    Considering PieFed users won’t shut the fuck up about how much better and less politically opinionated it is, yeah we should probably shout this from the rooftops.

    Reminds me of Brave browser users a bit

      “Ours is not biased and less opinionated, because it agrees with my bias and opinions.”

      This is every single Lemmy v PieFed update. No matter what platform you host or use, its just this on the grand scale of things.

      One of PyFed’s selling points was that it was easier to work with than Lemmy. It’s going to be amusing when that takes a 180 turn and people start complaining.

      Python is great for prototyping and iterating on small projects or as glue for modules written in C and C++. What it isn’t great at is linearly scaling on a single node. When the day that throwing more powerful hardware at the problem stops being an option, Kubernetes is going to walk through that door and fuck any semblance of simplicity up.

        I think Lemmy has some in-memory data structures that limit the backend to a single node, too. Also postgres is great, but Lemmy really fucked up their database performance somehow.

        But yeah large python codebases turn into spaghetti really quickly.
