It's come out of nowhere. Totally unsolicited. Has his account been compromised?

That sounds very much like my philosophy here.

Still, that's something like five posts a day if you're really doing it all by hand. May I ask if you're posting stuff verbatim or whether you add on to whatever you've found?

I think this is a massive overreach on the part of piefed and actually discourages posting.

You've presumably read the explanations and the fact that Rimu is less than pleased with how this kind of thing works, and is open to better ideas. Still-- it addresses a real, known issue, and let's not forget that hand-built, volunteer-based social media software like this is inevitably going to have growing pains like this. You know?

    i mean five posts per day doesn't sound like a lot to me, you can totally fire that off in an evening

    True. But to average that per day for two whole years is still some dedication.

    Personally, making a post takes me a lot longer. Usually I spend time on a combo of research, upgrading imagery, adding contextual info, and writing a mini-article for my posts. I'm happy to average over one a day, but I understand different people have different methods.

    This is actually my second account, my first instance died. RIP lemmy.tf!

    I don't editorialise titles at all. I scroll through CapyReader, see something I think is worth sharing, open it in Firefox for Android, press share, select Summit, use the autofill for the title and then hope that it gains traction.

    Narrator voice: In most cases it doesn't.

    πŸ₯Ί I genuinely have zero reason to interact with piefed.social. He/his software has come to harass me and now I'm expected to go read the explanation? With all due respect, it's a piefed problem, not a me problem. I've been posting from before piefed even existed. The explanation is akin to devout religious people who take issue with homosexuality making random people in their city prove they're not homosexual because they breathe the same air as them. As I said, it's a massive and weird overreach.

    Well, I know how that works, and good of you to make the effort.

    No, the explanation's right here in this thread. It's been phrased several ways from several people. The link is only if you wanted to see the official announcement.

    And I must say you seem to be taking this extraordinarily hard. To me, if that's the worst thing that happened to you that day, then you've still had a lovely day. I mean it's one bloody message that wasn't phrased well with a real point behind it, as a small step to improving the overall experience here. You really haven't understood that yet?
