It's been fun, but I don't have another migration left in me. (media.piefed.social)

Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

PugJesus, you are completely awesome and your contribution to the success of the fediverse is immense. Thank you so, so much.

I can't believe anyone can be so stupid as to think that stopping the most engaged people being engaged in the community would be in any way sensible. And limiting voting? When you can only ever vote once on each post or comment? Piefed developers: "this popularity really needs capping".

Have you engaged with a mod/admin ever? They're usually fucking idiots.

Good thing about the Fediverse is that, even on an instance you aren’t a huge fan of, the rest of the Fediverse mostly still works. You can hang out on some other instance, and it doesn’t really matter.

This is the one thing that’s felt “different” than my other web adventures.

I’m very worried about the Fediverse’s health, but I think that aspect is good.

Yeah, as a user, it's great to have options. If I was just an ordinary user, this probably wouldn't even faze me. I'd hop over to Piefed.ca or something.

Unfortunately, I run several large comms who I managed to just about get to functioning without me...

... three times, so far, just before having to migrate and start the process all over again.

I don't know. Maybe I'll feel different in a few months. But the effort seems Sisyphean at this point. If I do it again, will I just be moving them again in a year's time? Fuck that. The gods can keep their punishment.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

I've considered moving from lemmy.world a few times (including to piefed), and in hindsight I'm glad I didn't.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Thank you for all the dank memes! I particularly loved your historical artifacts and illustration posts. You are appreciated, and will be missed.

I know Lemmy has its issues, but I swear the more I hear about Piefed the crazier it sounds.

I will never understand why people want to trade the corporate nannies for some self-elected nanny.

We don't need any of this weird social engineering junk

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy's issues are pretty gigantic as well - to the point where many people outright refuse to fund its further development, thus impacting the future of the Threadiverse (one example is the inordinate amount of time spent performing moderation activities rather than actually working on adding features to the codebase).

Anyway, it's good to have multiple alternative options - having more software implementations of the ActivityPub Protocol is unquestionably a good thing imho.

The social engineering though is NOT a good thing imho - fortunately it's an option that can be disabled, though unfortunately it is opt-out rather than opt-in, and not transparently handled at all.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

Absolutely. My stance is not that Lemmy is not without serious flaw, just that Piefed does not seem to be the solution, to me at least.

Don't upvote this. Don't need to reply either. Just know that I treasure all our conversations. Wherever your road may lead, I'm glad it intersected with mine so often.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 7 points 16 hours ago

Every frequent poster on lemmy has their personal fan (hate) club. Some justified, others not so much. It'll be a shame to lose you, but take a break if you need it. I've taken several, but I keep coming back :)

[–] TanteRegenbogen@feddit.org 3 points 14 hours ago

Gonna miss ya a lot.

[–] guy@piefed.social 5 points 17 hours ago

There goes one of my main reasons for visiting this site 😢

[–] Ice@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That would be decidedly tragic. Your history posts are basically the most interesting things on here. I think a lot of people will be more mildly disappointed, including myself, to see you go.

If you do leave, thanks for the time you were here. You have been appreciated!
