    • Do you want microblogging alongside regular forums?
      • YES: Choose mbin.
      • NO:
        • Do you want a native app?
          • YES: Choose Lemmy… for now.
          • NO: Choose PieFed.

    I’ve been very interested in PieFed and kept a close watch on it; the only reason I’m on Lemmy is the lack of a stable API on PieFed (which means no apps). Here are some of the reasons I believe PieFed is superior than Lemmy:

    • More lightweight to host; imo makes it “more decentralized” since the requirements to self-host are less and thus available to more people.
    • New and innovative features
    • Responsive developer
    • PieFed is opinionated to foster a positive environment. The platform itself is designed in some places to be unattractive to tankies, nazis, trolls, transphobics, etc.
    • I don’t believe in seperation of the art from the artist. The artist somehow always profits from the art, be it donations, paywalls, etc. The developers of Lemmy are tankies, and one of them is a transphobe.

    This idea is actually something I wish were true. The main challenge would be preventing accidental touches while still registering intentional touches. However, if that issue gets (mostly) solved, this idea could be very cool.

    Imagine having contextual buttons for everything instead of the usual static volume/power buttons. e. g. You open your Lemmy client of choice, and there are side buttons for making posts, making comments, etc. We can take this even further: imagine you used the button to compose a comment, and now the contextual buttons change again to allow you to format your comment (like a WYSIWYG editor).

    Also, realistically, if this were to be built, the edges would be curved, instead of the blocky slab shown.
