This only effects about 3.5% of accounts.

The -10 can be changed in your settings. Set it to -1000 to show everything :)

That's how it used to work but I got rid of it because there were too many unintended side-effects. Now a private vote is just one that is not federated.

Private votes are just normal votes except without the federation. So their effect is only felt on the local instance.

I wrote that code. It can be turned off or on by the instance admin. When an instance is created It's off by default.

Originally, when I wrote the feature comparison page, it could not be turned off.

PieFed will have this in version 1.2

Because I haven't updated that page in about a year.

There's been soooo many new features since then but I have a hard time knowing what people new to PieFed really need to know about...

I've used it in the past, it's great.

Generally you get what you pay for. A paid course will have a proper progression and structure and while you can find the same into on YouTube it'll be scattered and disjointed, making it kinda aimless.

It's on the 3 dot menu on every post.

Makes sense to have it on the community too, tho. I'll find a place for it.

Imagine a junior dev called "Big Balls" starting up Claude Code and telling it "Hey I need you to make this app great, remove all unnecessary code" and then just accepting whatever it proposes. This is an app with no unit tests, no dev environment, running in production, and if it crashes people die in concentration camps.

Literally vibe coding a country.

If only it was that easy. Check out these examples of what Voyager does: https://vger.social/comment/8605586

Done!

I really need help with anubis. I can get it to block but not in such a way that also allows API access and federation and web clients like blorpblorp.

Anyway I only need to turn anubis on for 10 minutes and all the scrapers go away for days. They really really hate it!

Yes, I've been trying to make anubis work for a while. It's tricky to get right.

Here is an early experiment - https://join.piefed.social/2025/07/09/an-anubis-config-for-piefed/

No, admins designate it.

Most instances do not use this feature, afaik. piefed.social does but most of the others do not.

This is a temporary measure to reduce load on the server from AI scrapers.

Yeah just until the latest scraper wave goes away.

Yes when a comment is locked all it's children are locked too.

Make love not war
