Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I’m out, I think.

3 monthsAh, we’ll miss you. Your content is consistently some of the best out here.
The piefed admins are making a huge mistake with this change, and they’re basing it on bad statistical methods. Every user already only gets one vote per post or comment, so it really doesn’t matter if some users exercise that ability more than others. So framing it the same way as wealth disparity (literally using the same kind of chart) was not very insightful.
And to think I was considering switching to piefed soon… guess not anymore…

There is a new rule metering the number of votes that can be cast by a user. You can see yours on your profile.
WHAT?!*
Mate, who the hell cares about minor shizzle like that. Are you serious…?The combination of the irritation (being unable to upvote replies to your own material being particularly grating) and what it suggests about the future of the instance.
I actually planned on continuing to post as-usual (upvoting with alts, annoying as that would be) after I discovered it, but when the reasoning came out I knew it was the canary in the coal mine.
But… it was about a cap for those who chronically abused such…?
Wait, like total votes ever? Like you hit it and you can never vote again?? 😭
Ohhh, that’s way more tolerable! Thanks for letting me know, got worried there lol.
I think it was YouTube back in the day that used to have a max number of total likes per account? After which, it would appear as if liking worked from your end, but it didn’t actually do anything on the backend. I was afraid we had one of those situations.

youtube still has a limit on upvotes, i am pretty sure it’s 5000. once you have 5k they remove your oldest ones.

PugJesus is on an instance (server) called piefed, which is run by complete idiots, who have now decided that each user can only make x upvotes per day. PugJesus is a very active user, and will almost certainly go over that limit. So they’re quitting in protest.
You will not be affected since you are on a different server.
