Been using Lemmy for a few months, what's different with Piefed? (retrofed.com)

A lot of people talk up PieFed, and I think I found a community I like (RetroFed, they're based around retro gaming, but they're also new, so I'm not really trying to push them per se) so I signed up with them... so, aside from looking a little different, what's really different here?

Not really looking for a "PieFed vs Lemmy" debate kind of thing, more of a "hey check this out" vibe.

I really like the bidirectional blocking, I am no longer at the mercy of my instance defedrating with ml, and people I block also cannot vote on or interact with my post.

    When I was on Lemmy, I set it up to ignore all vote counts. Sort everything by new and hide the vote numbers. I see your reply has 1 vote (yours) and if I upvote it (I did) it goes up to 2. So I would want to hide that number. I want the ability to vote without being influenced by the votes of others. I never really thought about people I block. I only block those who are excessively rude, or post things I do not want to see in places I don't expect to see them. I'm glad people you block can't vote on your post, but if someone I block replies, I don't really mind as long as I don't get the notification. Let others see it and vote/act accordingly (as long as they don't point it out to me, that's rude).
