How different are the devs? Is it just a fork where they regularly pull the upstream lemmy? Or ground up?
This account is getting pretty old and about due for a nuking and dessalines seems to be speedrunning being the tankie musk (right down to surrounding himself with bot-friends). Lemmy is still good enough software but looking for an offramp if you catch my drift.
To be clear: I don’t give a fuck if someone identifies as communist. I disagree (more in the vicinity of demsoc, personally) but people have had more impractical ideologies.
The issue is that dessalines et al are very much tankies. People who will say and do whatever it takes to say that china and russia are correct because both of those countries used to identify as communist (how long either actually was is up for debate). And that tends to manifest as actively supporting the invasion of Ukraine and the state sponsored ethnic cleansing by, among other horrors, rape of (among multiple ethnic groups) the Uyghurs
Piefed isn’t run by cringe tankies who have diminished the struggle of an actual revolutionary by soiling their namesake with the view from an air conditioned computer chair.
Also, piefed isn’t run by cringe tankies who call trans people bourgeoisie western pink washing, and then goes around begging for donations as if we owe them anything besides scorn.
What’s the difference? Can I see piefed communities through Lemmy? Or do I need a different account and/or app?
Piefed has more features and different devs. From an user perspective they’re not very different.

PieFed main devs support human rights.
PieFed is not a fork of Lemmy. It is a different software, but able to share content with Lemmy using the ActivityPub protocol.
