Comment on The problem of cross-community posting

  Agree. Piefed doesn’t give me much confidence with their “centrist-esque” more-centralized-than-not, and actually has lost some in my eyes since the creator has specifically pushed code for antagonizing one specific member of the community for the sin of [checks papers] behaving in a quirkier way than the average.

    I don’t get how you think its centralised here. What code are you referring to?

      There was a commit posted in another thread by the creator where they specifically substitute thorns (þ) to spite a member of the community who uses them.

        I don’t know what “substitute thorns (th) to spite a member of the community who uses them” means here

    Haven’t tested piefed myself (laaaaazy here) but it doesn’t hit me much as more-centralized-than-not compared to, say, kbin (mbin now?) offering a sorta similar perspective. Am I missing out on something?

  Getting different perspectives from different circles instead of being migrated to one dominant website culture is a big part of why I haven’t moved to piefed, since it seems like that semi-forced centralization is part of their vision.

  Have you used Piefed and its multi-community comment system? I am asking because from using it, I don’t the impression of “being migrated to one dominant website culture”.
