Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I'll see you in the future... maybe sooner than you think?
Edit: Follow up post is here. Don't worry. You're not getting rid of me that easy. I'm just switching to piefed.world
For those that care, I believe the source of the image is bookseller Honda.
Is this merely switching from Lemmy to something else, or are you leaving the fediverse completely?
If it’s the latter, then I wish you the very best of luck. I don’t know you very well, but I remember you having had some personal issues in the past. Hopefully those aren’t coming back and you’ve just decided to simply move on. Regardless, your memes and shitposting will be missed.
Good luck to you! Or, as a wise man once wrote, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”
Yeah just switching to Piefed.world, no worries. Sorry I made you waste all that effort <3
aye piefed gang
What is a piefed?
I'm an idiot and it's hard to explain but this announcement explains it pretty easily.
It functions on the fediverse, just like Lemmy, but is a different platform/front end. They function damn near identically but Piefed has a more active development team that actually responds to requests and a dev team that isn't transphobic as hell. That's the selling point for me. I think the only feature that's not available on Piefed that I use pretty often is being able to paste images into text blocks. Fairly sure they're working on that too. You can upload them, there's a clicky for it, but it just won't automatically upload and paste the link like it does on Lemmy. Literally the only thing "missing" that I've noticed.
I thought federated meant people see your posts no matter where you log in. But if going to piefed means you're "leaving" lemmy, kthxbye I guess. I don't see the need for an announcement.
If you're using a 3rd party client like Boost or Voyager it might not recognize the pifed domain as an activitypub instance.. our friendly devs are doing there best
I'm just looking at lemmy.world in a web browser - does that count?
Given how much tech likes to play "later then" with consent over a hard no i can only conclude their management is full of rapists
YouTube keeps showing me offers to give me two months premium for free, but when I click it they offer only one.
I'm pretty sure this is illegal in the EU but I can't be bothered so I stick with the ad blocker and reset the cookies every once in a while.
YT:
I'd be more than willing to throw them a couple of euros each month. But paying like 14 per month for something I get for free now is just too much.
They've been making money off my private data for years, I ain't paying for shit now
There's no way YouTube is a profitable business.
That's been my feeling all along. $5-10 per month I can justify, but I really can't justify $23/mo to cover both my and my wife's accounts, especially given that they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers. And honestly when they were getting really pushy about subscribing a year or two ago I refused because I don't give in to pushiness like that by tech companies
they reportedly still sometimes show ads to premium subscribers
I’ve been on YouTube Premium since it was YouTube Red, and I’ve never seen an ad when I’m logged in.
I justify it because YouTube Music is included, so I can get music streaming without paying for a similar service from Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whomever, and also get ad-free YouTube on all my devices and whatnot.
Good for you, but it doesn't take much searching to find "I pay for premium, why am I seeing ads?"
My group of friends pay €5.50 each for premium.
Spotify is €14.61.
Oh, any specific reason you're switching software?
Piefed has a few extra features that I like and I know that the couple features that are currently missing are on their way. The development team is pretty quick to respond which doesn't affect me a ton but I don't want to support a shitty dev team. Which then lines up with the third big reason, the Lemmy devs are transphobic assholes. If I'm going to be posting a lot then I don't want to be doing it using what they made.
Also Fxomt is convincing.

This is kinda a big deal for me too tbh. Do you happen to know, is there a good (android) piefed app, or is it website only for now? I imagine there'll be some of their aren't already, but my brief play store search wasn't very fruitful.
LMAO
I'm unfortunately stuck here until Boost implements PieFed support
🫡
I use boost on my phone too! Definitely waiting for implementation from Ruben. But I don't mind waiting. The dudes a superhero as far as I'm concerned.
Big big shoutout to Boost for Android. FANTASTIC APP and my favorite by far.
How do I subscribe to a user or community on piefed.world and see it in my lemmy.world feed?
Paste the link to it into your search bar and it should pop up like a normal community.
You can't follow users from lemmy (yet).
They only offer Premium LITE now, which feels extremely ironic after rejecting it all these years. It's like: "So, you declined my offer for years but have you considered... a WORSE OFFER, human?"
78? You must be new to the internet.
I'm sorry to see you go. If you change your mind, we'll be here to welcome you back with open arms. Be safe.
Oh don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just a supreme asshole and figured I'd announce my switch to piefed.world in the most irritating way possible <3
You cheeky bastard! 🤣
The FUCK man?! You nearly gave me a heart attack!
