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

Added more context in separate reply with a link. But basically they're saying it is a fine way to handle it, not adding comments if blocked on piefed but on lemmy, because it shows that you can't reply on piefed.

So like most issues brought up brushed aside completely.

And now why I'm both curious and not curious to see if it actually does some of the user control stuff properly if a user is doing it on lemmy not piefed (the reputation/attitude thing where you get pushed by the system for not behaving properly)
