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?

    The number one problem with Lemmy (and reddit) is censorship. I hear that piefed makes censorship easier. This seems like a bad thing.

      🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

      Censorship is a tool of the state to squelch free expression and prevent uprising.

      Moderation is a tool of community to keep dangerous people from harming its members.

      Lemmy has moderation, not censorship. And the fact that you’re being moderated is a big old red flag. To wit: I’ve never seen this complaint from anyone outside the right-wing.

        Your argument is merely semantic. And then you accuse me.

        It’s slimy junk like this.

      Ever been in truly uncensored online spaces? I have. Know what you very very quickly get lots of? Nazis and child porn. This is not good

      Piefed provides instance owners and admins with more tools to catch bad behaviour, that’s absolutely true.

          Yes. Rather than creating better tools for censorship and groupthink we should create tools to prevent that.

        What are you doing here? Are you trying to re-narrate what I just said? I hate that slimy stuff.

          Just confirming. I don’t see that as a bad thing though. The instance tools are designed to make it easier to catch spammers, trolls and AI posts.

            Cease the bullshit.

            The tools for stopping bad behavior can be used to stop any behavior. And they invariably are and will be used to censor any voice those in power dislike, as we all know.

            That’s a fact. There is no good dictatorship.

              The tools for stopping bad behavior can be used to stop any behavior.

              Not really. Do you know what the tools are specifically? They’re just isolating the behaviour of new users for instance admins to catch tendencies often presented by spammers, trolls, bots and AI posters. There’s nothing baked in that can specifically target a specific group.

              There already are various lemmy instances known for partisanship moderation without any specific tools.

                someone who only speaks truth to power or just opposes the status quo will almost invariably be downvoted. using those downvotes to identify trolls is just bad practice.
