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?
Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781
The worry about a hard-coded list stems from Lemmy itself doing exactly that several years ago. And then when pressed, the response was:
-Nutomic
To be fair, after a huge outcry the Lemmy devs did eventually relent and removed the block. Yet somehow on hexbear and lemmygrad (see links to those in the context to this sub-thread above), Lemmy has never done anything wrong, and PieFed can never do anything right.
That’s enough reason right there for me to leave Lemmy behind. Thankfully PieFed exists or else I’d have to leave the Threadiverse altogether, and yet there will always be some who bring their false arguments around the defederation filters.
Since that time btw Lemmy has added an additional hard-coded filter that highly ironically - and hilariously to me - went even further towards propagating community lists, even while PieFed has significantly walked back its own such efforts in that regard. Not that they would ever acknowledge either of such, of course:-).
