RFK Jr dropped out so he couldn’t really have any voters, and Democrats and Republicans aren’t third parties. Not sure who you’re thinking of. I was talking about people like Jill Stein who tried to stop anyone genocidal from getting elected

People voting third party in states without ranked choice voting are arguably even more impactful 🔥

Working to stop the perpetrators isn’t enabling them. You’re getting things completely mixed up.

My state has ranked choice voting btw

Amazing how you can shift blame from perpetrators to people who focus their lives on stopping the perpetrators of the shit you’re blaming them for

Redditors also get mad at me for saying I don’t file taxes, and meanwhile I still can’t avoid sales taxes and inflation paying for this stuff anyway

Rephrased that part but more in the direction of removing any clinical connotations, hope that’s good

No, I felt pressured not to use the check box by others in this thread

As far as dealing with the sheer volume of people, there are a couple things that would help

Automation - I think you could go surprisingly far with simple tools like “block all voters who upvote post x” or “block all voters who downvote post y” or “block all voters who upvote post x AND downvote post y”

Collective effort - like how Bluesky handles mute lists and stuff, people could co-manage lists of voters who fall into certain patterns, but this might encourage weird cult stuff so it’s better to see if individualized tools can be enough first

Still no idea if/how I’ll pull it off though. If I live long enough, I can finish any unfinished ideas, but life is dangerous sadly

I appreciate the reply. I hope piefed continues to grow and overtakes reddit’s usefulness for me again someday, as it potentially can.

So I blame them for that the same way I blame McDonald’s workers who file taxes

But if the McDonald’s guy buys his own burrito stand and starts price gouging suddenly everyone blames him, not just me, but most of them still don’t care that he files taxes? In which case why would it even be a problem for him to make money?

Doesn’t seem to make sense

People have indicated they’ll take it as validation of some cultish toxic mindset that seems to be forming

Copying and pasting without reading doesn’t achieve the same goal as reading

Stopped reading when you seemed to imply either there’s some widely accepted cultural rule that it’s OK to gaslight someone and lie to them as long as you disagree with them, or the people I accused of lying and gaslighting didn’t actually do it, but merely disagreed with me and did nothing else

I guess what I’m trying to say is, I don’t care if I get charged more than someone who has less money than me when it reflects an underlying issue of not enough for everyone of whatever I’m buying

I’m not a coder, but if nobody else does it before some kind of chat bot or AI, that stuff will end up getting it done in the end

Not sure what you’re trying to say but cost of living will continue to increase due to continued reliance on the continually depleting crude oil supply

I feel like it was quite generous of me to read this, and I gained nothing from it. Not seeing the threshold met to read the other comment

That gives them no chance to put statements on the line for accountability either

I’m thinking we might need a new fediverse app to properly integrate this vote filtering functionality, or some future nostr app

Someone said running a piefed instance lets you see who’s voting on content, so if true, the data is there to make it easy for a fediverse app to do this

Was that the intended goal or a side effect? Are you saying team PieFed are fundamentally hostile to this area of improvement?
