Differences between Lemmy and PieFed

• Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.

Is this self-designated?

Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default. Voting is private.

I don't particularly care for these two items. I used to think user-curation was a good thing, but comparing Lemmy to Reddit, I have to say I no longer feel that way. Voting matters less on Lemmy and I think it's better for it, all things considered.

I'm very interested in this. I'm kinda stunned that lemmy doesn't do this natively.

How exactly does the private vote thing work? I thought votes being federated was inherent to the way the fediverse is designed.

People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.

Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.

I think any kind of reputation score should be community specific. There are users whose commenting style fits one community but not another, and their overall reputation should be understood in the context of which communities actually like them rather than some kind of global average.

I'm not able to see any content behind those links or even the root site of https://piefed.social/ without what looks like creating an account and logging in. Is account creation and login required to interact with piefed at all? No anonymous reading?

This might need updating, I think the private voting feature was removed?

Sounds neat

I don't like the fact that users receive a banner next to their name if they get downvoted a lot. This makes other people judge negatively the comment even before reading it. I think it also encourages people to keep downvoting and discourages to upvote (as what happens with mass down votes of a comment on Reddit just for the sake of doing so).

Edit: sorry for my English, it's not my native language + I just woke up
