I’m pretty happy with how #moderation tools for #PieFed are coming along!
Moderators can:
delete & edit anything in community
ban people from community, and unban them.
review reports about content in that community
mark a report as resolved / ignored.
When a report is resolved or ignored, all reports regarding that content are also resolved. So if something receives 150 reports then mods won’t need to click 150 times to resolve all reports. Ignored reports stop all future reports from being accepted.
The person who created the community can appoint other moderators.
Reports federate to and from #Lemmy so if a PieFed user reports some content that came from a Lemmy instance the moderators on the Lemmy instance will be notified about the content being reported.
There’s still more to be done with federation of bans, a moderation log, etc. But it’s shaping up nicely!
Hercules was the brand of graphics card for the IBM PC that was widely used in the 1980s.
It could do two colours - black and whatever colour the monitor was. For my first year I had a green monitor and then an amber one for the next two years.

Pretty kewl, IMO. Thanks for sharing Elley :) it looks really nice and I created an account for myself. Seamless federation with the others too - very nice :)
Have you even tried #Piefed? Piefed.social is:
"A lemmy/kbin clone written in Python with Flask.
-Clean, simple code that is easy to understand and contribute to. No fancy design patterns or algorithms.
-Easy setup, easy to manage - few dependencies and extra software required.
-AGPL.
-First class moderation tools."
It's actually really quite nice, and I don't hear much noise about it. Go give this project a look at https://piefed.social.
Not sure if you noticed but half the #ThreadVerse is memes. They're not my thing but I enjoyed putting together the best meme consumption experience I could.
After reading a massive tome about #ElasticSearch earlier this week I realised it was complete overkill and just used the full-text capabilities of #PostgreSQL instead.
Currently PieFed has 46,000 posts and results are fast. It'll be interesting to see how well it copes when there are more posts. Anyone want to make a guess when it'll bog down?
PieFed is a link sharing platform so every post has a 'url' field. By embedding the post url into the RSS feed entry, we get images in our feed if the posts have images. The example I gave in the earlier toot uses images but it could be anything, including video or audio.
Podcasts are just RSS feeds with audio files. This means #PieFed is also a federated #PodCast platform - every community is also a podcast, if the things you post in the community are just links to mp3 files.
