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

    Good to know my experiences are not out of the ordinary. You guys are right, as against censorship as I am, these guys can’t be with everyone else. They follow people onto other threads, they did that with your linked article guy too, they did that with me too, and I’m not sure some of them don’t have alternate accounts on our instances here that they troll the same people with.

    Like one with 60 total comments over a few months that has popped up twice spouting incendinary accusations, asking people to chalk my reasoned argument as trolling and block and move on and accusing me of being a russian troll or .ml kind of shit. One of them I got into it after the first time I wandered onto their instance, guy just popped back up out of nowhere doing it again, I recognized the username, about the same period of time after I got into it again with their trolls there. Orchestrated something anyway.

      I’m not sure some of them don’t have alternate accounts on our instances here that they troll the same people with.

      Not only do they do this, they also admit it, they even brag about it, and they laugh about it and plan for ways to do it more effectively inside their echo chambers and safe spaces (e.g. lemmygrad.ml, another instance that is very friendly with Hexbear.net).

      An excerpt from my aforementioned linked post:

      I truly do want to hear from a wide diversity of opinions - so long as they are offered in good faith. The lack of the latter though… why should someone else’s right to speak infringe upon, even trounce (the better word might be “trump”?) my right to not have to listen?

      It seems counterintuitive but sometimes in order to preserve freedom of speech, certain types of speech must be curtailed. Not everywhere, but in at least some spaces, to allow for quieter voices to speak who otherwise would not feel comfortable doing so when the background level of toxicity is too high.
