in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?🤔
Lemmy’s devs may be tankies, but doesn’t the piefed software come pre-built with instance blocks that can’t be modified?
Kinda sounds like the choice between a brand-new Ford Pinto and a Toyota Hilux with 800,000 miles on it
No. It does come with a default list of blocked instances, but that is fully admin configurable.
The block/silence list people have been referred to is piefed.social specific, which is often mixed with the software in general because it’s the “flagship instance”.
what instances are blocked? anyone able to point me where I can see this?
They at least used to be toggle-able along with all the ideologically driven features. But the fact they’re in the codebase at all is concerning.
Which one is the Hilux? That’s definitely the one I want.
