You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

I like the many features of Piefed, but the lack of mobile apps and good clients (such as tesseract) is a deal breaker for me. And the Lemmy backend is written in rust, so it's very fast, as opposed to python, though I understand why one would use python instead of rust.

I hope Lemmy catches up with the features. I'm not fully comfortable with donating to the devs because they run tankie authoritarian-bootlicking instances, and are transphobic.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 25 points 9 hours ago

they run tankie authoritarian-bootlicking instances, and are transphobic.

This is why I'm most likely going to use Piefed when my lemm.ee time expires

[–] MangoPenguin@piefed.social 10 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

The Interstellar app seems pretty good so far

So far piefed seems a lot more responsive, but that could just be due to less users on this instance vs the lemmy one I use.

[–] Truscape@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I've only installed Interstellar on my Linux Mint machine, does it have support for Android at all?

[–] banana@thebrainbin.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Yep, can conform it's very usable. Haven't encountered any bugs so far

[–] Piatro@programming.dev 3 points 5 hours ago

Yup it's on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

and are transphobic

Wait, what ? Let's start c/escapelemmy

[–] lena 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy is open source, so this doesn't affect other instances. You don't have to use the tankie triad.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I know

But this starts to be abit much

By using lemmy we shine light on the project resulting in these bad people getting more exposure and probably more donations

[–] lena 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm, fair. Imo it would have been better if the piefed devs had forked Lemmy instead of making their own thing from scratch, but I totally understand not wanting to use rust.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Imo it would have been better if the piefed devs had forked Lemmy instead of making their own thing from scratch

Could you elaborate on that ? In my mind more software variety = better

[–] lena 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It leads to a lot more duplicated work. If people stopped making stuff from scratch just for the heck of it, they could work together to make an actually good social media platform. It's fine if there are different types of social media on the fediverse, like micro logging, blogging and reddit-like softwares, but piefed and Lemmy are quite similar.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

I see

But as you said, they're built with different technologies, so it doesn't apply in this case

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 28 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Why, what did I miss?

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 27 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Blåhaj just made a piefed instance and I just think it's better

It's compatible with lemmy, so I can just use my piefed account for basically everything!

[–] banana@thebrainbin.org 3 points 5 hours ago

Mbin is even better in my opinion, compatable with Lemmy, Piefed ánd Mastodon

[–] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

What makes it better/worse? Up- and downsides?

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 46 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (8 children)
  • Communities can have a topic, this means you can browse by topic! Nice but not mindblowing
  • Communities can define post flairs! Basically very visible tags on posts that you can sort by. I've wanted this for a long time and some communities do this on lemmy by adding [flair/tag] to the title. Easy to forget to do. With it being a feature instead it's just much nicer and handier
  • Wikis! Some communities really benefit from having a wiki alongside it, like my DIY HRT community! I'm super pumped for this one
  • There's a NSFL flag for posts in addition to NSFW
  • Lots of neat options for communities and the user. You can set communities to be mosaic instead of a list! Haven't tried it yet but it's cool that it's an option
  • Built in custom css stuff
  • The dev seems very active and communicative
  • The dev isn't a transphobic tankie as far as I'm aware
  • Everything seems to be better made than here. Did you know on lemmy you need to comment/post in a community to be made a mod? You also can't be unmodded unless you have a comment or post. On piefed there's a menu for this instead. Lots of just better little things like that
  • More probably

The downside is Lemmy is more popular. I don't think there is a mobile app also (edit: there are mobile apps like Interstellar, but I dunno if they support all the non-lemmy features yet), just the web frontend. There might be more, but I just started using it. Also, since the instance is new it's still syncing posts and such from other instances and from lemmy

Edit:
Oh! And you can have "feeds" which are like multireddits. Instead of just your frontpage which acts as a singular feed you can have multiple custom feeds! Say a meme and a hobby feed f.ex, instead of everything being mixed

Edit:
One more negative is lemmy can't see the piefed only features like wikis. It's also newer and there seems to be mainly one contributor to the code, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are some bugs lurking around.

[–] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

NSFL flag may have just sold me. i'm so tired of staring down a vague title and trying to calculate the odds of tits vs gore

[–] transebding_the_binary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

that honestly sounds really interesting I migth just move my very active and totally not dead community there in the near future.

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Haha! :P

There's a migrate community button actually, so you can clone over everything if you want

[–] transebding_the_binary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

yeah I noticed. I think I migth start posting some more so the community grows more once I have more time

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

According to Ada, you can also set up instance moderators that don't have the full "keys to the castle". I think that's a big part of why they set it up to check out, I was chatting to her about how Blahaj kinda needed more moderation at an instance level.

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Ah yes! That's correct. I'm an admin over there and can therefore moderate here as well

[–] catfeeder@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 hours ago

Some additional features:

You can follow other users. Also you can get notifications from a post, a user, or a community, without subscribing to them.

"Feeds" can also be made public and shared with others. Here's my feed for local Lemmy Blahaj communities: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/f/blahajlocal, as an example.

Keyword filters are a built-in feature. I'm not sure yet but if it's bound to your account and not the client then your filters will be synced between different devices. Even if it's not true it's still better implemented than in most Lemmy clients.

Some more transparency on votes (e.g. users have "attitude" stat which is a percentage of posts/comments they upvoted against the stuff they downvoted).

User flairs are also available! You can specify some info for a specific community without changing your display name.

Searching is nicer than on Lemmy. You can go to a community and search there too.

Just the stuff I noticed from my first look btw, there's probably more!

[–] erotador@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

interesting, I have been able to mod and unmod people who have never posted in my comms using the photon frontend.

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 hours ago

Ah, might be a frontend thing then. The default web frontend for blahaj can't do that at least.

[–] OctaviaMeowzly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

interstellar doesn’t work with blahaj piefed as the api is closed

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Oops! We'll get that fixed as soon as we can!

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

Ooo, I'll have to check it out!

[–] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Hmm... all that sounds good (except for lacking the requirement of posting in said instance to become a mod there - but if what you say is true, it might be an option).

But is it still decentralised and federated?

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah! It's part of the fediverse! Check what instance I am talking to you from :3

[–] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

Oh huh, just noticed that yeah! Is there an app for it? I see Interstellar mentioned, but is it for iOS or Android, or some third one? Is it on /e/OS?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

According to this it's

Available for Android, Linux, and Windows devices, with more to come.

https://interstellar.jwr.one/

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I found it on android. I am using the web frontend on desktop personally

[–] Taalnazi@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Okay, and just to ask one more question: is your account affilated with piefed in any way (other than having an account there)?

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Nope! I just think it's neat. I tried out piefed only because there's a blåhaj instance. I'm WillStealYourUsername, a longtime mod of this comm

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I can confirm that I am me!

[–] Bryllyg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 12 hours ago

You stole your own username checks out

:D

I've also finally made a piefed account and it seems pretty neat. Hopefully it will gain more people :3

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Is there an app?

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 3 points 12 hours ago

Interstellar is the app for piefed

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 5 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Oh, nice. Other way as well? Can I comment from my Lemmy instance's web interface?

[–] banana@thebrainbin.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Should work yes

[–] WillStealYourUsername@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago

I would think so! I haven't tried that yet, but piefed is also part of the fediverse so I think it works both ways

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

e; I should read better, someone else asked this here already

[–] OctaviaMeowzly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 11 hours ago

sameee (last comment on lemmy)
