I thought PieFed and Lemmy were one and the same.
I am not savvy on how this place is structured.
I was using Lemmy, I now use Piefed and I quite satisfied (it's not perfect, sure, neither am I ;).
Can't recall why I switched but I know there was some technical reason.
To me, they're just two ways (among a few more) of accessing the same fediverse. I use the Web UI, on a desktop computer as I don't do social media on my phone.
On one hand, Lemmy is developed by an authoritarian dipshit who likes fellating Eastern dictators.
On the other, PieFed blocks trans related words as community names by default.
I'm not exactly happy with either of these facts.
Since the Lemmy devs are awful, an alternative isn’t a bad idea (although the Lemmy design itself makes it less bad for Lemmy than it would be for a centralized service).
From a technical perspective, it’s definitely sad to use this kind of service provided by Python instead of Rust (even if I like and use both languages).
Ya, I think if it were the other way around, the nice devs using Rust and the not so nice devs using Python, the decision would be much easier.
As soon as I can microblog straight to my own profile I'm sold. On mbin I had to make an admin only magazine for my microblogs to all be in one place.
Could you describe your problem in more detail?
Microblogs are always associated to your profile. If you want to post something which is not meant for a specific magazine, the random magazine is what you need to use. It is a pseudo-magazine (and so not federated as a community) which aggregates all microblog posts which are not attached to a real magazine.
Yeah but like. Why not just straight to a profile? That's what masto does.
What exactly do you mean "to a profile"? Can you give an example of the difference (I never used Mastodon)?
it seems like piefed is gaining more features and is better on the server (lower resource uaage)
i'd like to switch, but the lemmy clients i use don't support it..
Honestly, PieFed for me, since it has more Reddit-like features than Lemmy does. However, for some reason, the PieFed instance of choice for me, Thriv Social, is not working as of right now. I've been meaning to get in contact with its admin and ask what's going on with this "internal server error" deal.
A huge minus of reddit was the heavy skew in politics to the right due to US influence.
I am obviously not going to switch away from Lemmy because there are communists here. That's without knowing that piefed by default defederates communities for being communist.
The number one problem with Lemmy (and reddit) is censorship. I hear that piefed makes censorship easier. This seems like a bad thing.
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Censorship is a tool of the state to squelch free expression and prevent uprising.
Moderation is a tool of community to keep dangerous people from harming its members.
Lemmy has moderation, not censorship. And the fact that you're being moderated is a big old red flag. To wit: I've never seen this complaint from anyone outside the right-wing.
Your argument is merely semantic. And then you accuse me.
It's slimy junk like this.
