So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

PieFed all the way. It’s developing at lightning speed, while Lemmy lags behind as the transphobic genocide denying devs beg for donations with in built donation begging banners on all Lemmy instances front pages. Instances are apparently scared to defed from .ml for fear the devs wont support them with help.

Rimu has made some interesting choices, such as blocking 196 from default federating posts until a user subs first or a dislike for meme subs. But when spoken to has been receptive and removed such things or made them optional for admins.

Ethically and feature wise PieFed is in the lead, its not perfect but its open to change and receptive to ideas

  • transphobic

    Nutomic has said some transphobic stuff, I forget the exacts, but I presume that is what that is about.

    genocide denying

    Presumably talking about the Uighur.

    beg for donations with in built donation begging banners on all Lemmy instances front pages.

    They added a banner that asks for donations, it shows up once a year.

    while Lemmy lags behind

    Piefed keeps adding stuff, while Lemmy is working on getting to 1.0 and is “slow” to do so.

      So it’s like with kerbal space program 2, they’re so focused on the graphics and neat little after-thought features that they end up neglecting the basic aspects of the software?
