      piefed has an opinionated dev reimplementing karma and filters for content they don’t like right into the application

        I was thinking of giving piefed a shot. Any further reading on this?

        Edit: Why on earth is this so downvoted? I was thinking of switching from mbin to piefed, saw this, and asked for elaboration. FFS.

          I don’t think there’s a writeup, but I can search for explanations later, I’m kind of on the go rn. These filters are technically optional, it’s just another piece of trust you have to hand over to your instance admin and hope they don’t turn them on. Also you have to trust that these optional filters are the only ones, and that there won’t be any hidden filters.

          If you wanna give it a shot then by all means go ahead, but I personally feel very uneasy knowing these exist and the dev is willing to implement algorithms to punish people who post “bad content” in their eyes

            Lemmy also has filters, you have to have the same ‘trust’ that admins don’t add words to them.
