@atomicpoet The nice thing about Friendica forums compared to Gup groups is that on Friendica there is always someone who can ban annoying users, without forcing users to think about it for themselves...

@informapirata@mastodon.uno @atomicpoet@calckey.social @fediversenews@venera.social #lemmy communities also provide moderation facilities like this.

  @maegul Admittedly, Lemmy has even more advanced and granular moderation capabilities, but Lemmy communities are a more structured tool. The Friendica forums, on the other hand, are a more minimal tool, more geared towards speed and above all allow crossposting
  PS: I know it well, since I'm the admin of the Friendica poliverso.org instance but also of the Lemmy feddit.it instance 😅

    Cool! And thanks!
    
    I pitched the idea to lemmy devs of trying to replace with a.gup.pe with a modified lemmy instance. The lead dev (I've forgotten their name) seemed mildly interested but concluded, I think, on it being too hard / not worth it.
    
    Do you have any thoughts?
    
    I would guess that lemmy would be a better bet for replacing aguppe over friendica for two reasons:
    
    1. it's overall less complex or has fewer features than friendica (could be wrong here)
    2. It has a complete separation between the backend and frontend

    @maegul In my opinion it is important to distinguish the purpose of the two platforms:
    1) Friendica is a social network with advanced features, including that of groups/forums, a feature that has been copied from the GUP groups (but Friendica also has private forums!)
    2) Lemmy is NOT a social network (Lemmy users cannot "follow" other users), but it is a link aggregator with advanced social functions and the ability to create complex communities.
