Piefed has so many issues. It’s great at adding new features, but it’s so bad at free speech.
See this: https://lemmy.ml/comment/23662293
A bunch of tankies whining around anti-spam/bot, anti-AI and defederating from tankie instances. I see no problem here.

And I can say the reverse to you. You interpret every decision made in the worst possible light.
Because I'm a cynical pet and keep seeing odd decisions made along with language that 80% of the time points to bad things.

Having actually interacted with rimu more than you, I think it's reasonable I simply dismiss your position here.

Edit : asked Rimu, here's the answer:
I wrote a long message about how that checkbox only notifies about federated posts.
So the difference is for local posts it blocks the creation of the post entirely, but for federated posts it just notifies the admin.

Maybe that filter is the one missing, if that's the case, that will be changed soon, as it always has been for every time a similar issue was raised
- the thorn character filter
- 196 and other memes communities not being federated by default
- the "this filter" being configurable
My personal stance is that Piefed has several features that Lemmy has been lacking for more than a year, and that prevent the Threadiverse from growing
- multicommunities
- onboarding process asking new joiners what they are into
- crossposts comments consolidation
- communities moderation features
- posts and user flairs
- keyword filters
None of the Piefed users ever said Piefed was perfect, that the code was elegant, or that there were no issues with filters such as the the three examples I listed above.
What we see from time to time is people spreading literal misinformation about Piefed, saying that those filters can't be disabled by an admin (they can), and/or that a fork is needed to do so (it's not) .
That's why I created that post, because for whatever reason Piefed seems to now have haters, which seems counterproductive as it has the unique features listed above.
I personally would prefer people to say "Lemmy is fine, PieFed is fine too, both can operate with each other, my personal preference is X" rather insulting Piefed or Lemmy devs.
Piefed just reminds me too much of sublinks where people simply hated the devs so instead of helping improve the software or even fork it just started fresh on something new.

I'd argue poor code will cause issues as users increase, both for instance admins and user performance.
Overall the issues brought up keep coming back to piefed bringing in some of the worst parts of reddit to the fediverse, like the reputation system. It's designed how rimu wants people to interact in specific ways. And does not seem to care if it actually works with other non piefed instances.

Which again doesn't change how others would perceive the language used.

Are you purely upset about the use of "amateur" here?

No it's their stance anyone reading the code has to talk with rimu or there's no way the person can understand it.

Its more one can ask and inquire here if they wish rather than snipe and spam it around the fediverse everywhere.

Again it's behave as I want and you have to talk to me or it's bad.
Am I talking to rimu now? Or just pr team?

"Behave as I want"? What? I think it's reasonable for a developer, any developer to not view those who, from their perspective, seek to denigrate their work, possibly in bad faith, across multiple places.
You are talking to Skavau.

Which is not useful if those users are people who try out the platform and then abandon it, or worst bots for state actors.

Should we just not celebrate any growth at all?

No, I'm seeing hostility used from others across the wider fediverse. I don't think anything he said there was really specifically hostile at all in any thread. A complete reach.

Lemmy is missing several features that Piefed has had for more than a year now: https://piefed.zip/post/1008300#comment_3561702
Did you put the right URL? That URL links to a comment about the 4-chan image blocking and reputation loss.
If this is the feature you consider to be missing from Lemmy, then yes, please let it remain missing. I definitely don't want anything like it.

That contradicts what @skavau@piefed.social told me.

Deal breaker for me. Although Lemmy is not all that tolerant of dissenting views either I hear.

Having features does not make it good software. It remains true that the code quality is abysmal and there ARE hardcoded blocks based on what the dev(s) dislike.

I hope I am not spreading any misinformation. If any of my complaints is factually incorrect, please point it out.

obviously not that "hardcoded" since piefed.zip can access these things just fine
https://piefed.zip/c/enoughmuskspam@lemmy.worldhttps://piefed.zip/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.compiefed.ca too
https://piefed.ca/c/memes@lemmy.worldHardcoded means the filter is in the source code (as opposed to being in a config file or database). Whether or not it can be disabled/circumvented is a different matter.
