  I wonder, would these users still use PieFed if they have seen its codebase? Maybe it can be one day but right now it’s 100% not production-grade software. Nonsensical hardcoded bans and blocks everywhere. >1000 lines of Python in a single file. Uses regex to parse HTML. The list goes on…

    If the code is bad, you realise only coders would notice it from reading that?

    And most people are not coders. What hardcoded bans are you referring to here? The 4chan one that can be disabled?

      If the code is bad, you realise only coders would notice it from reading that? That’s what makes it particularly insidious. The people who didn’t read the code have no idea what they’re in for.

      What hardcoded bans are you referring to here? The 4chan one that can be disabled?

      How about this one? ‘enoughmuskspam’ and ‘political_weirdos’ are hardcoded banned.

      Also “can be disabled” does not excuse hardcoded filtering. If they’re serious they could implement a config system in an hour.

    Maybe it can be one day but right now it’s 100% not production-grade software.

    Why should we only use “production-grade software” software on the Fediverse? Isnt the beauty that we can use all kind of software as long as it interacts decently via the relevant protocols?

    Also I am already using Lemmy, which is pretty known for its opinionated devs. This does not seem to be anything that would stop, especially when I can actually read the code as its in a language I can atleast understand somewhat

      Lemmy, which is pretty known for its opinionated devs

      The opinions of the devs have so far (at least as far as I know) not spread into the actual code though.

      I just want to make sure people know what they’re getting into before they decide to use PieFed. If you know about the issues and decide to use it, I totally respect that decision.

    Sadly refactoring is frowned upon in a lot of places as it takes away from adding new stuff, especially when necessary to prevent the code from getting worse

      cant be reddit bans, they have largely laid off the massive bans. although i have heard they upped thier methods of detecting would be ban evasion methods.

    One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.

      The 3 posts I made on reddit promoting the Fediverse and PieFed got over 300,000 views together.

      More people getting involved in fedigrow could see much higher numbers, but let’s not spam.

    That was an interesting read.

    Seems like piefed should fix a lot of that. For some of it, at least make it configurable and not hard coded. But that blocked user stuff seems like a real problem.

    source

    • rimu@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Most of it is configurable and off by default. But the haters don’t mention that.

      As i asked there, which is the 4chan image blocking as the checks there simply say images from 4chan cause reputation loss.

      I know you are amazing at promoting the fediverse but feels odd to see you ignore all the issues people bring up about piefed

    Piefed has so many issues. It’s great at adding new features, but it’s so bad at free speech.

      A bunch of tankies whining around anti-spam/bot, anti-AI and defederating from tankie instances. I see no problem here.

      Deal breaker for me. Although Lemmy is not all that tolerant of dissenting views either I hear.

    Piefed has some neat features unique to it, such as:

    • a very nice gallery view for image heavy communities.
    • the ability to combine comments from multiple communities under one post, if the same link was posted to all of them. You can see an example of that here (notice how the comments have dividers for each community).
    • the ability to create and subscribe to a pre-made list of communities, sorta like a multi-reddit.

  I’ve been on the microblogging side of the fediverse for some time (the misskey style forks), but really started to miss forum style discussion. 8 joined Lemmy and realized that a huge portion of comments simply weren’t displaying on that instance, so I moved to Piefed and am really happy with it so far. There’s a lot of features that I like.

  Right now i don’t see any movement in the amount of donations (patreon, liberapay). so i am not kinda skeptical this will end up being meaningful growth.

  • Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I wouldn’t expect new users to donate within their first few days on the site

    Okay? It’s still a massive surge of new users relative to older growth.

      Which is not useful if those users are people who try out the platform and then abandon it, or worst bots for state actors.

    Donating is great, sure, and they’re probably more likely to stick around if they paid, but just because someone isn’t donating doesn’t mean they won’t be active in the comments or by making posts. Not to mention they might spread the word to friends, some of whom might donate.
