None.

Yes, I’ve heard of many. Can’t think of the names at 4am unfortunately.

My favourite was one that was basically in and out, as the centre of their island had a mountain so things were either towards or away from it.

I’m trying to add PieFed stuff as I can, but it’s a bit of a hassle decoupling how conjoined everything gets.

And I have offered code in the past, Rimu has opted to block me on every platform he controls, deny my PR’s, and outright steal my code with the intention of not attributing it to me. So I’m no longer interested in trying to contribute to PieFed.

“Australians can’t be trusted to vote, instead they should vote for someone who certainly cannot be trusted”

Politicians are the same people who support Israel, are in bed with LLM data centres, do jack shit on climate issues, focus on corporations over people, etc.

More often than not politicians act against the wishes of Australians.

Well if you remove the parties and get people voting directly on issues instead, you’re one step closer to a real democracy.

Representative democracy is just a way for the lobbyists and rich to have all the power by buying a few people and spamming them with financial/media support to win and advance their agenda.

Going from Lemmy to PieFed is a huge mess, and as far as I know quokk.au is the only instance to completely swap over from running Lemmy to PF.

I would say if you’re happy with Lemmy to continue using it, v1.0 should be out soon with some pretty cool new features. If you’re wanting to try out the PieFed/PyLova experience, be warned that such a move over would lose everything you have to date and may cause syncing issues with same named users/communities that previously existed.

Quokk.au and Anarchist.Nexus run it currently. There are a few more who have expressed interest and may one day swap over.

It’s the same as Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed, different instances run different interoperable Threadiverse software. So to use it, you would need to be a member of an instance running it.

At this point it adds more than it removes.

It’s a fork of PieFed, focused on empowering users with new features and removing design choices that take away from users (vote quotas, hidden censorship, etc)

Threadiverse stock up 0%, users rejoice!

PC.

That was extremely hateful.

Exposed his hidden censorship he coded into the Tesseract front end.

Prior to that not condemning punching Nazis.

Huh your last interaction was defending Nazi runes and now this.

I’ll go cyber-amish, with a mesh networked mini Internet to my local peoples.

And they hide behind protecting and helping women while they hurt them.

I had two cute little ratties.

Bye

You crazies won and proved me wrong. The fediverse isn’t worth saving after all.

Over the course of the last several days, I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg. All of it instigated and eggged on by another instance’s top admin. This is unacceptable for all of the reasons in the world, and while I won’t give you the personal satisfaction of having won, you’ve definitely proven me wrong about the fediverse being something that even can be saved from itself.

Even people around here I’d interacted with positively for years and had grown to respect because they seemed level headed and above the immature and sociopathic bullshit that dominates this platform showed their true selves. That completely shattered any and all illusions I had that this place has a hidden core of users that I should try to make more visible amongst all the rage, rage baiting, propaganda, harassment, rumor mongering, trolls, conspiracies, purity testing, and violent rhetoric.

Like many of the rational people before me who called this place home, I’m done with this place.

I tried to carve out a space where those people and other rougher edges were not drowning out niche communities and hobbies and where people who choose to use the platform to harass others were also out of sight, out of mind. Apparently only three people who aren’t me actually want a place that’s not just a circle-jerk of rage and hate. Thus sayeth the mob.

Then you have entire instances whose admins call for the death of others, harass other users, and lead harassment, brigading, and DARVO campaigns against those who dare call out their bullshit or decide to disassociate themselves and their work from them.

Lemmy.World was so close to doing the right thing after instance-that-will-not-be named’s admins were calling for the death of LW’s admins while spreading rumours and labeling others in such a way that painted them as targets for murder. All of that, mind you, with absoultey no evidence other than specuation and their own cooked-up conspiracies about modlog actions or taking and twisting things wildly out of context to fit their made-up narratives so they had someone to say they ‘caught’ and should be killed.

.world was on the precipice of doing the right thing and disaccociating themselves from that psychotic shit show, but silently dropped the issue and carried on as usual after wringing their hands for maybe two weeks.

“We have to worry about the optics or the politics of it.” they probably said.

Bullshit.

I’m one person and have held my fucking ground, mostly with dignity and grace, in the heat of my own shitstorm of trying to disaccociate from the extremist elements of the fediverse. If I can stand up for what’s right and deal with the blowback, so can you.

Fuck lemmy world’s admin team for condoning that behavior and letting the human skidmark db0 DARVO his way out of the situation while brigading with his army of malcontents whom he wields like a cult leader. He knows exactly what he is doing, and you all continue to allow him to get away with it.

Nah, fuck this whole place. I’ve let too many things fall by the wayside IRL because of dealing with all this fediverse bullshit and trying to give it the slightest bit of polish both visually and atmospherically. Mythbusters may have proven that you can, in fact, polish a turd, but at the end of the day, it’s still a shiny ball of shit.

For the few people left who didn’t turn out to be psychotic, I’ll think of you from time to time when recalling something you’ve posted or commented that genuinely made me laugh, made me think, or otherwise put a smile on my face or in my heart.

Everyone else, though, enjoy your toxic, xenophobic, knee-jerk-to-violence, purity-testing, and harassing-anyone-who-doesn’t-fall-in-line cess pit. One day you, too, will do or say something that doesn’t toe the line and you’ll be right where I am.

P.S. Rimu, you owe me a beer. No one is talking about the Piefed vote quotas anymore, so you’re welcome.

I’m talking about political and societal attitudes; We’re outliers. Simply being on the Fediverse makes us outliers with a strong bias towards more tech and gaming based interests.

It will be another 10-20 years before politics catches up to us in normalising video games and understanding they’re important cultural elements not simply kids entertainment. Until that point in time, their importance is going to be neglected by politicians and Christian lobbyists will be able to exert their influence over moral policing them.
