Okay.
Just wanted to point out that PieFed and Lemmy are the same thing. There's a reason to fight between Reddit and Forumverse, but whatever makes Lemmy grow is good for PieFed and vice versa. So, the meaning of the word "alternative" is very different when comparing Reddit with Forumverse, and when comparing various Forumverse softwares to each other.
Reddit is kind of "against" us, while PieFed and Lemmy play in the same team.
PieFed isn't the same thing as Lemmy. It's federated, but has severe problems with the code, and a racist, anti-communist developer that puts that bias into PieFed itself. PieFed and Lemmy handle many things differently.
What things do they handle differently? I mean, PieFed has an equivalent of Multireddits and Lemmy does not, but Lemmy is about to have them if 1.0 comes out some year. That's already been declared.
The same with flairs. Yeah, PieFed has them, Lemmy doesn't, but Lemmy will have them if 1.0 comes out.
I wouldn't say it's "handling things differently" that one has implemented features that the other one is still in the process of implementing, but has already decided it definitely will implement them, at some point.
PieFed is essentially just future Lemmy.
An easy example is blocking. PieFed takes a deliberately different stance to how blocking is handled, one far more abuseable, and thus I prefer Lemmy. Another is that PieFed blocks communist instances by default, unless the instance admin overrides that. Another is the social credit score PieFed maintains, the way it blocks certain images, etc, the way it's coded in Python, etc.
PieFed is quite different, and worse in my use-case. They federate, but PieFed is not future Lemmy.
How is it more abuseable?
Blocked user comment replies are dropped, meaning if someone blocks me and begins to publicly slander me, I can't reply and clear my name.
