What is PieFed
PieFed follows a similar format as Lemmy and Mbin. Those that are familiar with Lemmy will find it very similar, with some additional features including topic lists, optional private voting, new mod and admin tools, crosspost de-duplication, community wikis, etc. Thanks to how the fediverse works, you can use either lemmy.ca or piefed.ca to interact freely!
We will put together some guides on our non-profit's website at some point. In the meantime, we have created !newtopiefed@piefed.ca for us to learn from each other. There is also the official !piefed_help@piefed.social community which has a similar purpose.
We have done some testing and we are learning as we go, but please bear with us while this new platform gets going ๐

This is ActivityPub, not Reddit. It is optional, democratic and auditable.
People are not sending posts/comment to be approved first, you can post whatever you want. It is a plus if the community found a bad faith actor and tagged them. So I am not forced to see their disinformation campaign.
We all know that most people use downvotes as a disagree button not just to suppress hate speech and any other really harmful opinions. There is a report button for that. Even an opinion based comment could be heavily downvoted
