Milk, cheese and butter.

My country produces 10x more dairy products than we need. But they’re sold to the highest bidder globally and that ain’t me.

Of the 12,730 accounts that were active in the last week, there are 60 with the so-called “low quality” indicator, or 0.4%.

And this is in an environment where people cast 32 times more upvotes than downvotes so to earn that badge you need to be super super completely absolutely unpopular. Consistently.

You’re part of a pretty special group.

Maybe try being less of an asshole? See how that goes for you.

ideologically posed to keep the thing open, for the people, by the people

What. Check out the modlog, they ban more people than anyone.

It’s up to the mods and admins what they do with PieFed’s functions. Anything can be misused, even simple stuff. Like for example lemmy.ml has a description “a community for Foss and privacy enthusiasts” set by the admins and then ridicules and bans anyone who pushes back against the .ml political line on China. Lemmy.ml is not about foss and privacy.

The software feature of having a instance description is innocuous but it’s being used for deception.

The vote quota can be set to whatever the instance admin desires. Just like any other terms of service, it’s up to the admin what they give away for free and under what conditions.

afaik only piefed.zip and multiverse.soulism.net have chosen to increase it, though.
