Today the first of Feb is Global Switch day, Spread awareness of the Fediverse in your communities.
All due respect to Mastodon but BlueSky is way more viable right now.

Should be Lemmy over piefed.
And BlueSky over Mastodon
-
If you believe that the Piefed devs would get away with overriding the configuration of other instances with an update, that's not realistic.
Most of the Piefed users (myself included) would leave immediately.
What our experience is is the opposite: the Piefed dev team is always receptive to feedback, and improves the software based on this constantly.
It took 2 days for a PR to go though on piefed. It was a great experience.
Reading the code is VERY easy, even compared to other projects. I was able to get it up and running in about 30 mins with very little knowledge of the project. The "filters" are all optional on the admin side and instances can and have modified them to suit their needs.
Congrats @rimu@piefed.social ! Your project has gained "controversy", the main way you can tell its getting successful

Piefed seens to have a lot of issues baked into the code
Create a PR and fix it.

I thought the new TikTok was upscrolled.

Is peer tube any good ?
No.
But mainly because content creators are on YouTube to get audience and a small profit. The technology is fine otherwise.

Yeah but this is like when Disney makes star wars tv shows. Ignore what the current audience likes and use the show as a vehicle to try and tell them what they should like.
I didnt think they could do worse than Discovery but the Academy is incredibly bad. On the plus side, Im rewatching Deep Space Nine again.
-
Is there a federated version, either in the works or planned? Because otherwise, Stoat is the only option.

No.
Other alternatives are Root, not federated.
There's also Roomy in development which is federated, and will tie into Bluesky.

I've seen the Reddit users be more receptive of PieFed over Lemmy. In a post suggesting Lemmy, the Reddit users will just comment that it looks ugly, it's confusing, devs are tankies, etc. Posts suggesting PieFed get less complaints and more signups.
Also I think the instance choice is easier for PieFed compared to Lemmy. If you tell people to use Lemmy, they'll probably end up on lemmy.world which is overpopulated, or lemmy.ml...

I am unreasonably angry about the stretched icons.
Hey, hey you.
Get some.

This is an interesting economics problem. How can a p2p FOSS alternative compete with advertising revenue? The YouTube creators don't even get most of the money, so it wouldn't need to be perfect to be better.

Its up to you. They are different software but both read lemmy and Piefed communities and instances.
-
To users they're both mostly the same but PieFed has more features and a much better UX, so it's the one I choose to promote.
I'm not sure about the better UX. Take a look at the recent code analysis: https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23662293
I think the current behavior is very confusing. Unless you're an instance admin, you don't know whether these features are enabled or not.

It makes it look like a shitpost at a glance lol

There are some good youtube mirrors on peertube though and the videos can be downloaded. Also no youtube censorship! I bet you can find some good movies like in the old age of youtube

I honestly think next time we should switch Mastodon out for something else (still Fediverse/ActivityPub of course).
We've already given Reddit users enough chances to try out Mastodon, we should see if the general Reddit users accept something else better. But I'm not experienced with microblogging at all, it's not my thing. Hopefully something with a discovery algorithm.
We've seen good results from promoting PieFed instead of Lemmy, so switching it up does work.
