Ignoring the fact piefed isn’t a lemmy fork.

Are you really going to argue that forking an existing project because you want to take it a different way is an asshole move?

Also ignoring the same fact.

I mean in a way they're not wrong. This open source fragmentation is an actual nightmare at this point...

Buuuuut considering who the lemmy devs are I will gladly move to Piefed when I can actually easily host my own instance.

Open source is all about fragmentation. It's a natural result of freedom.

Sure, if everybody pulled the same direction on the same project and successfully coordinated their cooperative effort while agreeing on everything and also having the perfect™ vision for the project, that would be great.

But that's just not gonna happen, for a million reasons. So instead, we get diversity, and people can use the software that fits them, and develop what they're interested in in the language of their choosing. Thank god.
