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

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!”

Not worries. Meant every word. Plus I got to make an H2G2 reference. Everybody wins.

[-] Stamets@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah. I'm just sad I couldn't find a way to weave towel into something. I've been going through some shit and I am TIRED.

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.

What did the Lemmy dev team do that was transphobic?

Any chance they'll become fully interoperable? I mean, besides the standard fediverse account stuff. Ideally, being able to scroll my All feed on piefed and seeing Lemmy posts in there. I just don't want to go back to a ghost town like the Lemmy of 2 years ago.

Also, thanks for all the posts! You and Picard were the backbone of this place in the bad old days.

EDIT: I just noticed a piefed post in my feed. The future is now!

EDIT EDIT: It was a piefed user, I'm dumb.

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They fully work together. You can see piefed posts on lemmy and vice versa! From my understanding anyway. Just go to lemmy.world/c/support@piefed.world or something and you should be able to see posts with no issue.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Oh, any specific reason you're switching software?

[-] Stamets@piefed.world 8 points 1 month ago

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.

Haha, convincing or persistent? I guess he can be both :p

[-] Stamets@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago

Deeeeeeefinitely a little of Column A and a little of Column B lol

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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?"

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

LMAO

I'm unfortunately stuck here until Boost implements PieFed support

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.

[-] Stamets@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

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.

[-] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

But will it continue to be your last post in the future? Or is it simply your last post at this moment?

[-] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
[-] bvoigtlaender@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Are you using an public instance? I had hosted one myself for a year or so but google found out. And when i moved to my raspi in my apartment they did found that out too pretty quickly. Did everything as stated in the docs i believe.

[-] axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

I use a public instance which is https://inv.nadeko.net/. Same issue also happens with public instances so you gotta keep switching backends

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I humbly reserve the right to give you a hug, if you'd consent, for all you did for us. Also I would like your permission to kick you in the balls for this "announcement". If your biology doesn't allow for that, don't worry, I've got a magic spell that can give you balls just long enough for me to kick them.

Just kidding, love you <3

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Cast seal buttcrack.

[-] Stamets@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh I've got balls but I do like them in their unsquished state. Perhaps instead you could smash a jello cake? Or maybe even yelling at a tree?

If I could a cup right now I'd go and get one...

Are you getting harassed again or taking a break, cuz life?

[-] Stamets@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just being an annoying little shit and announcing my switch to piefed.world in the most annoying way possible. You know. For consistency.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I really like sh.itjust.works and I'm a mod here. But if I wasn't, I'd be going to piefed's main instance in a second. They seem to have a nice configuration. Not a fan of world, but I'm sure there are other great instances.
