i use both and don't give a shit. π€·
They each are good in different ways. Lemmy's search is superb - far better than Reddit's or especially PieFed's. Though PieFed has solved the community discovery and onboarding issues for new users.
Imho PieFed seems unquestionably better for a new user, whereas Lemmy is typically more suited for an established user of the Threadiverse, unless they want one of the new features that only PieFed offers (i.e., most people don't need to move, especially if they use a mobile app).

Big cringe, not even hexbear admins do that.
I've never noticed it that extreme - perhaps I've just blocked the right people - but I always saw it more like this:
It's fairly recent, mostly from people doing a code audit, and possibly emboldened by the upcoming Lemmy 1.0. See e.g. https://lemmy.ml/post/42339089/23619001.
Personally I believe such criticisms will only strengthen the code by polishing some of its roughest spots, increasing transparency by exposing additional configuration options and the like. The PieFed devs are actively soliciting such genuine feedback - see e.g. https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1660885/we-re-here-to-answer-any-questions-you-have-about-piefed-s-code.
piefed exists becase the lemmy creators are leftist.
your standard anticommunism, nothing different than the norm really.
I can't say I know too much about piefed, however I did notice that a lot of the worst users I knew from Lemmy moved to piefed so that was enough for me.
I got on lemmy because I just wanted to ditch reddit. I can't be bothered to set this convoluted shit up again.
Thats pretty much where I am lol. I have an account and I can see both lemmy and piefed content, good enough for me!
What's not cool? Infighting, it drives away new users.
That's an ironic comment, given how loaded the image you've included is...
The Lemmy devs have arguably pretty worse philosophy but dev with a sense of integrity and don't inject their politics into their software.
The Piefed devs have arguably much better philosophy but do directly build that into their app development.
I'm sorry, I don't think that's an improvement.
Agreed. They're both very good. And there's no need to bring one down to uplift the other.
Feud posting is cringe. Everyone can pick a instance thats best for them. Who cares if its not for you.
Me, who didn't even recognise the icon on the left:
Why is this blue clock guy so mean?
Users of either means content for both so doing team sports over this seems foolish.
Itβs concern-trolling and astroturfing. There are lots of proprietary platforms that must feel threatened by the Fediverse so itβs no surprise that the classic divide and conquer strats are making an appearance.
Just use whatever platform you want and donβt feed the trolls.
PS: memes like this just serve to perpetuate and exacerbate the flamewars, so bravo if thatβs what you were aiming for.
I don't follow the topic intensively either, but I haven't seen anyone criticize the other software
