I honestly think next time we should switch Mastodon out for something else (still Fediverse/ActivityPub of course).

We've already given Reddit users enough chances to try out Mastodon, we should see if the general Reddit users accept something else better. But I'm not experienced with microblogging at all, it's not my thing. Hopefully something with a discovery algorithm.

We've seen good results from promoting PieFed instead of Lemmy, so switching it up does work.

Hello and thank you for making the post! I just joined from reddit and have some questions. I really want to avoid some of the tankies I heard about it on the redditalternative posts.

One of the lemmy servers recommended had this admin and he made this comment recently about piefed

I feel like [PieFed] moving from moderation to sort of oppressive or authoritarian territory once you're literally building a social credit system into your software. If you want that, sure use PieFed. I don't want that, so I won't.

So is PieFed the tankie software or what? I dont' really want to use software that is going to build a social credit score on me or build barriers to actually use the site

Loops is mid. The community is pretty inactive, and the iOS build is quite buggy and lacking.

You can stream on peertube. Never tried it though.

All due respect to Mastodon but BlueSky is way more viable right now.

Agreed and activitypub is great for creating a indie web kind of feel but it’s just a flawed model that brings the power dynamics of Reddit mods but with 0 checks to counteract it.
