Why would anyone want read your denial about astrospam mitigations you refuse to provide alternatives for?
Piefed is a tool anyone can use. If you feel mass downvoting with an account is something like social “credit” that piefeed nomenclatures as “attitude,” then I have no idea how users will use that credit, and what for. “Repudiation” is something all threadiverse software mitigates one way or another.
And I am being extremely generous, as it seems you don’t know anything about computer sciences.
