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

    Idk it seems ya’ll have removed all that you can that sucks. This seems like a battle I’d worry about if I was in PieFed proper. I am so tired, boss.

      Dont worry, we’ve disabled all we can of that.

      Piefed is nice in its own way, but god damn it, those “features” suck. Some of them we can’t disable.

      I especially hate the “AI detection” because it’s sloppy, can’t be disabled, and some people actually use the em dash, like me.

        Can it be forked and disabled? I honestly wouldn’t mind assisting in maintaining something like that cause I’d use it. But thats a lot for something that I just love the amethyst UI for lol
