For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative? (lemmy.world)

I heard about the whole AI moderation thing and I'm trying to move to a new fedispace.

You might also sign up for an instance or two on piefed. The guy who’s mostly responsible for that is also a bit of a twat

If you mean Rimu, I haven't seen any examples of that. Explain?

    Piefed by default auto-subscribes accounts to a curated set of communities, auto-hides downvoted content and downvoted posters, attaches icons to accounts to mark those that have beyond a particular threshold of downvotes and entirely blocks links to a curated set of sites because Rimu deemed them to be unacceptable.

    The only saving grace is that at this point those (anti-)features are generally toggleable at least at the admin level, but that's thanks to wjs018.

    Piefed by default auto-subscribes accounts to a curated set of communities

    When I first signed up, I was given a 'checkbox system' to subscribe to /c's of interest. IIRC I also had the option of signing up for none. That said, if PF auto-subscribes to some core communities (like META, help, Fediverse, etc), then I'm not really seeing a problem?

    auto-hides downvoted content and downvoted posters

    I mean... I see plenty of downvoted content & posters in my subscribed feed. Maybe that's not the case with ALL, tho? TBH, that sounds like SOP in terms of social media.

    attaches icons to accounts to mark those that have beyond a particular threshold of downvotes

    I like it, as that generally helps identify low-effort & toxic posters. I guess I can see the point though that it might accidentally sweep up others, simply because they're challenging or whatnot. On the whole though, I certainly don't have a problem with that little bit of extra info, which I'm free to do with as I please.

    entirely blocks links to a curated set of sites because Rimu deemed them to be unacceptable.

    Yeah. Personally I would have liked to have some access to various NSFW content, as I'm not a child, but then again, PF.S is Rimu's home instance, and as the dev and head admin, I absolutely do not have a problem with him doing that. I mean, if I really wanted to work around that, there are plenty of other PF instances as a base...

    So at the end of the day, you seem to be calling someone a "bit of a twat" based on policy decisions. Someone who's donated loads of his personal time, effort and brainwaves to a community project for loads of others to enjoy. Can't say that sounds particularly cool to me, mate.

    Good summary

    I'm thinking of making a replacement NSFW account a piefed based instance after lemmynsfw died. I just like most of what piefed has quite a bit, especially consolidating similar posts' comments.

    Or maybe I should go back to mbin and find some artists on mastodon/misskey and put in more effort weaning off xitter. Still annoyed that a lot of artists are still on it.

    I saw him recently attacking the dbzero instance. Check this comment and probably this post.

    I tried getting through that mess, but was left even more confused than when I began.

    TL;DR?

    The post I linked (the last link) contains the deleted comment from dbzero admin. And it's basically a TL;DR of the events.

    Edit: Interesting, looks like the comment (and others from that person) aren't displayed on piefed.

    But the person doesn't appear to be banned: https://piefed.social/u/mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone
