So, if I understood it correctly, PieFed is simply another platform using ActivityPub, just developed by different people?

MrKaplan@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
pretty much, yeah. different people, different programming languages, some feature differences, etc. but still the same content.

I see, that’s nice. I know a LOT of people were turned off by Lemmy because of the .ml devs, hopefully PieFed is more appealing to them.

Yeah, nutomic and some of their statements were a significant factor motivating my switch from Lemmy to Piefed. I’m glad we have the option here on Blahaj, and shout out to the Voyager dev for adding Piefed support!

I have not found it hard at all to just ignore the .ml devs and people in general. Why is this such an issue for literally anyone?

Some users don’t want to support a project that’s being developed by people they don’t like.
It’s kind of how some people left Reddit because of Spez, even though the amount of money Lemmy devs make doesn’t remotely compare, and the risk of enshittification/imposition of views is minimal due to the whole project being open source.
I personally don’t see it as a huge issue, but I can relate (and I’d definitely see it differently if I was actively supporting the platform through donations).

For one thing if you Google search (we are talking mainstream normies here) for Lemmy, it pulls up Lemmy.ml as the first hit to an instance. And then that in turn, to an anonymous guest without an account, it shows posts solely from Local, rather than All. So a visitor does not see the part of the Threadiverse that is ignoring the tankies, they see the tankie home environment in full glory. There they talk about such things as beheading people who have bank accounts. Mainstream normies nope out fairly quickly... and then get mad at me for even having mentioned "Lemmy" to them in the first place.
It is easy for us who know how to ignore the propaganda, but we do quickly forget - I did for sure - just what kind of place this is, as in how it appears to others who have not put in the time we have to so heavily curate our experiences.
I am saying that we are a Nazi bar: we allow it, even while we ignore it, but it makes others uncomfortable so they leave.

I am Ukrainian. I hope the lemmy devs and all tankies get to experience russian genocidal imperialism firsthand.
Do you why this is “literally” an issue?
