    My thought is that Piefed is too eager to curate my experience and too heavily promoted of late to be believably organic

    It reeks of an organized, astroturfed attempt to effectively centralize the fediverse.

      I don’t really agree that it’s an attempt to centralize the fediverse but I do think that the push and praise for it feels extremely unnatural, especially how people are bragging about liking and wanting the reputational features of it, and being able to hide the modlog. Like dude those are the biggest reasons people left Reddit, and now suddenly “people” are just going gaga for those same anti-features. That seems more than fishy to me…
