PieFed has offered a full suite of these features for years now, as have some 3rd party apps.

e.g. not only does it offer automatic removal of content (posts or comments) based on downvotes, but it can alternatively collapse it based on a different, more lenient threshold, requiring an additional click to see it.

There are also keyword filters, and what I like most are the visual icons placed next to certain usernames - this does not “filter” their content but does let me see what I am getting into, so that I know e.g. that replying is probably not going to turn out like I may have hoped.

All of the above puts both the control and also the responsibility into the hands of the end-user, without requiring that a mod team constantly do extra work for other people. Which among other things will necessarily involve a delay before community rules can be applied.



What does not kill them makes them stronger? 😎



Not all desperate people for sure, and not all will be so red-pilled, but as a trend, the many people currently signing up - and who qualify - will tend to be more of both than average in the population.


Here is this post viewed from PieFed.zip, a different instance from the one that I added my PieFed icon emoji reaction from, which renders it just fine. Maybe some of the more custom emojis might not transfer, I do not recall those details, but the basic ones work perfectly from any compatible client?


Yup, we all better switch back to Windoze fo sho, can’t have extra features or choices that the herd does not approve of - if not everyone is willing to switch, then nobody is allowed to! /s

Btw I just added an emoji reaction to the comment I was replying to. A Lemmy account, in a Lemmy community. Anyone who is using a compatible client can view it - e.g. I confirmed using Firefox on Android from a couple different PieFed instances, like here is this post viewed from PieFed.zip.


Use the same username+icon and people won’t even realize that you’ve switched:-).


We don’t know the physical status of the OC meme creator tho…




Intermittent reinforcement conditioning is literally the most powerful there is.

People who are not aware of their biases are mastered by them.

Stay curious folks!


these wounds they will not heal… 🎶🎵


FYI, PieFed has emoji reactions…

The more desperate someone is - and also red-pilled - the more likely that they will accept working under those, or any, conditions.


Not true! I detect one singular braincell. 🧠


Personally I am more concerned with the ones not yet made, as the known ones are already blocked. :-|


Wait… but the current one is still going on though!?!? (The 3rd one this fiscal year I mean, since October 2025)


I have been promised this before, but all I ever see is TODAY?
