Piefed is cool! Lemmy is too! What's not cool? Infighting, it drives away new users. Unfortunately this seems a common sentiment... (thelemmy.club)

I don't follow the topic intensively either, but I haven't seen anyone criticize the other software

    The fact that it gives a misleading error seems like legitimate criticism tbh.

    Irelephant's OP criticism seems legit, yes. The comment replies on the other hand are chock full of misinformation - e.g. PieFed does not defederate from lemmy.ml right out of the box, nor is that nonexistent capability hard-coded into the software. I don't remember all the details but I do recall Irelephant pushing back against some of those incorrect replies.

    PieFed needs help to get better, it's not perfect. The main dev Rimu has always asked for exactly that kind of not only direct aid but even critical feedback, or see this post from a month ago: https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1660885/we-re-here-to-answer-any-questions-you-have-about-piefed-s-code. That's fairly open and transparent, it looks to me?

    I see your problem. There's a .ml in that link. If you block .ml and grad, Lemmy is a pretty nice place.

    Hoo boy, be glad then. It's literally everywhere, and all it does is drive away new users.

    It’s not literally everywhere, calm down.
