Yup i’ve started using a piefed account to complement my lemmy one. As more featured become fully compatible with voyager and the ability to turn downvotes off becomes a thing on piefed I think I’ll make a complete switch.
I don’t think they bring much and a lot of the most “hivemind” behaviours are linked to downvotes.
Someone having a shitty opinion just shows as 0 upvotes anyways so has the same effect.
Plus having downvotes disabled conditions me to basically ignore shitty takes instead of downvoting them and often replying which IMO has made my lemmyverse experience better.
Also, it makes me a little less worried to post what I truly think without conforming to other people’s stuff. Since I don’t care if I get downvoted.
So Piefed absorbed a lions share of the lemm.ee refugees it looks like?
that checks out, the closure announcement was made on the 4th of june
in the meantime blahaj also opened a piefed instance, so some of the new users came from blahaj
Lemmy.zip opened up piefed.zip as well.
I’m on piefed.ca! Love to see Piefed gaining traction. It’s a much better experience.

Ty for the insight! I suppose it just makes the experience generally less confrontational.
