This (along with basically all instances with communick news behind them) is a classic example of scaling up prematurely.

When this community is brimming with so much content that users start to “miss” posts about [thing x] because there are so many posts about [thing y], then you make offshoot communities, not before.

lol yeah, that’ll do it.

Using the template syntax you can start by copy/pasting the site to be migrated, and then inject sections that render using markdown syntax.

What templating languages do you know already, and are you running 11ty v3? There are some gotchas around images because (I think) the eleventy-image plugin is enabled by default.

I’ve found success running with .webc which is effectively HTML until you need it to be more.

Shout out to my fellow “None Backup Strategies” chaos goblins.

Scolded me for swearing at it.

“You’ll fucking know when I’m swearing at you,” was my reply to that shit the last time I gave it a spin (after it regurgitated nonsense after many prompts specifically asking for not nonsense).

Repokémon is an amazing name.

Donphan is legit, too.

This person couldn’t be bothered to search “Phanpy Mastodon” to learn more, literally everything is non-trivial to them. They probably have to remember to breathe.

Let me Google that for you.

Wow, decisions were made with those new fonts. 😬

Amazon SES is dirt cheap, billed per-send, you just need to bring the Everything Else with something like Mailcoach or Sendy.

Isn’t that what mbin is?

Ah fuck! I mistook the piefed docs for the pixelfed docs.

I swear there was documentation there.

No, the utility is to remove bad users.

I think you’re conflating my two separate concerns. One’s automated vote manipulation. The other is targeted harassment.

Looks like it’s kinda hard to spin up a piefed bot. Not impossible, but it’s a bitch without an API.

If I have an insightful contributer who’s going out of their way and outside of their normal communities to be a dick to another user, maybe they’re not so insightful after all. Or they’ve got a great reason!

Either way, I want to be able to point to their behavior - without the extra step of having to de-anonymize their activity - and tell them to chill the fuck out or get the fuck out. Out means out. Totally and forever.

mods are just as capable of manipulation and targeted harassment when they can curate the voting and react based on votes

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

I’m speaking as an admin, not as a mod. I own the servers. I have direct access to the databases. When law enforcement comes a’knockin’, it’s my ass that gets arrested. I have total control over my instances and can completely sever them from the fediverse if I feel it necessary. Mods are mall cops that can lock posts and deal with problem users one at a time.

On reddit, votes are only visible to the admins, and the admins would take care of this type of thing when they saw it (or it tripped some kind of automated something or other)

There are no built in automations. Decoupling votes from the users that cast them interferes with my ability to “take care of this type of thing.”

Wow your documentation is so much better than ours.
