PieFed also does flairs iirc

dev politics and dev opinions. Pick whichever you like it doesn’t matter.
Kbin is dead Mbin is the successor, both have lemmy (reddit-like) and mastodon (twitter-like) capabilities. You can submit a “tweet” and a “post” from the same platform and browse both lemmy and mastodon content.
Lemmmy is the activitypub version of reddit. PieFed is Lemmy but with the ability to see all comments and cross-posts of the same link or post, all collapsed into a single post and single thread to scroll through.
Beehaw deserves its own mention because of how cut off it is from the rest of the fediverse, its its own little walled garden, protected from all the baddies out there in the world.
All the rest is just drama surrounding the devs of all the platforms, and either their questionable political views (lemmy) or their questionable platform moderation views (piefed). So the platforms keep splintering as well as the instances on each platform. Which is a good thing its part of the fun of the fediverse.

Also multi-communities is a pretty central feature. A list of differences with Lemmy is maintained here.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Multi communities are coming in the Lemmy 1.0 soon-ish.

Would love to hear which moderation defaults of PieFed are so controversial. Your phrasing seems to indicate that Lemmy developers support for Putin and Xi Jinping is no more controversial than Piefed developers’ preference to silence trolls and fascists.

The fact that they are implemented in a code level is scary. Even though I disagree with the political views of the Lemmy Devs, the controversial views aren’t reflected in the product they coded, whereas in pie.fed it’s hard coded. Like, why not let instance admins configure those moderation things? Last I read about it there were some filters hard coded in the code that not even admins were able to change if they didn’t change the code itself.
If the default can be changed now, cool. It’s still pretty scary that it’s an opt out feature that had to be changed from forced to opt out though. Again, as much I disagree with the political views of Lemmy Devs, those views didn’t leak into the code of their product. How they moderate ml and such is another thing, I am talking about the code itself.

Again, what exactly are you talking about?
The lead developer recently started a thread in the Piefed meta community specifically to open for people to ask questions about these things. In full:
Nobody managed to come up with an even remotely critical question there.
If you have an issue, ask in !piefed_meta@piefed.social. If the community agrees your concern is valid I can guarantee you it’ll be addressed.

Please read Lessig’s Code, and Other Laws of Cyberspace. There is no system code that doesn’t implement rules, and no rules that aren’t impacted by creators’ biases. What matters is intent. It’s clear, the devs of PieFed by implementing anti-Nazi mod tools do not intend to ban people who were born in 1988 or otherwise. You use an edge case to argue a rare injustice trumps the obvious good of tossing neonazis off their platform.

If we can have fewer nazis at the price of a slight inconvenience for users who were born in 1988 and for some reason want to have their birth year in their user name….
Yeah, I’ll take fewer nazis, please.
I’m fine others may disagree, but let’s at least be honest what we talk about when we talk about “controversial moderation”.
