Announcing: Piefed.zip - our new Piefed instance! (piefed.zip)

Hi All,

As the Fediverse continues to expand, we're looking at other platforms we can run with our ethos - open federation, user choice, and fair moderation.

We've seen lots of talk about Piefed, and the benefits of the platform, such as better moderation, combining multiple communities into topics i.e piefed.zip/topic/cats, and the ability for users to better control their own experience.

To that end, we've decided to run our own Piefed instance, located at piefed.zip (I know, original!)

This is very much still under construction, but we feel is now able to accept new users, should anyone wish to join.

If you're interested please check it out, or feel free to ask any questions!

PS - this doesn't affect our Lemmy instance in any way.

Oh, yeah, this is not a knock against the admins at all. The .zip team might have an amazing set of contingency plans, etc - I have no idea - which would make this more or less a moot point. I’m just not a fan of single points of failure.

At the very least, backups have been fire-tested. We were back up and running within a day when one of the recent upgrades went all to shit.

I have a non-zip alt that sits idle and hopefully will stay idle :)
