I heard piefed is something to check out.
I’m growing weary of this kremlin puppet.
Edit: who doesn’t like to hear the main dev is a crappy tankie?
I tried it (olio.cafe). It’s usable now, but not as mature as Lemmy yet, and client software support is more limited.
Summit, Voyager and “Mlem” (don’t know what it is) was recommended for piefed browsing by Blaze, and the first two are solid softs IMO.
The only place I hear about him is here, so why not leave this community and avoid ml communities?
Because the admins of .ml are the devs behind Lemmy. (At least some of them including the one mentioned here.)
OK, but what does that have to do with using Lemmy? Are you worries they’re going to taint the code or something?
They want to use Lemmy but not support the people that make Lemmy, but also don’t use Piefed.
If they hate him, stop using his stuff for free. No one is making them use it, Tankies can’t force you to run the code or click the URL.
Obviously do what you want.
My point is I just don’t see how using Lemmy supports the person making it. I guess it kind of makes the platform more popular, but it’s not like there are any ads or anything here, so the actual benefit they get from each user is incredibly small. Just don’t donate to the devs and instead donate to whatever instance you use.
I… Am on piefed though?
I’m not the “sticking my head in the sand” type of person, and it’s the main Lemmy dev.
There are other platforms that use the same (not tankie fueled) underlying protocol. Lemmy isn’t something special per se.
Now, why on earth are you defending that type? I mean even slightly?
He wasn’t defending, he was asking a question.
In what way did I defend them? I’m merely saying that if you don’t like lemmy.ml, don’t use communities hosted there. I largely avoid their communities and my enjoyment of Lemmy went way up.
My point is there’s a lot of good here, so if you don’t like the bad, don’t join the bad.
True, but the main dev being a tankie still itches me more and more, so hopefully piefed will solve that, because as you say, there is lots of good here.
Classic ml activities, always good for a chuckle
Is it even possible to start a social networking site without being a terrible person?
MySpace Tom? Literally the only one I can think of…
PieFed head dev is a great guy, as far as I can tell.
