  • Kind of a side question: I had a look at https://federation.quokk.au/ and I guess my instance (Piefed.zip) is not registered yet, would it be possible to see which instances are registered? I might have missed it to be honest

  • If you go that way, you need Google to even use Android.

    It sucks, but until we get actual wide-spread Linux phones there's not a lot individual consumers can do.

    I keep an eye on the future Graphene phone with Motorola, but even then as long as the vast majority of users will use Android/iOS, banks don't have pressure to support other systems.

  • Good point. It would be good if you could use Bizum directly from the bank app. Revolut for instance does not ask you to have a Google account to use their app.

    PieFed Flagship Instance Shadowbanning Instances from Discoverability & Other Questionable Updates

    Jump

  • The "obvious reasons" come from the drama I tried to summarize in this comment: https://lemmy.ml/post/47022286/25575766

    If we go down to the core of the issue, there's a fundamental disagreement between some instances on a niche use case: can the modlog be used for permanent slander, without giving people the option to reply?

    Dbzer0, quokk.au and anarchist.nexus instance admins didn't see the value in allowing admins to act on other instances modlogs. Rimu and other people in the Piefed staff were interested in this, hence the new feature regarding the modlog.

    There was some additional tension between Quokk.au admins and Rimu on the way he handled the AI moderation disclosure, leading to a quokk.au admin leaving the channel.

    Now remember that all of this only affects Piefed.social. I've been a Piefed.zip user for 11 months now, and that's the instance I recommend to everyone. Even from a federation perspective, Piefed.zip doesn't defederate from for instance hexbear or lemmygrad (but the Piefed instance blocking is an actual blocking compared to Lemmy's incomplete one).

    Switching between Piefed instances is as easy as it can be.

    Some people will see these decisions for Piefed.social and the new Piefed feature as "drama", but they seem to be a way to deal with what triggered the drama in the first place (slander in modlogs)

  • Exciting!

  • This may be a stupid question, but how do you decide in what community to ask questions?

    Jump

  • It would be nice if crossposting allowed people from both instance to see and answer in the same message.

    Piefed does this.

  • And nobody used that as a Reddit alternative, due to missing the federation aspect.

    What I should have said above is: you can fork Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, use that fork on an instance and connect to the Fediverse. That's the major difference with Reddit or Facebook.
