Decentralisation. I will never use any other kind of social media again.

My killer feature is I can’t be banned for saying Peter Thiel should be turned into soup thrice.

It has a way to disable tap to collapse. I’m always accidentally collapsing threads

No ads. Incredible range of customization and third party app options. If I need to go on new Reddit for something, I get exhausted by all of their bs very quickly

"Killer feature" is silicon-valley-invrstor-ROI-speak. The fediverse is designed in opposition to central platforms funded by investors looking to make a profit. I don't want to go back to reddit because they abandoned third party clients and made another few decisions that made me mad. Lemmy today is - objectively speaking - worse than reddit was circa 5-7 years ago. The user numbers aren't the same, the way the fediverse is connected reactions aren't as snappy and the search function is way worse. If I judged this on "killer features" I might be tempted to go back to reddit. I tolerate the shortcomings because I believe centrally operated platforms have a high tendency to enshitify as soon as they realize they need to make money.

It's low key and has a slightly higher barrier to entry. This weeds out a lot of people that can't bother to try. People here seem level headed

For me, it’s the ability to disable downvotes on a community on PieFed. On Reddit, every time a sub gets popular, discussions just get downvoted into oblivion in favor of memes. There are always certain topics you simply can’t discuss without getting buried. With this feature, you don’t have to keep splitting a community into smaller and smaller fragments just to have a space where a topic is allowed. Everything gets represented based on how many people actually like the topic, without people who dislike it being able to effectively censor it and prevent others from discussing it. That’s the killer feature for me.

for me, it's the niche communities that i used to enjoy on reddit and lemmy has in abundance. my niche communities on reddit used to follow r/politics, r/socialism, r/chapotraphouse, etc. and lemmy was created by like minded people.

As a user of both, I'm now getting repelled by reddit's AI bots spreading AI and polymerket propaganda I guess the feature here is not being bombarded with suggested communities and posts. Everything here is basically intentional choice, a double edge sword but surely a healthy one But I do go back from time to time, I do want to chat with people with different political views

can't say its one thing with piefed. there are a bunch of options. I would say for the fediverse in general besides the federated nature its the control I have of my experience. filtering and blocking as I decide and if my instance blocks things and im not cool with it I can find an instance that does not block it.
