The Fediverse is not like email, it’s more like the various BBS networks of the 80s: Tons of anarchy, chaos, StarTrek, politics, lunacy, StarTrek… and cool as hell.
Please keep it this way.
That place looks pretty cool for sure!
What’s broken besides piefed?
I didn’t know piefed was broken, can you explain?
I prefer the analogy of a fleet of ships - free-traders and pirates alike. Some captains refuse to pass along messages to other captains, and that’s alright, because consent should matter, after all, and someone’s “right to free speech” does (or rather should) not trump my right to not have to listen to their crap, nor my right if I were a captain to not have to platform it.
So you pick a captain that shares your values, or perhaps you become one of your own.
PieFed has made huge strides in cross-community visibility (multi-communities and combining comments across cross-posts), and in explaining what each instance is all about (see https://piefed.social/auth/instance_chooser), and in migration of whole entire communities between instances.
The Fediverse is not like email. It’s like self-hosting your own email server. 🤔😝 But it’s getting better. And people will put up with complexity if they see the value behind doing so - it’s just that with so little content, and what content there is being so toxic, especially to newcomers, that it’s not worth much of a hassle for them to keep trying whenever they hit a hurdle. Lowering the barriers will help enormously with that, as will increasing the level of enrichment to power through.
Stop trying to sell me on it; I’m already here!
Yes. The fediverse is so great I’ve stopped telling people about it.
We fedis know how to keep a secret.Too much growth will kill the vibe in this place.
First rule of Fediverse…
Oh, I can exist in polite society just fine.
It’s just that I don’t want to.
“Polite society” ain’t.
Greetings!
Hello
Crosspost comment consolidation helps with that issue.
Already available on Piefed, planned on Lemmy 1.0.

How does this interact with moderation? I never considered that viable because how wildly… Shall we say diverse .ml, .world, and the rest of the fediverses’ moderation schemes are.
Each community’s comments are separated although still on the same page. Here is a good example - https://piefed.social/c/technology/p/1765981/google-sent-personal-and-financial-information-of-student-journalist-to-ice
Oh, that’s neat.
Thanks for the example :)
I must be missing something because I only see two main comments on that post and the sub comments.
I’m on voyager app tho so that’s likely a limiting feature even tho it’s supposed to be working on that comparability.
Can you show me a screenshot of what you meant to show?
You could just pop it open in your browser… don’t even need an account.
Hypothetically yes, but I only ever accessed fediverse through non-apps briefly before I swapped to the app. I was part of the Reddit app-based exodus. That was the whole reason I came here; to support app devs.
If it’s not reflected in apps, lots of people will never see it. That’s all. I can go out of my way to see it but I don’t see it in my normal interface. Voyager is still working on full piefed support
I think some of us are just kind of used to checking things directly since certain features and concepts may not yet be implemented in things like clients due to being, essentially, the bleeding edge.
If anyone’s curious:
appeared online in the early 2020’s
I still cannot comprehend that it’s now the late 2020s. FFS, it’s 2022
Video showing them. I wish they would show the inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3P2USPFDcE
I could exist in polite society, but why would I want to?
If it was polite I’d be existing there right now
This is funny but it’s a very unfair comparison. That neighbourhood is fully abandoned with exactly 0 residents, and you know it would probably be shit even if it was finished as planned. The fediverse has at least some real people and is actually a fun place.
To be honest? For me it’s the fun type of broken-and-hilarious. Once I got used to the Fediverse, most of the things I could complain about it are found in the equivalent closed platforms.
If u squint ur eyes it looks like a klan gathering
Then don’t squint your eyes: problem solved 😂🤪
Whoever is behind those projects is the sort of kid who’d retell the same joke over and over expecting it to be as funny as the first time.
