It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

Thank goodness piefed exists :)
I hope we’ll get more options in the future as well - I’m working on my own alternative at the moment :)
Don’t know what Piefed is
If I’m not mistaken, it’s a parallel project to Lemmy that’s also based on ActivityPub for the fediverse. Think of it as a different terminal by different devs for the same communities.

So it’s more than just a different instance?
There are some Growing Pains at the moment. But there were with Lemmy as well. I hope to see them better resolve soon enough. And I’ve been enjoying it plenty myself.
Still waiting for Boost to support it (which is planned), then I’m jumping ship.
Voyager started recently. And already does 90% of what’s necessary. I really would like to see it add in the way piefed combines all comment sections from every cross posted instance of a link. That’s the one big thing I’m missing at the moment. But it’s also a fairly big change under the hood I’m sure
Been getting my meds in order so I have the wherewithal and organization to make the move myself. Had to move one comm early, and it seems pretty functional so far. Have to admit that I’m not thrilled about the color schemes available, but that’s a small price to pay for the eventual avoidance of supporting tankie ghouls.
The only reason I have yet to switch is because I can’t find a “hide bot accounts” button, as I can’t stand seeing bot posts/comments.
In “Block and Filters” you can block bots
All, or 1 at a time? Because I did not find an option to block them all, automatically when I checked.
I see a “Hide completely” option in “hide posts from bots”
I was about to thank you again on my piefed.ca account, but I could not find this comment chain (starting from pugjesus’s comment), and after turning off bot/nsfl filters, I can’t even see the post anymore on piefed.
You can try to retrieve the post remotely using the search (bottom button on the search page)
Good to know, I could not find that last I checked!
What? You don’t think 1970 / 80 was the peak of UI design? That you can ever have enough imitation green phosphor on black? LOL yes it’s pretty bare at the moment. But the project itself is new enough and its come along fast enough that I think we can forgive it for now. It’s definitely promising how widely it’s being picked up and deployed.
Switching over account data was really easy at least. I think Voyager has it and I know Interstellar does. I used Interstellar to migrate all my Subs Etc. I saw a piefed has a link to migrate whole communities. Though I haven’t tried that yet. I’m assuming it does more than just creating similarly named communities. But I haven’t looked into it.

Okay, replicating old posts, comments and even transferring some of the members?! That’s, impressive.
Posts, not comments unfortunately at the time, I think that has changed since
