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

The inability of the average shitlib to even entertain the ideas of those outside of the echo chamber of hegemonic global liberalism is so interesting.

Almost the entirety of the old media and basically every non specifically counter educated person in the western world catering to them isn't enough, they feel compelled to just completely isolate themselves.

Liberals know there is a lie within liberalism and that keeping that lie contained is necessary for its survival. Any socialist within liberal spaces creates more socialists. There are only two historically successful ways to stop this reddening over time, one is social democracy and the other is mass murder of communists.

I think you're right on a systemic level however are being far too generous to the analytical capabilities of your average shitlib on an individual scale.

I think liberalism being at its core an idealist and moralist philosophy means that when you are born into it the saturation of propaganda makes it almost morally necessary to believe anyone who disagrees with you is ontologically evil/immoral because if they're not then you must be. Its the harry potter/star wars effect, every political disagreement etc. must be good vs evil, the hero vs the villain and everyone want to believe they are the good.
