Googles knows a LOT more about you than what you watch on YouTube.

That’s it, yep.

With so many votes being cast and such a huge pile of old votes from the past, recalculating the total each time would be a lot of overhead. Also we don’t need total accuracy anyway.

piefed.social now has a Zulip server too although the Matrix rooms are still open. Seems like the tide is going out on Matrix though.

Everyone had figured out that Trump is bluffing.

Also Terrorgram.

If that’s been their goal for decades then there would be something written down to that effect. Policy statements, press releases, meeting minutes… Got anything?

Some admins really love watching who votes for what and banning people based on that.

You can disagree with that if you like but if it means they get pissed enough to defederate your whole instance, you lose.

If your instance is just you and a handful of others, no one will notice or care. But once you have 1000 users the amount of anonymous votes will be noticed and there will be consequences. Maybe not defederation but everyone banned for upvoting bigoted content or vote manipulation will migrate to your instance and you’ll be hosting the biggest shitbirds around.

I don’t see a solution to this. As long as admins snoop on people’s votes that will be the dynamic and PieFed puts itself at a disadvantage by doing anything different.

Cheers :)

This only effects about 3.5% of accounts.

The -10 can be changed in your settings. Set it to -1000 to show everything :)

That’s how it used to work but I got rid of it because there were too many unintended side-effects. Now a private vote is just one that is not federated.

Private votes are just normal votes except without the federation. So their effect is only felt on the local instance.

I wrote that code. It can be turned off or on by the instance admin. When an instance is created It’s off by default.

Originally, when I wrote the feature comparison page, it could not be turned off.

PieFed will have this in version 1.2

Because I haven’t updated that page in about a year.

There’s been soooo many new features since then but I have a hard time knowing what people new to PieFed really need to know about…

I’ve used it in the past, it’s great.

Generally you get what you pay for. A paid course will have a proper progression and structure and while you can find the same into on YouTube it’ll be scattered and disjointed, making it kinda aimless.

It’s on the 3 dot menu on every post.

Makes sense to have it on the community too, tho. I’ll find a place for it.

Imagine a junior dev called “Big Balls” starting up Claude Code and telling it “Hey I need you to make this app great, remove all unnecessary code” and then just accepting whatever it proposes. This is an app with no unit tests, no dev environment, running in production, and if it crashes people die in concentration camps.

Literally vibe coding a country.
