Been using Lemmy for a few months, what's different with Piefed? (retrofed.com)

A lot of people talk up PieFed, and I think I found a community I like (RetroFed, they're based around retro gaming, but they're also new, so I'm not really trying to push them per se) so I signed up with them... so, aside from looking a little different, what's really different here?

Not really looking for a "PieFed vs Lemmy" debate kind of thing, more of a "hey check this out" vibe.

When I was on Lemmy, I set it up to ignore all vote counts. Sort everything by new and hide the vote numbers. I see your reply has 1 vote (yours) and if I upvote it (I did) it goes up to 2. So I would want to hide that number. I want the ability to vote without being influenced by the votes of others. I never really thought about people I block. I only block those who are excessively rude, or post things I do not want to see in places I don't expect to see them. I'm glad people you block can't vote on your post, but if someone I block replies, I don't really mind as long as I don't get the notification. Let others see it and vote/act accordingly (as long as they don't point it out to me, that's rude).

PieFed allows you to customize some display things using custom css in your user profile. This post has some css snippets that might be of interest. Notably, this snippet seems to be what what you want:

.score {  
  display: none !important;  
}
