That metaphor would be applicable if you could see through the person. Down votes could be implemented in a way which you could just ignore or disable in your client without depriving others of a signal they value.

It’s not a matter of what I choose to see but what everyone using default settings sees and how it affects the way they interact with other users.

As I posted above:

It doesn't need to be tied to a mechanism which reduces visibility.

I support rate-limiting. I also feel that clients should enable their users to configure their own views, and be able to cast their votes as they see fit without any authoritarian push to control what should be their choice.

@rimu on "Tokens used by mobile apps can be set to expire, using the JWT_EXPIRY_DAYS environment variable" let me know if you need any review from an OAuth perspective, happy to try to give info/feedback!

Any update on RSS?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Here are the new rss feeds on the home page:

Ohhhh I was hoping you were adding RSS articles to the PieFed feeds LOL

Oh, right.

There was a Lemmy instance that had lots of communities being populated from RSS feeds, is that still running? I have bot posts hidden so I don't see them...

It was ibbit.at, I believe, but it 404s now ☹️

That's it. I didn't realise it was gone...

Ok, so that opens up a niche for PieFed.

I've wanted to code that feature for years but there's always been a Lemmy instance with a bot that does it. Now that there isn't, that raises the priority of the feature.

Nice! Honestly I've yet to find a good RSS reader. Newsflash is the closest thing but I would prefer a server-side implementation.

Would be really cool to have it baked in along with my PF communities. Bonus if it scrapes content and it can easily cross-post!
