The only drama I am aware of recently was a piefed admin blocking some smaller anarchist instances, but it stirred up a shit storm and they reversed it. Not sure if that is the drama in question.

These mfers horny for this shit should just play satisfactory.

Who could have seen this coming?? Oh wait, anyone with a brain.

What part of what I said implies that I want bots to take the place of humans on social networks? What a very strange conclusion to jump to. I just think that AI has some useful applications.

People have different opinions on AI, not everyone is vehemently opposed, and some view it as useful if used on the appropriate configuration.

We really need an alternative to Lemmy and piefed for the threadiverse. I say this as a leftist. People are not children who need child locks put on their internet. This is not the type of environment I joined the fediverse to be a part of, that censors links just because the server admin disagrees with the politics.

How is ita false equivalence to say that animal rights matter? Do sentient beings deserve to be eaten by us, simply because we have consciously decided that we want to be at the top of the food chain? Should you continue to have the highest emissions from your diet, simply because you’re “at the top” of some hypothetical food chain you have no part in executing yourself?

I get that some people need to eat animal products for health reasons, but if your entire reason is “I am an apex predator” (which you’re not, btw), then I don’t see why you shouldn’t be called out for that mentality, which is promoting a view of the world that is pretty exploitative of other living beings and environmentally damaging to boot.

Yes, right after working families goes bankrupt because they can’t afford to go to their job.

There is a difference between bottling up your emotions and realizing mid sentence that you are not making sense or saying anything that anyone cares about and wishing you had not started talking at all.

I was considering a fair phone, but that announcement has me waiting.

They remade Riven, and it got a sequel, Obduction.

I heard this spoken in his voice from south park, like the “it’s a plane” dude.

I recommend trying a smaller instance on piefed, it is better than Lemmy in a number of ways.

I don’t consciously remember making it, but I might have made it in the troubleshooting phase. In any case, still doesn’t explain why I cannot login with any credentials at piefed.social. I am able to login to p.piefed.social, but those exact saved login credentials do not work on piefed.social.

When I click that I get a blank website that says not found, so I am not sure where in the user list you saw that. Unless I just can’t see it because it’s banned. I do not recall consciously making another username after I was banned, unless I had done that to try to see if it was an IP ban.

The username is korendian, and the handle is @robert.meyer86@piefed.social. Neither of those work to login at piefed.social, nor does my email, but I can use my email and that password to login at p.piefed.social. I think it is some discrepancy in the naming system, as viewing my profile from different sites shows different username/handles. Here is a view from several different sites showing that korendian and robert.meyer86@piefed.social are the same account, but depending on where it is viewed, korendian and robert.meyer86 both show as the username or handle (I.e., piefed.social seems to have korendian@piefed.social as the handle, but Lemmy.zip shows the handle as robert.meyer86@piefed.social. I am honestly unsure which is the right one to be honest).

Seriously though, why we are clinging to continued federation is beyond me.

The fediverse is built on voluntary connections between communities. This post is literally a post to discuss and debate the issue. There is no active proposal or vote to defederate from lemmy.world, unless they defederate from one of the mutual anarchist instances first. It’s basically saying “if you do this, it will be bad, so don’t do it”. I.e., using solidarity between communities to force the issue one way or another. In what way is that cowering or “trending towards fascism”? Defederation is built into the fediverse, and it is not like it is being used willy nilly here to silence people. At least not by any of the instances signed on to this flotilla. This is a response to that actually, more than anything.
