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
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.
