Good work! Much thanks to all contributors, you are appreciated. The site is running smooth and looking great.
Just upvoted myself but nobody else knows 🤫
Edit: Actually I forgot to toggle the setting before voting on my own comment, so admins will see my @imaqtpie@piefed.social account upvoted the parent comment. Worth noting that it needs to be manually enabled.
Then I turned the setting on and voted on a bunch of other comments in this post. My anonymized voting account appears as @hED5TzoZomb@piefed.social, admins should be able to see it by checking the votes in this thread.
Point being, you can still track serial downvoters and harassment just as easily. But now you will need to take an extra step and message the instance admin (Rimu) and ask that they either reveal the identity of the linked profile or deal with it themselves. And that’s a good thing, imho.
Just trying Piefed for the first time today. Seems really nice, good work devs! The fediverse can definitely benefit from more options being available besides just Lemmy and kbin. I really like the decision to go with Python to make it easier for people to contribute to the project.
Shout out to Sublinks and Lotide as well. I have not tried those yet but as I said, it’s nice to have options.
Ok great, that makes sense. The post was on a lemmy.world community, which is a trusted instance.
I’m not too worried about private voting either, I was just trying to boost my own post and I happened to notice this behavior. I see it as more of a demonstration of the technical possibilities of how federation can be handled than a critical feature. Good to know that things are working as intended.
