox, as you claim.

I browse by subscribed. I support the right for everyone to choose what they see with minimal persuasion. I don’t see this problem, if it exists.

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 can make my own decisions about people without a flag next to their name. I vehemently oppose this feature.

I just meant purely in terms of admins being able to see it. Whether or not it shows for users is another matter.

As I just said: this is the main site for piefed, not just .social:

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.
