I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.

I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.

    PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)

    I switched to PieFed a while ago, it's the same thing but better (IMO)
    It also doesn't have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)

    It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks. Try out both, see which you like.

    Damn. Trashing Lemmy on Lemmy.

    If that's trashing, most debates I've seen would be bloodbaths. e.e"

    Irony aside, if someone is politely criticized, what seems to be what the OP did, and the receiver sees it as a problem, the receiver shouldn't be a public figure.

    In a way yes, because this post is in a community running on a Lemmy instance. But at the same time: The user was did not use Lemmy to write the Lemmy trashing :)

    (And Lemmy is good. It's just, PieFed is so much better!)

    Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?

    Some additional features that PieFed has:

    • You can create posts with polls.
    • Crossposts shows comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
    • Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
    • You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of having to use NSFW.
    • You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
    • You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.

    That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/

    It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/

    Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.

    Of course it isn't perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don't like the Lemmy devs' political views.

    Though it is a bit opinionated, it's good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.

    Whatever happened to kbin -> mbin? That was another early threadiverse alternative, but I don't hear much about it anymore.

    Mbin is not as popular as Lemmy or Piefed, so nobody talks about it. Even before Piefed started being popular, Kbin was still not that popular compared to Lemmy in the past nor Piefed right now (might be an exaggeration).

    With the Kbin lead dev, Ernest, not being active enough (due to medical reasons), the community forked Kbin, which is what we know today as Mbin.

    How does one “move” to piefed? Do I keep my subscriptions and everything tied to my account?

    You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.

    You can be pretty sure anyone with 1488 or even just 88 in their user name is a nazi, for example.

    ...what if I was born in '88 and it's just my default 'seasoning number'?

    You might want to look into another number.

    Fuck that, nazis don't just get to own numbers. Drown out their noise, make their dogwhistles meaningless.

    Even tagged them, wow

    Your arrogance is beyond words, personally attacking the devs that created and tirelessly maintain the very platform you're using to write this garbage comment.

    Go use reddit, it will align with your worldview much better since it is run by corporations that sell your data for profit, making use of their god given right to "personal freedom" as defined by the CIA, and don't allow anything left of Mussolini on their platform.

    I'm genuinely sorry you have to go through all the slander and name calling people like to throw at you and Dessalines for developing wonderful software that isn't full of lib-bias censorship tools and other questionable decisions 💜🫂🫂❤️‍🔥

    Lots of people like piefed more than Lemmy. I haven't tried it much yet.
