Comment on PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster
Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 month agoit’s inspired by lemmy but seeks to addres; community concerns stemming from that programming is a form of communication and the things the lemmy project owners value as messaging are vile

I’m not sure what that even means. Does that mean it’s right wing? If software can even be right wing or left wing.

Two of the developers are scary communists. And no, I don’t think software can be right wing or left wing. Maybe if it’s centralized, like X, but the developers of Lemmy can’t interfere with Lemmy servers they don’t admin, and it’s open source (lots of other people contribute to the Lemmy source code at this point and so would be able to spot things added in).
Personally, I think the right way to advertise other competitors on the fediverse isnt to fear monger about the developers, but to say what features they have that might be good. Also, it is nice to have competitors, so also just to advertise based on the availability of alternative options.

The Lemmy devs? I’m aware of this. I’m a right winger and that doesn’t affect me nearly as much as the far left communities of Lemmy users.
The features are all I care about. Eventually I’ll find the right people here and be able to build the communities I want.

They must have been talking about the Lemmy devs (the main PieFed dev is a lefty but no-one has ever accused him of being a tankie). To give you an idea: piefed.social blocks lemmygrad and hexbear, but it also block hilariouschaos (set up by the old exploding-heads guys).

Exactly. I 100% agree with that sentiment.
