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.

Our sysadmin explained some technical advantages here: https://feddit.org/post/13613230/7063696

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.

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.

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.
