How do I increase reputation?
-
I want to message people but it says that I don't have enough reputation.
The karma-to-post system was horrid on reddit and made it nearly impossible to get into reddit as a new user. I really hope it doesn't come to the fediverse...

Oh god. It’s Reddit all over again.

Is the reputation filter a built-in part of Piefed or is instead specific to the host instances which opt into it? It seems like the function is getting a lukewarm reception, but I don’t know if it will ultimately be for the better or the worse to have it.

You can always just move to another instance

Maybe it's just upvote thing. Maybe keep using it and it naturally won't matter. At least you guys won't have a nicole there.
Haven’t heard from Nicole in a very long time. I hope she’s fine

Fediverse is so lonely without her

I forgot that person (or bot) even existed, just block the account. That’s what I did.

The reputation/karma is not shown to the public anywhere in the UI, only admins can see it.

ohh, I can't see their instance on voyager unless I click on their profile. curious, this is the second policy I've seen piefed borrow from post-2023 reddit. is that kind of their goal?
The goal, which is already achieved, is to create a better experience than Lemmy offers and with none of the support for genocide denial.
Or do you want users to be able to make new accounts/bots to spam PM's? I honestly see zero benefit to not blocking PM's until they post a bit.

wrote last edited by [email protected]it's valid in its intent, having my run in with the people you're describing sucked. I just saw karma checks taken to some pretty ugly places on reddit before I ghosted out of there. In my encounters with genocide deniers here, the problematic aspect I saw was a mod team interfering with the comments and deleting responses. r/conservative on reddit does the same thing to keep their userbase trimmed down to only the most vocal and loyal christofascists.
I kind of want to be on a website where people with admin priveledges are being held at least a little more accountable than regular users. but that's probably just my damage talking. I can pretty assuredly say that actually real botting on fediverse is pretty inadequate since every user has to be manually approved and write a cover letter for many instances. the hoards of genocide deniers you see are probably actual living CCP citizens engaging in a documented cultural passtime

I wasn’t aware that existed here?
It's not a thing on Lemmy, but it is on piefed.

I think it has its place as a spam reduction measure as long as it’s used judiciously. The problem is that Reddit never properly handled the problem and didn’t have much incentive to implement a good solution.

Ok, but can it be disabled by the instance?

Voyager has the option to show instances after usernames.

Be good.
