I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.

I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.

Some additional features that PieFed has:

You can create posts with polls.
Crossposts shows comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of having to use NSFW.
You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.

That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/

Best feature, a working block feature.

All communities with the word ‘meme’ in the name are automatically flagged as low quality but admins can override this on a case-by-case basis.

ok you got me interested

EDIT :

Default Blocks – Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Nazi instances are blocked out of the box.

wait what? I might not have the whole lore but this reads as "communism" is not allowed. I guess that's a feature for some people.
