I’d rather see feature parity so that Fediverse and Threadiverse in particular won’t EEE itself.

(Longer translation without commonly accepted terms: I’d rather see Lemmy/PieFed/Kbin/Mbin have the same features overall, so that there wouldn’t be one of them trying to extend on others and then make it standard so that others die out because they lack something important)

That seems to me to be akin to saying that you would like everyone to use Windows? Or less insultingly, only a single distro of Linux:-). Indeed, not everything needs to be a competition, but if someone wants to write code and make a better thing, and then turn around and allow everyone else to use it for free, then I for one am all for that!

But I do see your point, e.g. in how there are all these apps, making it confusing how people will view content when they differ in even fundamental things like how images are displayed or markdown syntax. It seems just the nature of the world, even FOSS where new features could theoretically be applied to all apps, if only people weren't as lazy, as to e.g. not integrate the new freely offered feature, or to continue to use an app long after it ceases to be updated routinely by its cohort of devs.

  Of course we should only use one distro of linux, as long as it’s the one I use

There's two factors to this. Lemmy has been slow on developing new features. Eventually people give up despite all the promises. This sort of competition was inevitable, and two - and this cannot be changed - there's a lot of resentment and resistance to using their software for political reasons.

  Fair. But standards need to be made eventually, or Fediverse will fail to deliver on its promise.

    Piefed and Lemmy can mostly communicate with each other. In any case, you can't really compel Lemmy to update as fast as Piefed is.
