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

      Moderators of a community can kick you from a community, which unsubscribes you from it, and does not notify you.

      Kindly pass this on, but this is actually defunct code that is not actually functionally active on Piefed.

      Mostly everything else being complained about is objecting to Piefeds attempts to weeding out spammers, trolls and AI spammers with arguably punitive detective functions - but the purpose is to mitigate that.

      Some of your code review is not understanding that Piefed handles things differently. So in the context of blocking, if someone blocks you on piefed - you simply can’t reply to them anymore. This isn’t out of sync with how many services operate. Now Lemmy does not operate like this, but the disconnect between how Lemmy and Piefed handle it cause discrepencies like this.

      if your reply contains a blocked_phrase, it won’t accept the comment.

      This code exists, but is unused to my knowledge. Certainly for Piefed.social.

      I also do not see this as inherently bad as it can be used to stop slurs.

      If your account is created_very_recently and the reply contains an em dash (—) it sends a notification to the admins

      This is anti-AI checking functions. Most of the other things you refer to generally here within the code are simply mitigation tools against spam, trolls and AI posters.
