I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day
https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/
Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.
I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
No Lemmy?
PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)
I switched to PieFed a while ago, it’s the same thing but better (IMO)
It also doesn’t have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)
It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks. Try out both, see which you like.
Damn. Trashing Lemmy on Lemmy.
In a way yes, because this post is in a community running on a Lemmy instance. But at the same time: The user was did not use Lemmy to write the Lemmy trashing :)
(And Lemmy is good. It’s just, PieFed is so much better!)
If that’s trashing, most debates I’ve seen would be bloodbaths. e.e"
Irony aside, if someone is politely criticized, what seems to be what the OP did, and the receiver sees it as a problem, the receiver shouldn’t be a public figure.
A tradition brought over from Reddit, where people were constantly shitting on Reddit hah
And getting upvoted for it by other piefed users
If you’re on mobile you probably won’t really notice much of a difference, the mobile apps are yet to implement the new features.
Mlem is doing a pretty good job of adding features as their apis become available. I have a feeling the next TestFlight will have polls added.
Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?
Some additional features that PieFed has:
That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/
Awesome! Definitely need to check that out.
Best feature, a working block feature.
ok you got me interested
EDIT :
wait what? I might not have the whole lore but this reads as “communism” is not allowed. I guess that’s a feature for some people.
It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/
Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.
Of course it isn’t perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don’t like the Lemmy devs’ political views.
Though it is a bit opinionated, it’s good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.
Whatever happened to kbin -> mbin? That was another early threadiverse alternative, but I don’t hear much about it anymore.
Mbin is not as popular as Lemmy or Piefed, so nobody talks about it. Even before Piefed started being popular, Kbin was still not that popular compared to Lemmy in the past nor Piefed right now (might be an exaggeration).
With the Kbin lead dev, Ernest, not being active enough (due to medical reasons), the community forked Kbin, which is what we know today as Mbin.

Thanks. I knew that kbin had been forked to mbin, but didn’t know whether mbin development had continued after that.
Mbin still exists https://fedidb.com/software/mbin
although the biggest instance, fedia.io, no longer allows anonymous viewing, which is kind of a shame
Thanks. I was wondering if mbin was still actively being used and developed.
looking at their Github they’re still very active in development! If you want to follow their news !mbinReleases@gehirneimer.de
Cool, thanks!
what features are worth the increased censorship tools?
What censorship tools?
user reputation scores
Oh you sweet summer child.
They’re just hard coding keywords to limit reach of usauthoritarianism and queer community.

You’ll need to login to view content, because they got the original post deleted but it’s still cached on fedia.
From what I remember it was about some discover feed feature or something and they tried to curate it a bit, remove greentexts and stuff that had a ton of posts or something.
It was an anti meme feature that has since been removed on request. The PieFed devs are very open to the community and act lighting fast.
Meanwhile people have been asking Lemmy for a working block function for years and they refuse. And let’s not forget the hardcoded front page banners Lemmy puts on all instances begging for donations to do who knows what as it never updates.
Same candy, different wrapper.
Seconded, and using Interstellar on Android.
Correct, No to Lemmy. :)
Awww… ):

Thanks, I guess. You seem like a very nice and reasonable person.
Bold words coming from a supporter of russian genocidal imperialism!
And please don’t play dumb! We both know the overwhelming majority of tankies only speak English and at absolute best may have visited Europe for a week 20 years ago (let alone Cuba or China).
What are you even talking about?? English is my second language and I lived in Europe almost my entire life. And I visited Cuba, it was nice.
The great majority of the world’s “tankies” aren’t from the Global North but from the Global South and from actually-existing socialist states like China, Vietnam, and Cuba.
Totally!
They don’t look at you and see a demagogue who is roleplaying online, oh no.
It’s funny how you talk big about the “global south” and “actually-existing socialist states” and yet you have a very orientalist and honestly racist worldview.
You think people in Cuba or say Vietnam are idiots who can’t see through basic bullshit.
wtf are you even talking about
The best part of this comment is how it implies that people from China, Cuba, or Vietnam are just one big unit that all think and act the same, all while baselessly accusing davel of orientalism.
You should try to set your own bar at basic honesty and see how it works out for you.
I can tell how much grass you touch based on this comment alone
Brah, “touch grass bla bla” is pretty stale by this point.
Btw, it’s winter in the northern hemisphere!
Even tagged them, wow
Your arrogance is beyond words, personally attacking the devs that created and tirelessly maintain the very platform you’re using to write this garbage comment.
Go use reddit, it will align with your worldview much better since it is run by corporations that sell your data for profit, making use of their god given right to “personal freedom” as defined by the CIA, and don’t allow anything left of Mussolini on their platform.

Not new, and I’m fine with lemmygrad but thanks for the concern. I’ll make sure to avoid the likes of you instead
You did not suggest anything, you came in flying with insults
Oh nooo, I insulted a product which is developed by mentally unstable people, how could I. Forgot that we are in church here, sorry mate
Eh, insulting is fine, insulting without a stated reason is just confusing, gotta give people some context.
To be honest I’m not fine with being insulted by that guy.
I’m genuinely sorry you have to go through all the slander and name calling people like to throw at you and Dessalines for developing wonderful software that isn’t full of lib-bias censorship tools and other questionable decisions 💜🫂🫂❤️🔥
Basically the context is this: !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
Ah yes, the embarrassed fascism comm
The com run by an outright fascist?
Well, you know what they say about liberals and fascism.

Imagine being angry at dessalines.
Fuck Dessalines and Nutomic. Not for their politics, but because they are petty power hungry assholes.
