it defeats the entire purpose of Lemmy

Piefed is a separate software, so more aligned with lemmy than a specific instance. Moot point right now, as there’s only a handful of instances.

I think the real answer is less advocating against Piefed (which is getting some preference thanks to QoL additions for community management, I think), but rather advocate for some of the larger communities moving to Piefed to spin up a whole new instance.

As an aside, it seems like mbin isn’t getting any love throughout this process.

Not to mention the cost savings difference. Developer salaries make a ChatGPT subscription look like a bargain. C-level salaries make racks of dedicated hardware to run local models look like one.
