I’m not new to link aggregators/communities, but new to those outside of Reddit. About a month ago I joined Lemmy and today my curiosity led me to Piefed, although I’ve come across the name before.
My research told me Piefed is developing at a much faster pace than Lemmy, is that true? I like the onboarding of Piefed better, because it allows you to select things you might be interested in as part of the process, which is helpful. Overall, it’s a much more guided approach.
I’ve also gotten to know it doesn’t really matter for the average user which of the platforms one joins. So I’m specifically posting this question on a community on Lemmy through my Piefed account.
I’m based in Europe if that makes a difference, which I believe it doesn’t. Nonetheless I’m happy to read your thoughts. Thanks


And there you go proving my point :)
Your software encourages an echo chamber and pile-ons of people, just like you’re doing right now, purely based on downvotes, downvotes which aren’t a representation of truth/quality but almost exclusively from not being part of the echo chamber.
What did you think putting a target on people’s backs would do? It’s almost like that was the whole point…… and going by this very comment of yours, it’s hard to argue it’s not.
There’s just you and me here, 1 person isn’t a pile on.
Sorry you’re having a bad time, I hope you feel better soon.
I said that your software promotes pile-ons, just like you were doing with that comment - but that you were personally piling on by yourself.
I’m not having a bad time, I’m just pointing out that your software has giant problems that you purposely encourage. You proved my point by doing it in this very comment section.
I hope one day you can interact with people outside of an echo chamber.
