PieFed becoming a lot more akin to an evolved Reddit than Lemmy lately with the recent updates
lundi
AFAIK there was another exodus after they announced to be training AI based on Reddit content, another when they went public, another for starting heavily censoring more the platform (some people a while ago were getting banned just for saying Luigi or upvoting posts with it)
PieFed has wikis and flairs for communities, Feed feature similar to how people can create their own custom feeds on Bluesky and Topics feature to browse content by subject, you can filter posts by keywords (Lemmy has it too but not on the default interface), warning label by the side of the name of people with too many negative karma/points/reputation to make it easier to spot trolls and some other fun things if you ever want to try it out although theres no mobile app for iOS afaik yet if thats a dealbreaker for you, but theres for android https://codeberg.org/freamon/pferd/
Good choice, its a lot better IMO it just takes getting used to how to browse around specific communities if you are searching for one from when you were on Lemmy but so far everything else is better, just missing TOTP 2FA but its not critically urgent for now anyway. Take that as I dont moderate communities though I'm not very aware of the differences of moderation of communities between PieFed and Lemmy
I had no idea Duolingo was assisting ICE, what a shame, theres ** LanguageTransfer ** which is opensource if anyone is interested
