So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

    For me I jumped the ship because ever since I got introduced to Lemmy, the knowledge of who the main Lemmy devs are left a really sour aftertaste to everything.

    Piefed doesn’t have this baggage and as you say - Lemmy and Piefed can federate so I can still keep connected in the communities. And you can export your Lemmy profile and import to Piefed so the switch is really easy (though saved posts don’t get imported, but oh well).

      I know this thread is old but yes I agree with you.

      I’m now trying out Piefed because I’m not a fan of the Lemmy developers. I’ve seen some of their mod actions on Lemmy.ml and I don’t agree with their perspectives.

      For example, I think imperialist behaviour done by any nation (US, China, Germany, whoever it is) is bad. It means exerting control over people who don’t want it, and can’t vote against it. But the Lemmy.ml mods seem to think that imperialism is fine when it’s done by China or Russia, and imperialism is only bad if it’s done by western countries.
