PieFed Users Surge!

i heard its being promoted on reddit, could be from there.

The social web is the grown up sounding alternative I guess.

People will think the social Web is existing social networks

support? backing? idk

That also encompasses microblogs like mastodon, and bluesky.

I don’t see why it has to end in verse. Like, boardnet sounds good (in my opinion), board network, because Lemmy/piefed is a network of boards.

I kinda like that actually

That’s not what i meant to say, taking a closer look and trying to undestand it all is obbiously good.
But graphs have a big glance value and should be able to convey key information at a glance.

Please don’t be bots…

Maybe this is showing my age and the association will not materialize in the minds of younger people, but boardnet makes me think of a bunch of old-school phpBB message board forums.

Let’s see if piefed is as open as it claims to be. The creator and maintainer actually injects their own opinion into the source code. There are so many deny lists and a social score built into the system.

Piefed is great at putting in new features and making everything pretty. But it’s so opinionated, you’re better off on Reddit, imo.

Almost all of these are able to be turned off.

By “social credit” you just mean a toned down version of Reddits karma (that doesn’t track positive score)?

But lightning is faster than rockets… What? This doesn’t make any sense at all!

Personally I’m fine with a comment getting removed if all they replied with is “this.” Sure that’s opinionated, but it’s a good opinion.

friendly like community or software experience?

It can be turned off anyway, most of the others do turn it off.

lemmy with extra censorship tools

thats fair enough. I get the importance. Like this was to me easy enough to read but I know under different circumstances it can create a kind of mental gymnastics where its like, man, this should not take this much to figure out. Its not exactly the same scenario but I had a park near me put up a vertical map on the mouth of an east/west trail on the south side. The map follows the standard thing where up is north. I hit them up requesting the move the map structure to the other side of the trail because its exhausting turning everything around in your head where if it faced north everything would line up more naturally mentally.

But…there’s no pie!!!

Every time I hear “censorship” cried in relation to piefed, I think of the same cries with Voat, another Reddit clone/refuge. It never compromised on that.

And it turned into a (now long dead) toxic wasteland. As that ethos smothered all the interesting niche communities.

IMO, the #1 Fediverse dev priority should be UX that discourages toxicity. That’s what will keep it alive. A militantly, forcibly “unbiased” UX is a quaint old internet ideal, yet it always seems to snowball into an unsustainable toxic monoculture.

So, if piefed uses “opinionated” defaults to stave that off, good.
