The lemmy.ml instance not being treated the same as the rest of the Triad in regards to defederation
Some highlights from the link:
I am currently working on a report on vote manipulation and the early results are showing clear signs of the some most prolific .ml accounts participating in brigading and vote manipulation.
I can't count the number of times I made a comment way deep in a chain that conflicts with .ml dogma, and after the first downvote, there are suddenly 5 more within minutes
that was so pervasive on reddit, you either get banned, or ended up arguing more and then get banned.
PieFed doesn't have any of these issues
It does, since it still federates with lemmy.ml...
I think the parent comment is talking about piefed the software, compared to Lemmy the software, not the specific
piefed.socialinstance they're posting from.That would explain. But that comment is in answer to the top-level comment about the lemmy.ml instance.
The developers of the Lemmy software are the admins of the lemmy.ml instance and are problematic. The complaint is that the software itself can't be separated from the priorities of the .ml instance.
Piefed doesn't have the same issue, even if the flagship instance federates with .ml
i block the whole instance, so i dont have to deal with any of those posts, but the single .ml accounts can still be problematic.
