Rimu recently started a new rant thread. I copied the response of the person they had targeted and in less than a minute Rimu had deleted the comment.
This is the comment Rimu did not want people being able to see: https://feddit.uk/post/53824748/26875911

good news, nobody who like Piefed has to use it. we’ve gotten PyLova to the point it’s running Quokk.au and Anarchist.Nexus, and we’ve not only removed the censorship and the bias, but we’ve also improved the UI, made some new themes, and most important of all patched some security vulnerabilities.
at this point it’s better than Piefed in every way.
Just curious, but why not use Lemmy instead?
there’s a lot of features that PyLova has that Lemmy does not.
For me in particular:
<img height="auto">Other stuff idcb:
one of the biggest for me is the ability to disable downvotes for people who aren’t from trusted servers. we have a lot of :slopper: downvoting anything genAI they see. restricting downvotes to exclusively FAF instances wiped out the problem.
I use the term “rank” now, because pylova/fed already implemented comment voting, as in, if you post a question, anyone can vote for answers. It’s meant to give pylova stackoverflow behaviours: best voted answer get pinned up. Ranking a comment or post doesn’t affect how folks pin comments on a question post.
If I wanted to take advantage of this would I need to post from an anarchist.nexus account, or would the community have to be on anarchist.nexus?
the community would need to be on a pylova/piefed instance, but you do not need to be on that instance.
I see, thanks for the reply.
What’s the differences between PyLova and Lemmy? Why use it over Lemmy?
PyLova has a lot more features than Lemmy does.
More features, faster updates.
This is my first hearing of PyLova, could I get a rundown? Is it a fork of piefed? Seperate project? Are there things it has that piefed doesnt, or things piefed has that PyLova doesnt currently? What’s the state of app support (I assume not there presently, which is totally fair)
It’s a fork of piefed that’s currently more feature advanced. If you scroll through the comments on this post somebody else posted more details about said features.
App support is identical to piefed, since the api is the same.
