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
Well you wanted to play the game don’t get mad when I start playing too.I mean “It’s not semantic.”So you’re telling me, that in the wake of Janet Jackson’s titty, CBS/Viacom received or was threatened with police brutality in the form of $550,000 (a small percentage of their yearly revenue)? You think that a large corporation being fined for showing a titty is “police brutality?” That kinda minimizes actual police brutality but go off I guess.
Or that same titty that cost Viacom $550,000 could legally be broadcast in France because they don’t have as draconian of tv titty laws like we do, and nobody was threatened with prison time or killed, they were fined. It’s not always violence, despite your refusal to accept that you’re wrong.
“Anyway, nuh uh,” I’m arguing that just because you’re
censoredmoderated on lemmy it isn’t “because you’re right wing” as you suggest, it’s more likely because you said something a tankie didn’t like. I’m also having fun with the semantics of moderated vs censored but you started that, and the semantics of repression vs violence because you opened it up to that continuation by misconstruing the two, but mainly I’m refuting the former assertion that “they deserved it just becauseof what they were wearingthey must be right wing if an all knowing admin got angwy at them.”These equivalences and wild bad faith arguments and accusations are getting really old. Sure, Viacom getting fined 1/1,000,000,000,000 of their annual revenue is totally the thing I was worried about, definitely. Yep.
Anyway, you go ahead and have a great time believing that you getting banned from lemmygrad for being a jerk (or at least while being a jerk) is exactly the same thing as a political dissident in Russia getting poisoned for speaking out against Putin. You’re such a hero. How do you do it.
But by your definition, it is censorship, as it was a government doing it, and it was done without violence, so censorship doesn’t need to be violent to be censorship, just repressive, and tankies are repressing the word of dissenters to their favored states (either under the active direction of those states or through propaganda, or by their own free will), meaning their “moderation” is at least only semantically different from censorship (or isn’t different at all, if the state is sufficiently involved for you.)
And it still doesn’t mean that anyone who gets censored by them is right wing.
There are not only two categories for things. Possible categories are not just “moderation” and “censorship.”
The distinction is meaningless.
Nonetheless, it seems that my main point has been made, we might just have to agree to disagree on the semantic point.
