RIP fediversenews! 🪦 Long live fediversenews! 👑
Interestingly, without the "!" it doesn't show up as a group in Friendica. It's a user that doesn't exist so there's no way to follow it from the tag. You have to click through then drop the url in search.
What do you find to be the biggest improvements in mod tools at piefed over lemmy?
The biggest problem with Friendica groups is that when someone replies to a group post, the group actor boosts all replies to people's timelines -- which proves problematic for people running microblogging software like Mastodon. This also makes popular Friendica groups highly attractive to spammers and trolls because they can say whatever in comments, and now 2.6K people are receiving those messages in their home feeds. It is also very difficult to remove comments and ban people in a Friendica group.
What I like about Piefed is that you can delete and edit anything in a community, ban people easily or unban them, review reports, mark reports as resolved / ignored. And most important, all those tools are easily accessible.
