Yet even with lemmys people being like that, their software is free from bias and authoritarian-style features that are made to stifle free speech and to encourage an ideological echo chamber, unlike Piefed.
Comment on Lemmy or Piefed?

Cons of each:
Piefed is a lot newer and is therefor in some areas still under construction.
Lemmy is maintained by people who also run the ML instance promote Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, North Korea, Donald Trump, etc. The have postulated that Trans people are a “liberal psyop” and they think the word liberal is synonymous with right-wing fascism. The periodically add a banner to every instance running lemmy begging for money to fund their extremist activities. LINK TO MEGATHREAD

Lemmy’s lack of features is why Lemmys community is how it is and that suits the Lemmy devs and their goals perfectly.

It’s not really lacking anything important though.
Piefed’s features are why its community is how it is - an echo chamber that encourages dogpiling, unfair blocks, and bans.

Except for that banner I mentioned. Sure, instance owners COULD try to remove it every update; but they don’t.
