So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.
What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?
Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.
On which one should we put our weight?
Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781
My understanding is that PieFed gives you access to everything on Lemmy without directly supporting tankies.
Tankies imo is such a creepy new word that came out of nowhere. Do real people actually use this word?
I’ve never seen or heard a person in real life call someone a tankie, its seemingly exclusively used online.
Do you ever see many people in real life support brutal dictatorships killing citizens?
I’ve never seen a Nazi in person, but I sure as fuck aren’t going to pretend they don’t exist. I do hang out in leftist groups in real life and see many tankies and have heard the term used in person.
I have used both tankie and vatnik (ватник?) directly and unironically, both face-to-face and online.
The fuck kinda misinformation is this?
Tankies has been a word used by those of us on the left to describe the authoritarian leftists who supported the Soviet’s sending in tanks to kill student protesters in Hungary in 1956. Oh and it’s not new, we’ve been saying it for 70 years.
