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
at the very least, your mods are able to ban them from your instance. i think it’s a lot less abusable to be able to designate people whose comments you personally can’t see than it is to designate people whose comments no one can see. at the very low end of what counts as abuse, i keep getting blocked by libs on reddit specifically so they can get the last word. it gives the appearance that they were so correct no one could come up with a response to their epic bacon comeback
