    Seems like an asshole/ego move to fork Lemmy rather than contribute to it when Lemmy is an ongoing project

        Yes, it is generally good, but if we want a viable alternative to the sub-based AI platform, then we need more users, not more platforms.

          Normally I’d agree, but the recent increase in popularity of Pixelfed among the TikTok crowd has shown me that it’s possible for one fediverse platform to succeed where a competing one failed.

      Ignoring the fact piefed isn’t a lemmy fork.

      Are you really going to argue that forking an existing project because you want to take it a different way is an asshole move?

        Also ignoring the same fact.

        I mean in a way they’re not wrong. This open source fragmentation is an actual nightmare at this point…

        Buuuuut considering who the lemmy devs are I will gladly move to Piefed when I can actually easily host my own instance.

        I’m fine with it whilst there are maintainers with the whole “transgenderism is bourgeoise decadence” stance going on. I’ve happily worked with MLs and MLMs, I’m not a fan of bigots who work backwards to fit their ideology to their prejudices.

        Only if its still compatible, otherwise no. Not “anything”
