Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don't know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it's not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I'm being snarky, but that "I'm so mature" bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

I say he is building a worst reddit since he programmed social credit score into it

https://mander.xyz/post/46371251/24881755

Every user (remote or local) has an "attitude" which is calculated as follows: (upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes). If your "attitude" is < 0.0 you can't downvote.

Every account has a Social Credit Score, aka your Reputation. If your account has less than 100 reputation and is newly created, you are not considered "trustworthy" and there are limitations placed on what your account can do. Your reputation is calculated as upvotes earned - downvotes earned aka Reddit Karma. If your reputation is at -10 you also cannot downvote, and you can't create new DMs. It also flags your account automatically if your reputation is to low:

    It also violates basic compatibility with the fediverse. https://communick.news/comment/8015757

    That's a painful comment thread to slog through. Usually technical concerns aren't so clearly demonstrated and explained, and the same mods just derail the topic with astoundingly selective comprehension, just sheer crazymaking.

    Don't forget it tracks comment quality as well. So not only it you post memes but gifs or reddits favorite phrase this

    What does the code look for when deciding if something is low quality? And how do they decide if someone is posting memes specifically? It just feels like it could easily lead to false positives if he did it poorly (or even if he didn't)
