This is the correct response at this point.

According to him, it came out tasting like a somewhat below average lightly carbonated beer, with little bitterness without any hops. I think he did it mostly as an interesting experiment.

Piefed also uses PostgreSQL. He was mentioning that the limiting factor on either platform is the DB, meaning that the parts written in Python will likely not be a limiting factor.

Piefed also has quite impressive optimizations in other areas as well compared to Lemmy or even Mbin.

This guy started out with fairly innocent parodies (I think), but he ended up falling down the alt-right pipeline, and is now a hard right christian. Any of his newer stuff is done to harm who he's mocking, it is no longer good faith parody.

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 over 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.

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

 

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