Nice post

It is really nice indeed

Haters gonna hate.

Thank you for Blorp, it’s a great app!

Sorry for the negativity you received. You do a great job! Some people are going to be toxic and aggressive. That’s sad to see.

Great news !

Business as usual on

Thank you for posting here

Thank you!

I am, hope you too!

And when you only focus on the edge cases every tool seems insufficient.

About my confidence: you’re not on Piefed, so you don’t experience the system as a user. If you give it a try, I’m quite sure you’ll see it works as intended 80-90% of the time.

And again, if a legit user gets flagged as toxic, there’s no other consequence besides the warning, that doesn’t prevent anything from being seen.

We’re running in circles at this point. I still have to see an example of a false positive for this system, as a nontoxic user being flagged as such.

Oh great, welcome here! 😊 Glad you like it, feel free if you have any questions

Thank you!

But I can’t help but note that the system seems intentionally blind to targeted harassment, which can be a source, if not cause, of bad faith accounts. (And likely those need different approaches since those are also niche cases themselves.)

If you mean using puppet accounts to massively downvote someone, that’s also tracked, but with another tool

Great !

Thanks for sharing

Let’s see how it goes.

!madeineurope@lemmy.zip was created recently and the most recent post is a month old

Same for !buyfromeu@europe.pub

People tend to underestimate how much work it takes to keep a community active

So with that example: what do the flags do that the content of their posts don’t already communicate?

It warns other users that this commenter may be a bad faith user / troll.

Usually when I encounter a troll, I check their profile to see if they are indeed a troll. The warning saves some time on that, and is accurate the vast majority of the time.

Piefed system doesn’t punish those who do not act “the way the creator wants”.

Downvotes given are only actions from the user, no interaction from the Piefed dev.

Downvotes received is feedback from other users, no interaction from the Piefed dev either.

allowing them to do the worst parts of reddit in the fediverse.

Trolls are already around, as you pointed out in another comment. I would rather have a tool that works 80% of the time to detect trolls than no tools at all.
