Has anyone written about the functional differences between lemmy and piefed?
Lemmy is currently more mature and written in rust for safety. But development is very slow and the developer doesn't seem that concerned. And lemmy as of five months ago still hasn't put in development for mods to get their job done (https://lemmy.world/post/25339515/14978968)
Piefed is written in python. Devs seem more active and they've focused on speeding up popular features that people want from their social media discussion site. I haven't used piefed yet. I don't know if piefed actually provides more mod support which would be a big game changer.
~~The only solid number I know is that somebody a year ago compared their resource use and lemmy was using like 12x the resources of piefed.~~
Edit: Ada hasn't noticed any resource issues, see the rest of the thread.
Isn't run by tankies
Yeah, I don't necessarily have to like the people who build the software I use. I don't like MS or Cisco, but I've built a career on their work and I'm fine with that.
Not gonna use it then
I'm out of the loop a bit. I know basically what tankies are, but I'm dumb.
Can somebody tow me in to the conflict that I've been seeing around between tankies and.... Everybody else? Because I find it hard to believe that tankies really are just fascists but for liberal values in the most extreme way. Maybe I don't totally understand the depths of how it works and the implications, and the issues that liberals but non tankies take with...tank..ie...ism...(?) (Authoritarian left?)
Like maybe people just want liberal values and want it to be more ensured that conservativism can't be as insidious, but don't ACTUALLY want to murder and eliminate a bunch of people to do it?
Are there any mature, rational, honest, good faith, and genuine discussions that I can look at or briefly be explained that also won't start a bunch of conflict in this post?
~~Maybe~~ Just pm me.
