1st Feb is #GlobalSwitchDay

I agree, and I think it's a shame it has gotten to this point, but I understand his viewpoint completely and have seen the interactions myself. At this point it's simply more efficient to promote Piefed on Reddit instead of Lemmy, because you want the absolute least amount of friction for potential new users. Literally any single minor inconvenience/negative thing will cause people to not even consider trying it out. Lemmy has unfortunately already accumulated a reputation, and if you promote it you are very likely to run into comments about tankies which is typically enough to scare potential new users away.
At the end of the day it shouldn't matter to us which software people use, as long as we get more new users into the ecosystem.
People will always find some excuse to do nothing and stay on Reddit. Whether its Lemmy or Piefed you will only ever get a few people to switch.

Yuck. Do you have any evidence?
Here's the writeup about it, going around

Today the first of Feb is Global Switch day, Spread awareness of the Fediverse in your communities.
Every day is a good day to switch
-
Deb's a tankie with the most bullshit oppinions ever seen on earth.
Who is deb?

I've been using lemmy.world with the boost app. Should I look into piefed? Am I missing anything? I mean I'm happy with what I got, but is the grass any greener?
It has a lot of cool features, I'm almost tempted to switch but am waiting on the app I use to finish supporting it first.

So it basically is a worse version of Reddit's karma.
-
can anyone eli5 what the difference is from piefed to lemmy? i have a lemmy account, do i have a use for a piefed accnt too?
PieFed has flair and topics, which make it easier to find content you like.
-
Hey, hey you.
Get some.
Much better!
-
Essentially, yes. And maybe that's part of why people jumping from reddit like it so much, but personally, I don't think the things like this that Piefied is doing are good for the fediverse ecosystem
-
Yuck. Do you have any evidence?
Thanks. Disgusting
-
Is there a federated version, either in the works or planned? Because otherwise, Stoat is the only option.
Roomy says they plan to integrate federation in the future, though it doesn't have it now.

Even your chief propagandist agrees that you're deplorable.

I used Lemmy for months, mostly in the browser and my UX was absolutely horrible.
The default browser UI sucks.
I had to try many different settings and eventually through a lot of effort found the Photon UI, which is nice.
The vast majority of users just won't go through that effort. PieFed's default UI is quite clean and modern and much nicer to use, which is why I promote it instead
I tried out a handful of Lemmy apps and Thunder is what I used for most of it but then switched to Summit. There's aspects I like about both and aspects I dislike about both, but they don't have a bad UI.

PieFed has flair and topics, which make it easier to find content you like.
oh cool. thanks for the info :3
-
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?
-
Maybe add Matrix as a Discord alternative?
The Element application is solid now. Still I think it'd be a rough transition for most discord users. But more users probably means more potential for developer interest
-
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.
-
So why don't you go post that in reply to user in your instance saying this about you?
-
Who is deb?
Developer
