a vision towards atmosphere and quality

Yes, it does, that's why I've put the emphasis I have on blocking and moderation features. Some of my ideas, like filtering out comments that just say "This", later proved to be kinda oppressive in some people's eyes so there's a difficult balancing act there when we start to do social engineering. As if the technical engineering wasn't hard enough already.

It might be interesting to tweak the 'Hot' algo to boost posts where the OP is involved in the discussion on the post...

Ah so that's why we have that setting how it is. Good to know.

I've changed it back now. We'll need something smarter for the bold words issue.

But usage is not going downwards. Check these stats out: https://fediverse.observer/stats

MAU has been steady at 1.1 million since this time last year.

Within the fediverse there are some platforms that are losing ground and some that are growing.

Unrelated but sorta: there's also these errors in the console, because Cloudflare is trying to inject a bunch of analytics and tracking which PieFed's CSP is blocking:

Jerry your Cloudflare is getting in the way. When I go to feddit.online and run this JS in my browser dev tools I get a 403 and a bunch of gibberish from Cloudflare in my console:

fetch('/api/alpha/user/login', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    username: 'testuser',
    password: 'secretpassword'
  })
})
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(text => {
    console.log('Raw response:', text);
    try {
      const json = JSON.parse(text);
      console.log('Parsed JSON:', json);
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Failed to parse JSON:', err);
    }
  })
  .catch(error => console.error('Fetch error:', error));

Changes to 'private' voting are live, please check your settings (piefed.social)
submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Votes are no longer using an alt profile so instead you now have the choice of federating your votes or not. Please go to https://piefed.social/user/settings and see the 'Federate votes' checkbox. It should be showing the opposite of what you had for the 'Vote privately' checkbox that was there before, however the behavior and tradeoffs are really quite different so you might want to revisit that decision.

Whatever you choose there, you can still override that on a case-by-case basis by holding down your mouse button on the voting controls ("long press" on a touch device) of a post/comment.

If this is all news to you, please see https://piefed.social/post/979325 and https://piefed.social/post/956572

PieFed feature idea: AI content filter (piefed.social)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
26 comments fedilink

A way for people to screen out AI generated content, similar how people can screen out nsfw content already.

It works the same as the nsfw filter except underneath it's an integer instead of a Boolean.

Content authors will flag their content as AI-generated, on a sliding scale from 0 (no AI) to 100 (completely AI generated. Intermediate values could be used too although this amount of nuance may be confusing for some.

Users will be able to set a "AI generated threshold" which filters out content above that threshold. At the UI level this could be presented as a checkbox but maybe a slider would be good.

Mods need to be able to set the AI level on content, as they do now with NSFW content.

Communities will have an AI-gen value too, which is automatically applied to all content within. Instance admins can override this value too, for local or remote communities.

Thoughts?

Your feedback on changes to private voting, please (peertube.wtf)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Due to difficulties making private voting a viable reality , we've been playing around with an alternative approach: public/private votes becomes "federated votes" where you can choose whether to send your vote off to other instances or whether it only counts locally and doesn't get federated.

There are obvious drawbacks to casting a vote that doesn't federate. But this avoids all the issues with which instances to trust (and who decides that) and avoids the distrust generated by all these sockpuppets with weird names running around and the need to explain in difficult technical detail why we're doing that, no it's not vote manipulation, don't ban / defederate us, etc etc

The video shows how the user interface could work. Basically there is a setting in your profile that determines whether your votes federate and an optional override you can use on a case-by-case basis.

There is an assumption here that people will generally choose one mode (public or private) and stick with that for most of their votes. The popup will only be used rarely so the extra clicks and the waiting involved won't be much of an issue.

Thoughts?

PieFed has a chat room now, at https://chat.piefed.social/

We're using Zulip for this, which is an interesting combination of forum / chat room with strong support for threaded discussions.

You can use your piefed.social login with chat.piefed.social, BUT you need to use your email address instead of your user name. Use the same password.

The login details used by chat.piefed.social are synced with piefed.social when you log in to piefed.social or when you set a new password in your settings so if you haven't done either of those recently then log out of piefed.social and log back in.

You can also just make an account at https://chat.piefed.social/register/ if you don't have a piefed.social account.

This chat.piefed.social does not replace our Matrix rooms, it is an additional option for those who don't use Matrix.

PieFed 1.0 is released - dev update (media.piefed.social)

See the install instructions to get the latest release. Switch to the "v1.0.x" git branch to run this release rather than the latest code.

Existing instances:

git pull  
git checkout v1.0.0  
./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

PieFed usage has been growing very fast lately, with many communities moving to piefed.social from lemm.ee and several new instances such as piefed.ca, piefed.blahaj.zone, and more .

With this increased attention a light has been shone on many previously ignored parts of PieFed so we've been hard at work closing the gaps and incorporating new ideas from new people. Also it has become necessary to begin doing proper releases so instances have a more stable place to park themselves without being exposed to the constant turmoil that comes from running bleeding-edge code in production.

Due to feedback from a wider audience than before, some of the idiosyncratic features that I built because of my personal obsessions have been made optional and OFF by default, such as the 4chan meme filter, meme communities being flagged as 'low quality' and so on. Private voting has fundamental issues and could be removed soon, I'll make a separate post about that.

The API is now in use and the mobile app Interstellar works with it well. Other apps are working on PieFed compatibility too. Again a lot of work went in there to get it ready for prime time.

To sum up - leading up to this release the last few weeks have showed intensive development with major focus on performance optimization, UI/UX improvements and enhanced federation capabilities. We made significant progress on API development, moderation tools, and overall platform stability.

Below is an incomplete list of some things we've worked on in June. Sorry to those whose work I overlooked, it's been a deluge.
