I was thinking the dark side version of president skroob

Then see people in Lemmy, mostly the .ml type crowd, who rage on about how Piefed is bad and should be avoided for being full of liberals.

There are people who either still believe that BS, or are just too lazy to take down the signs it seems. I live a couple towns over from someone who had a MASSIVE flag that could be seen all over town with that WWGOWGA slogan (since shredded by the wind) and has a sign on the front of their garage ‘Thank Q President George Patton Jr.’ which I guess made the rounds at some point.

I have to wonder how these people manage to go out in public without dying of embarrassment.

Multi comms is likely an instance ban, which they hand out freely on the .ml instance for anyone not in line with their ideology.

At least in Murican law I’m pretty sure any use of any image that’s not public domain could technically be flagged.

Ignoring the legal, morally and just generically, t’s good know the origin if you use it routinely. If nothing else someone might ask if they think it looks good. I’m kind of a pic/meme hoarder that wouldn’t be able to tell you where the specific origin of most are though.

I recall what you’re talking about, but was it even attached to the fedi? I thought it was a xitter thing to compare your style to others.

Because the admin lets me post semi-random thoughts on it, plus it makes a nice space heater in the winter and background noise in the summer.

Couple dead pixels from a particularly bright light might well make them unable to do their plate reading job efficiently. Might make for an interesting study.

Define funny. Statistically people fart several times a day and some people find that hilarious.

Beauty of the fedi, you can post from one instance to another without needing a separate account. For example mine is a single person instance with no local comms, yet here I am.

Edit: I think I missed the intent of the question. What you would look for is just the same of the comm@instance.tld on your own local base and assuming that federation functional between the instances it’ll show up to subscribe to. There’s no translation needed, but if you’re the first to subscribe from your home instance it might not show up right away.

I think there was at one point an instance called ‘lemmyporn’ or similar but they might have quit to let lemmynsfw take the role. Otherwise there are a few comms on general purpose instances.

Tale is it went offline recently and the admin is gone for a few months.

In theory, the will of the people should be the common good/best practices. The reality though is there are a certain portion of any given population with entirely selfish or hateful wishes. Those type of people tend to seek power in whatever fashion they can get and use those positions to amplify their voices trying to convince others to support them.

The party of personal responsibility

There was an allegation made some while back of Piefed having "hard-coded’ blocks of certain instances. In actuality there is a default setting when you spin up an instance to defederate from some of the most aggressive instances that are known to brigade, spam, and generally act trollish. You can simple uncheck those during or after setup though, so it’s a suggestion, not a forced state.

Piefed and Lemmy are act-pub/fediverse software systems, same with Mastodon and many others. Since Lemmy and Piefed are so similar in their structure though as link aggregators that people vote and comment on you could think of them as the same network with different clients.

I switched from Lemmy to Piefed somewhere around piefed’s 1.15 version as I recall. On a technical front Piefed is a solid margin ahead in admin and usability features, at least as of when I switched. I haven’t noticed a major performance difference, but mine is a single user instance so that might be better shown at a larger scale. Lemmy was a bit easier to deploy initially since there wasn’t a need to have anything compile locally but rather just pull an image and go.

Ethically, I’m less concerned using Piefed than Lemmy. The devs of Lemmy are notoriously vocal in their support of Russia/China/Korea, and basically anything that could be considered in opposition of western liberal/progressive policies. This is troublesome since there is the potential for updates being made that help create even more aggressively divisive bubbles than we already have in many parts of the fedi. Those could be applied to any software of course, but the Lemmy devs make their stances quite visible in that regard.

Dimensional transmission indeed functioning as anticipated

That you should have the option to run locally without calling back to home base without a special pass from MS.

Like, for a style, or making a creepy voodoo doll to do stuff to?
