  • This thing where the media takes what Trump says seriously and then debates it’s merits is getting real real old.

    The fact that MAGA won’t work is irrelevant because it was never more than an empty slogan in the first place.

    Stop talking about the quality of the emperor’s clothes. There are no clothes. Fascism has no policy, there is only power and whatever is necessary to get it.











  • PieFed dev here.

    PieFed is closer to Lemmy, yeah. Microblogs (i.e. the ability to follow mastodon profiles and have their posts show up in your timeline) are on the roadmap for this year.

    Currently, Mastodon users can follow Piefed accounts and the posts from PieFed will show up in the Mastodon user’s timeline. Those posts, viewed in mastodon, can be replied to there and the the reply will show up in PieFed. But not the other way around.



  • all the apps interconnecting

    Evangelists say this but that’s not actually what happens in practice. It might one day. ActivityPub is not a protocol, it’s the concept of a protocol. Each platform uses AP slightly differently so there are subtle and big incompatibilities everywhere.

    There are two main islands of interoperability. There’s Mastodon and friends (Pixelfed, Misskey, Akomma, etc) then there’s Lemmy and friends (Mbin, PieFed).

    Mbin and Friendica do the best at federating with everything but they have shortcomings in other ways.

    Just try stuff and explore, until you find a set of compromises you can live with. Take your time. I have a Mastodon account and a PieFed account.
