Yes, they're 100% cross compatible. As an example, you can access !piefed_meta@piefed.social from your Lemmy instance seamlessly.

A piefed migration allowed the possibility of backing up every post, but it only shows up on the piefed instance itself, the old backed up posts don't federate out.

Had Perish migrated to a Lemmy instance, there would be no backup at all, and we'd have to start from scratch. The only backup of the community would exist as the old posts from lemm.ee that exist on other instances.

!fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social to visit it from your own instance to subscribe ^^

Thank you for keeping it alive other there, and all of your efforts!

The worst thing about it is, even if you switch to Linux for privacy yourself, you'll also need your friends to switch as well, otherwise if you message them on their desktop, they're a liability, as the damn recall will be there too, leaking your data.

It'll be hell for activists.

We will, promise! :D

Ah, when you mentioned it was long-winded and should already be blatantly obvious, I thought you meant it was not useful information.

Usually I'd post this to !breadtube@slrpnk.net, but unfortunately slrpnk will be down for a while, and figured I'd share it here in the meantime.

Is this community only for higher level discussions? I think for people newer to anarchism it's a good encapsulation of the concept it tackles.

Kind've an odd suggestion, but if you like more arcade-y type games, and think you'd an enjoy a more advanced sorta spiritual successor to dig-dug, I'd recommend checking out Mr.Do! On the SNES. Weirdly good.

Sunset Riders is a fun and short western arcade shooter, as is Wild Guns.

There's also a pretty neat Shadowrun RPG on the SNES.

Trillium Notes Next is a good open-source obsidian alternative without the bullet points of logseq.

That'd actually be pretty rad if it's doable, especially now that the API for piefed was released and mobile apps are already beginning to support it.

I wouldn't be too surprised if reddit was doing some action to keep Lemmy down (like down ranking posts that mention or link to Lemmy in their algorithm), but I don't think lemm.ee shut down from any outside force attacking them, I think it was far more mundane.

A few things probably contributed:

  1. Lemm.ee was the second biggest instance, that's going to attract a fair amount of drama and trolls no matter how you slice it. If you don't have enough mods or admins to deal with that load, it can be overwhelming.

MrKaplan of Lemmy.world mentioned that .world is able to handle their size effectively due to ensuring they have enough active mods to handle their communities so there's less load for the admins, perhaps lemm.ee did not.

  1. Their policy of non-defederation likely increased their drama and report burden, as some instances are known to have more toxic users than others, making defederation a powerful tool to make things manageable and quiet that report notification.

Combined with a lack of fresh admins to rotate out the ones getting burned out, and you've got a potent recipe to make the whole thing super un-fun and feel like an unappreciated slog of a job.

 

Thought this was a fun little essay on one of Graeber's last books :)
