Yes, it’s one of Piefed’s best features

And when you only focus on the edge cases every tool seems insufficient.

About my confidence: you’re not on Piefed, so you don’t experience the system as a user. If you give it a try, I’m quite sure you’ll see it works as intended 80-90% of the time.

And again, if a legit user gets flagged as toxic, there’s no other consequence besides the warning, that doesn’t prevent anything from being seen.

We’re running in circles at this point. I still have to see an example of a false positive for this system, as a nontoxic user being flagged as such.

Oh great, welcome here! 😊 Glad you like it, feel free if you have any questions

Do they have the rights to have Spider-Man in that universe this time?

Thank you!

But I can’t help but note that the system seems intentionally blind to targeted harassment, which can be a source, if not cause, of bad faith accounts. (And likely those need different approaches since those are also niche cases themselves.)

If you mean using puppet accounts to massively downvote someone, that’s also tracked, but with another tool

I gave it a very quick shot, it seems a bit better than Deepl about keeping formal/informal forms (e.g. polite “you” in Romance languages)

Great !

Interesting

Thanks for sharing

Let’s see how it goes.

Same for [email protected]

People tend to underestimate how much work it takes to keep a community active

Themes are great indeed!

So with that example: what do the flags do that the content of their posts don’t already communicate?

It warns other users that this commenter may be a bad faith user / troll.

Usually when I encounter a troll, I check their profile to see if they are indeed a troll. The warning saves some time on that, and is accurate the vast majority of the time.

Piefed system doesn’t punish those who do not act “the way the creator wants”.

Downvotes given are only actions from the user, no interaction from the Piefed dev.

Downvotes received is feedback from other users, no interaction from the Piefed dev either.

allowing them to do the worst parts of reddit in the fediverse.

Trolls are already around, as you pointed out in another comment. I would rather have a tool that works 80% of the time to detect trolls than no tools at all.

Would discard a tool that identifies 90% of trolls just because it doesn’t reach 100% accuracy?

That person doesn’t seem to know

it’s an Israeli supremists instance.

Wait, what?

Piefed.social literally had the Palestine flag as a logo a few weeks ago

Thank you for posting!
