I'm super impressed by the features I'm discovering using Piefed! I'm going to be experimenting a lot with the keyword filter particularly. Here are some ideas we might add to make Piefed even better. Share you own in the replies.

Some of these options where too long to make it a poll.

Bring back pseudonymous voting agents. Literally the killer feature of piefed, killed by stupid forum politics.

I do not give a single goddamn fuck about brigading or vote manipulation whatever nonsense the fediverse admin cabal has convinced themselves matters on their discord stovepipe. Vites are not real. They cannot hurt you. I do not want my plaintext voting activity to be hoovered up by anyone listening to the activitypub feeds, which is already used to foster censorship and will inevitably be used to enable targeted astroturfing. Rimu, please be more brave about this.

Mark my words, this will be the "hindsight" issue a few years from now. "How the fuck did anyone think public voting was a good idea" will be the postmortem of the fediverse.

Hmm. In a sense, votes aren't real, but if that's true, then why do they exist at all?

And if you don't like that your votes are public, then perhaps simply don't vote, since the votes aren't real anyway?
