Something to help people lead to the Fediverse

You can be pretty sure anyone with 1488 or even just 88 in their user name is a nazi, for example.
...what if I was born in '88 and it's just my default 'seasoning number'?

PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)
I switched to PieFed a while ago, it's the same thing but better (IMO)
It also doesn't have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks.
Try out both, see which you like.Same candy, different wrapper.

Take a look over at !peertube@lemmy.world It would be great if more people knew about it and posted/interacted.
Also https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos or join (if you are piefed) here ~fediversevideos@piefed.social
Thank you!

No problem! Enjoy.

Please note that I am not referring to specific instances like lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.
I know, but you know who is developing lemmy, right? Wonderful people like @dessalines@lemmy.ml and @nutomic@lemmy.ml
That’s why I suggest not talking about lemmy anymore and adapt piefed as the name

People are fleeing to another close source centralized app that’s not federated. People will use anything but Fediverse.

Probably the clearest indicator that the lack of technological literacy in mass market society means that marketing budgets are incredibly effective, and most won't question the incentives of the platform holder.

You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.
As someone who had to jump ship more than 3 times, I keep saying to think of their accounts as disposable because we don't know if we picked right or when/if the mods/admins/hosts will go crazy.

I started on .world and quickly realized I wanted a smaller instance. So I moved to .ee and sopuli, then when .ee went down I decided to not limit myself to a single instance. I do not have as many accounts as cm02 does, 4 total I think. But only use 3 of them much.

You might want to look into another number.

You did not suggest anything, you came in flying with insults

Eh, insulting is fine, insulting without a stated reason is just confusing, gotta give people some context.

Thanks, I guess. You seem like a very nice and reasonable person.

Gotcha, I assumed it was already known.

Piefed? Wasn't the replacement Lemmy?
These are like 2 sides of one coin. PieFed is basically a very good modification of Lemmy with its own advantages and problems.

I modified a image I saw going around last year on
Global Switch Day
https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc.
If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
What's with Piefed? Isn't it just another Lemmy instance?

To be honest I'm not fine with being insulted by that guy.

PieFed is a different software. Lemmy is written in Rust and has a certain set of features.
PieFed is a newer project, written from scratch in Python, by completely different people. It includes Lemmy's features and shows the same posts as Lemmy, but has additional features such as polls, events, feeds (which are the same thing as multireddits on Reddit), emoji reactions, flairs, notifications for new comments coming for some specific post or new posts coming in some specific community, messaging with Mastodon users, and some other stuff that fails to come to my mind right now

There are several PieFed instances: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

I'm genuinely sorry you have to go through all the slander and name calling people like to throw at you and Dessalines for developing wonderful software that isn't full of lib-bias censorship tools and other questionable decisions
