    Be mindful of your karma score

    There is an option in your settings so you don’t see upvotes or downvotes.

    None of these imaginary points matter.

    (Lemmy is rad)

    I beg you to please block and downvote me. Please. It is all I want. Even if you agree with me. Pretty please?

      The comment is about PieFed, whose developer is the kind of person who posts on thought policing communities like Meanwhile On Grad, globally tracks your score and restricts your account. It also has some features to drop messages that seem like a good idea but will certainly be used by a coordinated liberal order to silence leftists.

      “Asking for representation is a purity test and you should feel bad for thinking of it. Your vote is simultaneously not worth consideration but also if you (the person entirely unrepresented by the electoral system) dont vote for people who don’t represent you at all, worse people will be elected and its entirely 100% your fault! No we will not change the voting system to allow more then two parties to exist without a spoiler effect. Yes we will howl every election about the spoiler effect we refuse to fix, even in deep blue states. Fuck you. Fuck you forever. I hate you and i hope you and your people die. Now vote for who I want and smile really big and pretend this is a democracy!”

      Did I miss any talking points blue conservatives? See yall during the midterms should they happen.

      Marxism is scientific truth and fears no criticism. If it did, and if it could be overthrown by criticism, it would be worthless. In fact, aren’t the idealists criticizing Marxism every day and in every way? And those who harbour bourgeois and petty-bourgeois ideas and do not wish to change — aren’t they also criticizing Marxism in every way? Marxists should not be afraid of criticism from any quarter. Quite the contrary, they need to temper and develop themselves and win new positions in the teeth of criticism and in the storm and stress of struggle. Fighting against wrong ideas is like being vaccinated — a man develops greater immunity from disease as a result of vaccination. − Mao

    Is this referencing something that happened recently? What’s the logo on the face? I don’t know it.

        Thanks for clarifying.

        At a glance, I don’t see a problem. Isn’t social media already a system for rating social credit?

        I think the problem with social credit scores is when they’re mandatory and can limit things like housing access. Filtering posts on opt-in social networks just sounds like a reasonable tool for moderating decentralized platforms.

          Yes and no. There’s a difference between having a centralized/agglomerated/global score (e.g. karma on Reddit) and having individual posts/comments ranked. The consequences of said centralized ranking being decided in an opaque manner by a reactionary dev.

          think the problem with social credit scores is when they’re mandatory and can limit things like housing access.

          Yes I agree FICO score is fucked up

          Filtering posts on opt-in social networks just sounds like a reasonable tool for moderating decentralized platforms.

          So is having a community driven mod team, which is having that power not centralized by a (group) of devs across multiple decentralized instances.

          To quote @RiverRock@lemmy.ml:

          I mean most cults have voluntary membership too, it doesn’t make the techniques of social control they employ any less harmful

        The things he’s complaining about all seem like good features for a group with voluntary membership. Its only when membership is compulsory that those kinds of things become bad.

          Only that the implementation of the “good features” is also laughable and nothing that moderation wasn’t able to solve

    Because on Lemmy we never have comments/posts removed or users blocked because mods disagree with them /s

      No on PieFed you only have your comments shadow hidden by a user blocking you for making them uncomfortable for calling out their liberalism/racism/fascism.

      You don’t have a fucking leg to stand on here you piece of shit.

      It’s one thing to have reactionary, bigotry and imperial propaganda removed and have a reason provided and it’s another to poorly implement a social credit score into your frontend and never have a clue in the first place. Why don’t they just go back to reddit where you have that already instead of reinventing the wheel?

        Because piefed is decentralized, open-source and non-profit.

          PieFed was created explicitly because the people that made it were uncomfortable working with communist devs. They actively develop a competing platform that smells like it was cooked up by feds to silence dissenting voices. People like you that keep pushing this line defending the extremely egregious actions of the PieFed devs makes you very suspect.

          PieFed is literally the opposite of decentralized by including baked in blockage of the original developers of the platform they are building off of. You are actively using the work of communists to do anti-communist fed shit. You should be ashamed of yourself.

          you know what else is nonprofit and “decentralized”? OSINT and the fucking NEDa and USAID which are CIA cutouts.

          is everything that Lemmy is already

          So then why redo the features that a centralized, closed-sources and for profit shit hole has? Sounds pretty authoritarian to me to do that and not trust a community mod team

          Also this seems relevant to undersrand those fed libs:
