  • How much do you bet that r/50501 will be eventually banned as “encouraging violence” or some similar bullshit? We’re dealing with Reddit.

    Myself got shadowbanned not too long ago. Shadowbanning is fucking stupid, unless you’re damn sure you’re dealing with automated spam; when handling humans it’s the same as “we don’t want you here, but since we’re liars and deceivers we won’t tell you so.”

    I’d say the best thing to do here is to weaponise the Streisand Effect: spread awareness of what Reddit is doing and silencing. Like OP and the OOP are doing.


  • Perhaps. I can’t rule out completely the possibility of Lemmy stagnating. In that case as PieFed development progresses, and the feature gap becomes wide, more and more instances shift from one to another. I do think however the Lemmy devs won’t simply see their software being replaced without “fighting back” (in a good way).

    A third possibility would be specialisation - PieFed and Lemmy still coexisting, but taking different niches.



  • Your title suggests Lemmy is proprietary which it is not.

    Lemmy and KBin are both open source. [implying: “OP suggests Lemmy and/or KBin are not open source”]

    *sigh* in no moment the OOP even implies that.


    On-topic: PieFed is packed with a bunch of interesting stuff, mentioned by another user in that thread: better resource usage, better mod tools, gallery view, the ability to combine comments from different comms, a multi-reddit-like feature… and, additionally:

    • a button to mute all replies to your comment
    • an “attitude” score, to detect people who are excessively combative
    • filter posts based on keywords

    I’m actually rather excited for it, because it seems to be progressing at a fast pace.
