PieFed updates faster, is responsive to suggestions and user concerns, has way more features such as polls, topics (groups of communities that can be made by users, helps to browse all comms related to a topic) automated posts, it combines cross-post comments into 1 page, etc.
And the Lemmy devs are transphobes, genocide deniers, support Russia invading Ukraine, etc. so there's an ethical component to people not supporting it through using it.
Because I'm sure "they'll" come and rage here once they see this post I'll pre-empt it and say the dev for PieFed is not perfect, no one is, and they've got some code around minimising meme images and 4chan content based on their personal preferences, but that stuffs all optional and can be turned on or off by the instance admins.
And also most of the things you said are simply wrong.
Any PieFed user can confirm the features are correct.
I could go digging through posts to find your well documented history of it, but I'll quote your guy here because I have this on hand already and any ml user is going to trust their word.
Dessalines has a whole link spam dedicated to genocide denial and spreading Russian propaganda on Ukraine.
Or do you mean posting the previous thread on the brigading hatejerk comm?
Nice screenshot by the way, which leaves out 90% of the actual comment. Link for comparison. I wont even get into the other deceptions, you really are true to your name.
The rest of the comment isn't about you, so why would I include it?
What a deceptive reply you've made trying to frame it as if I left out information that reflected differently on you.
Ah yes because one sentence by someone you dislike is enough basis to judge a different person that you dislike. Why dont you do something useful with your live, instead of hating on people who actually create something useful?
One sentence literally saying your views on the subject are deplorable are great evidence of your shitty views when that person is one of the most trusted figures in your instance.
Why do you think anything about Rimu not liking tankies validates your deplorable views? That was clearly an attempt at deception.
All the people upvote you, it's only "them" who downvote you. You have a clear picture of the world around you!
I said nothing about votes.
I'm talking about the hatejerk comm where they brigaded from the last time this image was posted and spammed it with misinformation.
Ew gross, fuck tankies. I'm really confused so both lemmy and piefed are tankie-adjacent?
No, Lemmy is fine. We may have our personal opinions on our things, but we never let them affect our work. A lot of admins and contributors also keep an eye on it. If you dont like how moderation works on a particular Lemmy instance, you can find a dozen other instances with different rules. As developers we could not even ban the clowns on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works if we wanted.
No, only Lemmy.
Piefed was created because users weren't happy that the developers spend more time arguing on tankie talking points and censoring dissent than developing Lemmy.
