Hi all,

I was wondering what people think about a piefed instance for SJW? I personally have issues with Lemmy devs and I think their reputation is a massive turnoff for many people looking for alternatives to corporate run social/forum services.

I understand that this instance is community run and resource considerations are probably an issue. No questions about that.

I was more thinking in purely theoretical terms.

    What makes Piefed better over all? There is already massive fragmentation it seems to me. How would this move be better? If its simple answer of not liking the reputation of Lemmy devs why not find a new instance on Piefed? I’m asking this while agreeing with you, just trying to understand.

      It’s a much better and feature rich platform for both users and moderators. Piefed is definitely a lot more than a “Threadiverse client where the developers happen to not be tankies.”

      User facing features:

      • Multi community post comment aggregation
      • User reputation system
      • More granular and sophisticated user-controlled blocking and mute system

      Mod/curator features

      • Scheduled posting (really helpful to avoid posting ~3 links within 15 min in a community)

      The developers are also a lot more responsive and proactive. I’ve had several minor features implemented following requests.
