PieFed updates faster, is responsive to suggestions and user concerns, has way more features such as polls, topics (groups of communities that can be made by users, helps to browse all comms related to a topic) automated posts, it combines cross-post comments into 1 page, etc.
And the Lemmy devs are transphobes, genocide deniers, support Russia invading Ukraine, etc. so there's an ethical component to people not supporting it through using it.
Because I'm sure "they'll" come and rage here once they see this post I'll pre-empt it and say the dev for PieFed is not perfect, no one is, and they've got some code around minimising meme images and 4chan content based on their personal preferences, but that stuffs all optional and can be turned on or off by the instance admins.
All the people upvote you, it's only "them" who downvote you. You have a clear picture of the world around you!
I said nothing about votes.
I'm talking about the hatejerk comm where they brigaded from the last time this image was posted and spammed it with misinformation.
Ew gross, fuck tankies. I'm really confused so both lemmy and piefed are tankie-adjacent?
No, only Lemmy.
Piefed was created because users weren't happy that the developers spend more time arguing on tankie talking points and censoring dissent than developing Lemmy.
