    So not “literally.” That’s the point I argued with.

    I don’t see how it’s inherently some sort of hugbox, as you claim.

    I browse by subscribed. I support the right for everyone to choose what they see with minimal persuasion. I don’t see this problem, if it exists.

    Good for you. But I am thinking at an instance level. Spam is actually a problem on platforms like this.

    If Lemmy was to triple in size tomorrow, it’s base tools wouldn’t be capable of dealing with it.

    I can make my own decisions about people without a flag next to their name. I vehemently oppose this feature.

    I just meant purely in terms of admins being able to see it. Whether or not it shows for users is another matter.

    As I just said: this is the main site for piefed, not just .social:

    Yes, I know. But it’s not clear that all of the content there is meant to be specifically telling other owners how they should run their instance.

      Didn’t say it was a hugbox, said it fosters division.

      I don’t know whether piefed has less spam or not, and whether that’s by volume or percentage, and why. I haven’t seen any evidence favoring either platform.

      There is no way Lemmy would triple in size in a day. Why would they build for something that would never happen? That’s like ordering three pizzas for a party when you only need one.

      I still oppose the low-karma feature on moral and ideological grounds. Voting is easily manipulated, so any system based on it is also easily manipulated.

      It was clear to me that site was for piefed.
