      ...reddit is a vibrant community...something something values different viewpoints. /s

      Their moderation is dishonest.

      they use AI to moderate, so pretty much. and only an admin can unban someone, given how much appeals they get, they are unlikely to see 99% of appeals anyways.

          On Piefed you get the most active communities in search (using similar metrics/ranking systems as reddit), it makes a lot more sense than on Lemmy which ranks search by sub numbers as opposed to MAU/WAU (so you get a lot of dead communities as #1 on the Lemmy WebUI).

            PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)

            I switched to PieFed a while ago, it's the same thing but better (IMO)
            It also doesn't have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)

            It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks.
            Try out both, see which you like.

              Just learned about Piefed. Why does it exist when we already have Lemmy, which alone is already too small for niche communities to pop up as-is? We don't need to fracture an already fractured community. The Piefed devs should merge the project with the Lemmy devs.

                I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day
                https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/

                Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc.
                If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.

                I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.

                Why would you suggest piefed when it has so much biased hard-code in it's database?

                It is clear that Rimu has forced his personal viewpoint and ideology into his code. Despite the claims there has been no evidence that this is the case for Lemmy.

                He has coded in deliberatly misleading error messages when you try to upload images he doesn't like

                      Sounds like hell for someone with problems to put thoughts in words and/or uncommon opinions. You either go blend with the mass or die.

                      Also, could I use my current lemmy account to upvote my each pie comment, to get better score in few minutes? Kinda fragile for cheats.

                            That's open source for you. The biggest issue for things gaining traction is a million projects that all do the same thing "better". Look at Linux, if people are curious about "switching to Linux" all it takes is one comment thread somewhere to confuse then enough to bail on the idea.

                            That's more a community and presentation problem than a fragmentation problem. If people could agree on objective criteria for recommending Linux distros to newbies, it wouldn't be so intimidating to them.

                            Nobody criticizes Ford or Toyota for having "too many options" when they sell cars because they present those options as complementary and people see the variety as a good thing. Linux distros are often presented as competing products, even though for most of them that's not the case.

                                The two devs Nutomic and Deslanies are pro-Russia anti-Ukraine tankies.

                                One has a GitHub where he posts all his mind numbing theory and goes on about how the Uyghurs aren’t undergoing a genocide or Tiananmen Square never happened.

                                The other has been caught multiple times making transphobic comments and just generally not giving a shit if transgender people are victims.

                                Together with some other equally bad people they make up a trio of instances commonly referred to as the “tankie triad” (lemmygrad.ml, Lemmy.ml, and Hexbear.net) where they ban everyone who says critical things about Russia/China and generally push propaganda.

                                  Why would you suggest piefed when it has so much biased hard-code in it's database?

                                  It is clear that Rimu has forced his personal viewpoint and ideology into his code. Despite the claims there has been no evidence that this is the case for Lemmy.

                                  He has coded in deliberatly misleading error messages when you try to upload images he doesn't like

                                  Maybe someone should do a code review for lemmy to see how those tankies have influenced it.

                                  Okay. So? This is in part anti-spam measures. It's very specific, but how many users do you imagine this applies to in practice?

                                  When a reply is created, from anywhere, that only contains the word “this”, the comment is dropped

                                  Piefed.social only. Toggleable off.

                                  Yes, this is to mitigate mass-downvoting. Why is this inherently a problem to you?

                                  Trolls/spammers etc are serious problems on sites like Lemmy and Piefed. If you’re a new account and you’ve managed to get -100 reputation that quickly, it’s not a good sign. If and as the Fediverse grows, instance owners are going to need more observation tools to catch this type of stuff.

                                  If you use em dashes your account is flagged to the admin, more like 1984-fed

                                  AI detection tools. But I’ve seen a lot of AI posters right now caught through this. use of the em-dash is very much a sign, unfortunately. It doesn’t ban them by the way. It just flags new accounts doing it to admins. So? Admins can turn this off.

                                  if you try to comment a .gif … you fail because the code lord Rimu doesn’t like it

                                  Can be turned off at the instance level.

                                  Rimu has turned the block into an instance wide shadowban again without telling anyone

                                  No. If every instance was Piefed, you simply wouldn’t be able to reply to anyone who has blocked you. “Reply” is essentially faded out. The difference is that Lemmy doesn’t implement the block function in the same way, so Piefed just throws out replies by blocked users to the person who has blocked them coming from Lemmy. That’s the mismatch at play here.

                                  If you can somehow still reply via a Piefed instance, it is bugged and not working as intended.

                                  He vindictively targeted a single user with code

                                  This has been removed now, and it wasn't "vindictive" in purpose at all.

                                    It also doesn't have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy

                                    Oh you sweet summer child.

                                    They're just hard coding keywords to limit reach of usauthoritarianism and queer community.

                                    It was an anti meme feature that has since been removed on request. The PieFed devs are very open to the community and act lighting fast.

                                    Meanwhile people have been asking Lemmy for a working block function for years and they refuse. And let’s not forget the hardcoded front page banners Lemmy puts on all instances begging for donations to do who knows what as it never updates.

                                      Because the Lemmy devs support genocide, love Stalin, and are transphobic.
