in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?🤔

    Lemmy’s devs may be tankies, but doesn’t the piefed software come pre-built with instance blocks that can’t be modified?

    Kinda sounds like the choice between a brand-new Ford Pinto and a Toyota Hilux with 800,000 miles on it

      No. It does come with a default list of blocked instances, but that is fully admin configurable.

      The block/silence list people have been referred to is piefed.social specific, which is often mixed with the software in general because it’s the “flagship instance”.
