  • While increasing the impact of blocks could diminish the risk of harassment, it could also have the opposite effect of preventing users from responding to comments made about them by users who’ve blocked them.

    While I personally think manual moderation is a better solution, if a system that blocks users in this manner is implemented, then there should also be an optional toggle for users to hide posts by users who’ve blocked them to avoid having posts that can’t be interacted with in one’s feed.

    And while I can see the benefits of preventing potential spam from new accounts, it could also discourage new users from staying on if they are immediately limited in what they can share on the platform; Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin don’t have enough users as it is to be risking losing anyone.

    In terms of the other features, I think the addition of pronouns will help Piefed distinguish itself from Reddit by fostering inclusivity.


    • Auto-delete of replies on remote instances when reply author has been blocked by parent content author (only works in PieFed communities due to a ActivityPub limitation)
    • New users can only do 3 posts in their first 24h, to reduce floods of posts by that guy who keeps deleting his accounts and making new ones

    Are these features at least optional on an instance-by-instance basis?

    Edit: Didn’t mean to be negative, just had a couple concerns I clarified in a reply below and thought options could be helpful. I appreciate ongoing improvements to Piefed all the same.
