I moved to Piefed because the Lemmy devs are pro-fascist tankies. I can provide proof.

I might switch or have both Lemmy and PieFed profiles. When you moved to PieFed, was it possible to sync or import your data from Lemmy? Comments, posts, upvotes, etc.

You can import your Lemmy settings, which are the subscribed and blocked communities, instances and users, and saved posts as well

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

you can import/export the settings from lemmy to piefed.

(also tagging @BaroqueInMind@piefed.social)

There is an entire community dedicated to this at !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works (see especially the megathread post with many linked examples), while other communities mostly have stopped talking about it since it is such common knowledge (therefore "old news" and thus off topic), but see also some posts in e.g. !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com .

I note that lemmy.cafe is one of the only instances I've ever heard of that is brave enough to defederate from all three of the largest tankie instances, despite the main devs of the Lemmy software also being the admins of some of those.

Edit: also there is this interesting post: https://feddit.nl/post/16246531 .

What does defederating mean?

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

A complete cutoff of all communication between instances (servers). Theoretically should only be used as a last resort, where the instance admins refuse to moderate their userbase, but in practice there seem to be several instances that contribute mainly negative (i.e. trolling) content to the rest of the Fediverse, in which case losing everything from them - all the good but also all the bad too - becomes worth it.

See also the "Nazi bar" effect: YOU may not be a Nazi, nor any of your friends, and you may meet separately like a quiet corner or back room, but if you hang out in a bar that becomes known for being friendly to Nazis, then anyone you invite to join you at the bar is likely to deny your request. The possibility of goodness of conversations with you in that case gets outweighed by the likelihood of bad interactions with the Nazis that they would have to pass by on their way to you.

Although in the case of Lemmy, it is not Alt-Right Nazis, but Alt-Left tankies, at hexbear.net, lemmygrad.ml, and to a lesser but still very significant degree lemmy.ml.

Does piefed have an iOS client yet?

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Voyager and Mlem have both recently introduced basic Piefed support, and I believe both plan to expand it in the near future.

Dont know, but why do you need an app when it is an http sandbox for the mobile site that already works in a browser?

Why does every fucking thing need an app? Just use the website. It looks and works the exact same way, but doesn't send telemetry to Apple or Google.

I would like to know this as well but you came across so strong here that I think you will never get an answer to this implementation of your question:-)

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

It's too bad most people, including yourself, are intolerant prudes and nothing will change towards a positive trend in your lifetime.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Perhaps I am... and perhaps you are too, and is that even wrong/bad, to have opinions about what we like or do not?

The world is as it is, not as we wish it. That said, power comes from realizing that and turning it to your advantage. I wanted to gently push you to consider that, but I may have come on too strong myself. Don't let me ruin your day!

[-] BaroqueInMind@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Your de-escalation skills should be taught everywhere.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you for your kind words:-)
