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.
It’s a very online word, but it is absolutely used outside of the context of the Fediverse.
I would be very confused if someone said the word to me in-person, even after seeing it on Lemmy or Reddit.
Its like the first time I heard the word woke. What the hell are these people on or talking about?
It’s a word with a long history, originating from the 1950’s. It was used by leftists to quickly describe authoritarian leftists who supported Stalinism and dictatorship of the state through violent ends in the name of Communism.
Tankie simply means someone who has done wrongthink.
You guys are weird.
Better weird than boring.
I have used both tankie and vatnik (ватник?) directly and unironically, both face-to-face and online.
