Dbzero Governance Vote Post https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/63525728
Ahoy mateys!
A few of our users have recently pointed out that a lot of the pro-Zionist accounts on the fediverse nowadays seem to come from the feddit.org instance.
But whatever the excuse happens to be, they need to do better imo. Israel is currently the most violent, fascist and genocidal nation state in the Middle East (if you exclude the US military bases there). And yet feddit.org seems to regard the Palestinians fighting against Israel’s ongoing illegal occupation of their land as the real terrorists. …
More context
Our instance already voted to ban pro-Zionist accounts (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/60585441 for reference) and the rule that was implemented is here: Golden Rule #8.
As further context, you can find relevant comments and discussion in this post by a banned feddit admin in MoG (that fact they chose to post in MoG is in itself quite telling), and this post about their defederation from quokk.au over anti-semitism allegations has recently become active again. …
Note 2: If you think feddit.org deserves a full instance ban instead, or have alternative suggestions, then please leave your comments below. If enough people think that’s the better option, then we’ll do that instead.
In the end the Post had around 70% of support by dbzer0 users, who in the comments also called for defederation.
Here is a Link to Dbzer0 instances tab https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/instances where if you go to blocked instances you can see fedddit.org is now defederated
i dont think feddit has made a post now, but when they do i will add it
No they use something else for that, ie limit what new accounts can do.
The credit score is just doing things the dev doesn’t like/shouldn’t be done

There’s nothing in that post about ❝credit scores.❞ Karma is what threadiverse uses to evaluate posts, comments, communties, and accounts.
There is attitude and reputation

Yeah, did you not read why? How else do you want piefed to mitigate onetime spam accounts to sibyl downvote comments?
Do you read because that’s unrelated to their spam protections.
The scores are for activities the dev doesn’t like not for spam blocking.
Again: how would you mitigate against mass onetime accounts meant to downvote specific comments fascists have been using to silence others?
Because piefed believes monitoring the “attitude” of an account and “repudiating” it are the temporary measures for this behavior.
Lemmy just let’s occur, wilfully aware it persists.
By not making a system that helps continue that exact behavior with a system that pushes people for being downvoted that exact way or don’t interact with posts how the dev wants.
The functionality is exact opposite of what you want. It’s empowering mass downvoting to silence others because that’s how the system is designed.
Again it’s not that’s the guiding principle listed for how they want to have spaces and users behave.
And was your link to lemmy issues supposed to show something other than recent issues unrelated to the behavior?
It most certainly is.
