3·30 days agoPretty easy for me as I tend to not comment too much other than about development issues and bug reports. So, I usually have my user flair set to PieFed Contributor or something along those lines.
The reputation score (sum of upvotes - downvotes) is something that only admins can see. I absolutely agree with a lot of the criticisms people have with reputations systems like this or reddit’s karma, but at the same time, it is one of the most reliable and highest signal to noise indicators of spam/scam/etc. accounts out there. If we were to remove it entirely, it would take away a powerful tool for flagging accounts like that to admins earlier rather than later. Oftentimes, we can spot accounts like that even before they get reported by other users because users are much more likely to downvote/block than go through the trouble of creating a report.
To address your other reply in the same place, ngrok is not affiliated with X’s (twitter’s) Grok. ngrok is a service that provides https tunneling much easier than manually managing domains. Developers often use this for proof-of-concept stuff or testing features that need SSL because ngrok addresses can be created and destroyed easier and quicker than manually managing your own dns.
In actuality, I didn’t even realize that ngrok was a sponsor. Or, was a sponsor at some point. Is this still accurate @rimu@piefed.social?
as long as we don’t devolve into tribalism and attacks between the two that deter new users
Some people seem to find this hard. I might be one of the PieFed devs, but there are certainly reasons that people might want to use lemmy instead and I think they do some things better. No one platform is going to be the best.

There are plenty of other communities out there for specific pieces of media, if you are looking for those as well. Some of the more active ones I am aware of:
