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?
I did a code review just about a week ago, see https://hexbear.net/comment/6827649 for what I found.
Kindly pass this on, but this is actually defunct code that is not actually functionally active on Piefed.
Mostly everything else being complained about is objecting to Piefeds attempts to weeding out spammers, trolls and AI spammers with arguably punitive detective functions - but the purpose is to mitigate that.
What does that mean.
It doesn’t work even if he wanted it to. Rimu himself didn’t even add it. He’s not the only contributor to the code.
Ok, thanks for telling me.
Also I have said nothing about Rimu. And I know he isn’t the only contributor.
Some of your code review is not understanding that Piefed handles things differently. So in the context of blocking, if someone blocks you on piefed - you simply can’t reply to them anymore. This isn’t out of sync with how many services operate. Now Lemmy does not operate like this, but the disconnect between how Lemmy and Piefed handle it cause discrepencies like this.
This code exists, but is unused to my knowledge. Certainly for Piefed.social.
I also do not see this as inherently bad as it can be used to stop slurs.
This is anti-AI checking functions. Most of the other things you refer to generally here within the code are simply mitigation tools against spam, trolls and AI posters.
wjs018 says it is in use, https://lemmy.ml/post/42044700/23491105 / https://piefed.social/comment/9793872
I hope that piefed will publish the blocked phrases in the api at some point, like lemmy publishes the slur regex in /site. (This isn’t trying to be “look lemmy is better,” I mean this)
And maybe it wouldn’t be a problem if we weren’t for federation. The result is a desync, where either all but the instance with the blocker can see the comment, or only the blocked users instance can see the comment.
Yes, it’s a contradiction with how lemmy handles the block function vs. how piefed currently handles it.
No. I can reply to my piefed.social account with the piefed.zip account it has blocked.
Then there must be a bug.
