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
And piefed removes your ability to choose that.
No, it doesn’t. A piefed site admin can change those defederations.
I may be reading this wrong, but it seems defederated instances it falls back to defederating hexbear/ml/grad? It runs every time site_instance_chooser_view is called.
defed_list = BannedInstances.query.filter(or_(BannedInstances.domain == 'hexbear.net', BannedInstances.domain == 'lemmygrad.ml', BannedInstances.domain == 'hilariouschaos.com', BannedInstances.domain == 'lemmy.ml')).order_by(BannedInstances.domain).all()Yes, they’re defederated by default (along with lots of other instances) but a piefed instance admin can remove them.
You do know that piefed.zip and anarchist.nexus removed it, and federate with hexbear and lemmygrad.
What other instances beyond the 4 listed in the code here are by default defederated? Afaiu if you try to 100% federate by having no defederated instances, this overrides and defederates from these 4 again.
Like 80 or so are also defederated.
How would you know this at all? You run a Piefed server, have you?
Why are you trying to lecture me about how Piefed must work when you’ve never run or looked at Piefed from an admin perspective?
I am reading it directly from the code in the repo.
Okay? And as I’ve told you, there are active Piefed instances THAT ARE FEDERATED WITH HEXBEAR, LEMMYGRAD AND HILARIOUSCHAOS. I’ve never heard anything about the system automatically re-applying those instances in the event of an instance wiping all preset defederations. Lemmy.zip, and thus Piefed.zip has no defederation and they currently federate with those instances.
Notably, lemmy.ml is listed there too - which piefed.social does not defederate from, much less anywhere else.
I’m just reading the code, no need for all caps. Have you tested it to see that, if you remove your defederated list, that it doesn’t fallback to defederating those?
from the .zip admin:

It’s a different system if I recall, however it works as it is opt-out.
Yeah, it’s just showing that indeed Piefed.zip is still federated with HB and Lemmygrad (while still informing new users about them)
