Hi all,

I was wondering what people think about a piefed instance for SJW? I personally have issues with Lemmy devs and I think their reputation is a massive turnoff for many people looking for alternatives to corporate run social/forum services.

I understand that this instance is community run and resource considerations are probably an issue. No questions about that.

I was more thinking in purely theoretical terms.

It's a much better and feature rich platform for both users and moderators. Piefed is definitely a lot more than a "Threadiverse client where the developers happen to not be tankies."

User facing features:

  • Multi community post comment aggregation
  • User reputation system
  • More granular and sophisticated user-controlled blocking and mute system

Mod/curator features

  • Scheduled posting (really helpful to avoid posting ~3 links within 15 min in a community)

The developers are also a lot more responsive and proactive. I've had several minor features implemented following requests.

I can't comment on the details of its algorithm, but you do get warning badgfor spamm/trash posters. Emphasis on spammy, less so unpopular opinion.
