Seems like an asshole/ego move to fork Lemmy rather than contribute to it when Lemmy is an ongoing project
Diversity is good
Yes, it is generally good, but if we want a viable alternative to the sub-based AI platform, then we need more users, not more platforms.
I wouldn't be here if I had to use Lemmy. Its user experience doesn't appeal to me.
Piefed appeals to me, so I'm here. More good options will be reflected in more users.
The platforms are federated and use the same protocol, it doesn’t matter
Normally I'd agree, but the recent increase in popularity of Pixelfed among the TikTok crowd has shown me that it's possible for one fediverse platform to succeed where a competing one failed.
