25 days agoAs a contributor to PieFed (by my count, 7 of those bullet points in rimu’s post were done by me)…there is not more to this story as this is just some rando’s perceived grievances. If there was such animosity with the lemmy devs, why would piefed.social remain federated with lemmy.ml? There are definitely ideological differences between the devs of the two platforms, but the working relationship has been cordial and I truly believe everybody involved is aligned in the goal of promoting federated alternatives to corporate social media.
I don’t think so, but I wasn’t working on it. Tagging @rimu@piefed.social for awareness.
To do this, they would need to be an admin running a modified version of the software no? If that was really happening with any kind of regularity, it would surely be grounds for defederation.
In any case, if this were to become an issue, then I am sure we can change it. We have already had to change how community flair federates a few times to try to keep up with lemmy’s PRs on the feature to try to make sure it is compatible.
