Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy
Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 5 days agoI agree, this whole idea of canceling Lemmy is weird and just feels reactionary. Also Piefed running on Python doesn’t seem like something that can scale well nor something that can be perpetually worked on for the long haul without running into issues with new python releases and compatibility with them.

Piefed being written in python means nothing.
Instagram and threads (and parts of the clusterfuck that is facebook) are written in python and seem to have scaled fine.
Performance is negligable – the main bottleneck is I/O.
If a new python release breaks compatibility, Piefed can keep using the old version of python.
