There is some features that are needed, like the dismal state of mod tools, and moving communities to other servers.

I know. It just reminds me of them.
They're not breaking things, they just have development that doesn't move at the speed of molasses.
I doubt it would get shutdown, all the communities there would have to shut down.
So, are all the posts and stuff on your instance gone?
Were you able to migrate the DB?
join.piefed.social has a list somewhere.
Piefed being written in python means nothing.
Instagram and threads (and parts of the clusterfuck that is facebook) are written in python and seem to have scaled fine.
Performance is negligable -- the main bottleneck is I/O.
If a new python release breaks compatibility, Piefed can keep using the old version of python.
But python isn't the webs scripting engine. If it was, browsers would have support for python3 and 2.
- being able to move communities.
too heavily promoted of late to be believeably organic
No. Its promoted because of its fast development and extra features.
Piefed is decentralised itself.
i wouldn't say they invented the threadiverse, groups have existed on the fediverse since diaspora, but they certainly popularised it.
Diversifying the amount of software in any network is always a good thing though.
I just took another look at it,
