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

It doesn't matter.

The purpose of Piefed is anti-communism and to accomplish this it includes a bunch of censorship and manipulation tools that also affect federated instances. It definitely matters.

lol okay. Then don't use it.

I'll say it again, it doesn't matter. The folks who use piefed aren't the ones you want to interact with. It doesn't matter.

But it also leaves those who join not knowing it has fascistic tendencies vulnerable to their propaganda

Yeah the whole point of this project is to intercept people who would join the fediverse and steer them towards anti-communism and neoliberalism. Ideological rigidity is trojan horsed in under the guise of nifty features...the exact shit they accuse the Lemmy devs of. Piefed exists only to further the spread of fascistic tendencies dressed as liberalism.
