    Rimu is not a Zionist. It's this wrong accusation that escalated the tensions. I'll clarify my comment.

  • What does this picture suggest to you ?

    Jump

  • You might have posted both pictures in the same post. It seems strange to have two very similar pictures as two different posts.

  • Those removal happened in the context of a mod calling Rimu a zionist (which he's not)

    It didn't happen out of nowhere.

  • Others are doing the same thing. This isn’t “weird” or bad judgment. I don’t like Kaplan but they did nothing wrong here.

    What I'm saying is that even though admins know there were some opinions in the software, they still started Piefed instances. And that's in a world where Lemmy exists.

    In other words, every instance admins assesses whether the additional Piefed features make it worth it to accept the opinionated aspect of the software.

    That's the main value of Piefed here, and that's why so many people prefer it compared to Lemmy. All the features people wanted, be it users, mods, admins, Rimu delivered them, and fast.

    They’re still doing the bad thing.

    Doing something, even imperfectly, but listening to the users, still seem valuable to a lot of people. Some people obviously dislike it a lot, and expect the software to be written be a perfect person, but the devs behind Lemmy, Piefed and Mbin all have their flaws.

  • Comparing a single open source developer to one of the biggest tech corporations worldwide doesn't really seem relevant.

    Adds in things the higher ups felt was needed.

    Who are the higher ups in this case? There's no Piefed board of management or investors to answer to.

    All of that being said, I'm looking forward the day Pievolution can be run easily, then every instance can make their own choices, and these endless debates will end.

  • The code is open source, nobody bothers to read it. If that's supposed to be obfuscation, then that's not really effective.

  • Exactly! Enjoy, you'll see they are quite nice

    Jump

  • I guess the month long conversation I had with Kaplan, head admin of Lemmy.world, about unfucking Piefed because Rimu filled it with his opinionated garbage didn’t happen.

    So Kaplan knew about the "garbage", but still wanted to go on and keep running Piefed.world?

    Either Kaplan's judgement is supposed to be relied on, or not, but that argument seems weird to say the least.

    which can be opted, granted, but after a HEATED discussion in the piefed matrix

    So it is opted. That people have to convince Rimu to make changes isn't really an argument. People have to also convince the Lemmy devs to make changes on a regular basis, with less success.

  • Piefed is infected with Rimu’s extreme opinionated garbage and he only backs down and puts them into a toggle after someone notices it.

    I personally prefer Rimu taking feedback into account and then making changes than Lemmy devs bluntly closing feature requests widely upvoted by the community because "reasons"

    Let's be honest here, it's not like there are so many options we can choose from.

    Also, the example you gave about shows more than anything else that Rimu did change his mind.

    "All the settings in this screenshot are off by default"

  • I definitely feel the same, life has been a bit busy lately, and there are definitely a few that you posted that looked good! Probably later

  • For those who have tried MBin, is it a good Lemmy alternative?

    Jump

  • I have an Mbin account I don't really use, because I prefer Piefed features (personal feed similar to multireddits, comments consolidation) compared to Mbin (microblogging support).

    It's really a personal decision.

    Jump

  • old posts from various subs routinely show up when I browse by MultiReddit.

    Do you know about the personal feed feature on Piefed? They are basically multireddits. I'm asking because I think I've seen you mentioning it elsewhere.

    Jump

  • Comment consolidation really isn’t a solution, and is an amazingly short-sighted fix.

    From a user perspective, I really enjoy being able to see all the comments on a post on

    As a community builder, I also find it nice that wherever a link is posted, users will be able to see the comments. It feels less like communities are competing against each other.

    This actively works against everything we need to actually create a space that appeals to people who aren’t here already.

    The top issue potential new joiners raise is content and comment fragmentation.

    Politics obviously should stay separated, but that's the minority case compared to the vast majority of clone communities.

  • From the sidebar

    Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).

    News and politics is not a part of this community,

    They are indeed not, would you mind discussing those on another community? If it's something Piefed/Lemmy isn't short of, it's communities to discuss politics

  • A couple, quick thoughts on sustaining faltering communities--

    Jump

  • People often start new coms when a reasonably similar com already exists. Reasons often are hyper specific bordering on absurdity.

    The vast majority of newly promoted communities on !newcommunities@lemmy.world or !communitypromo@lemmy.ca already exist, but people want to create their own for whatever reason. It can get tiring as a witness.

    To fix this you need to go and implement robust cross posting for Lemmy, akin to hashtags, and robust support in all front ends in use.

    Piefed has comments consolidation for cross posts which really helps. Unfortunately the Lemmy devs are against the idea.
