in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?๐Ÿค”

>I prefer to choose my experience for myself without being ideologically guided by someone else's values.

Thank you for expressing my own opinion so succinctly.

Fucking solid take overall, tbh.

I appreciate that, thank you.

Everyone should make up their own minds when it comes to picking an instance, but it's important to know who's holding the reins.

No but I mean, I think this is an important conversation to have, which is hard in this intellectual climate, because everyone seems so entrenched and the only ones who don't seem to be are skeptics (although I fucking hate that term because it too has been usurped by self important douchebags who think being a skeptic means being critical of everything that doesn't happen to suit their personal dogma, kind of like how conservatives who can read and write call themselves libertarians- because it's a cooler subclass to belong to that basically believe the same thing but how the fuck did I get caught up in this tangent, anyway), a dying breed.

(/ Me, an intellectual)
