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
Yeah, this one is funny, because it was something that was shown off in their back end video that has now been deleted (but still linked to on their site). The endpoint is still there, so you can call it from the API, but the UI elements are gone. They are correct though, it wasn’t added by the lead developer, but, it did have to be merged by them, so there is some kind of approval of the feature I guess. I could have verified this wasn’t in anymore if it wasn’t such a nightmare to set up an instance.
