This guy started out with fairly innocent parodies (I think), but he ended up falling down the alt-right pipeline, and is now a hard right christian. Any of his newer stuff is done to harm who he's mocking, it is no longer good faith parody.

Yes, they're 100% cross compatible. As an example, you can access [email protected] from your Lemmy instance seamlessly.

A piefed migration allowed the possibility of backing up every post, but it only shows up on the piefed instance itself, the old backed up posts don't federate out.

Had Perish migrated to a Lemmy instance, there would be no backup at all, and we'd have to start from scratch. The only backup of the community would exist as the old posts from lemm.ee that exist on other instances.

Thank you for keeping it alive over there, and all of your efforts!

The worst thing about it is, even if you switch to Linux for privacy yourself, you'll also need your friends to switch as well, otherwise if you message them on their desktop, they're a liability, as the damn recall will be there too, leaking your data.

It'll be hell for activists.

Out of curiosity, can a community opt out of its comments being bundled with others?

After seeing it in action, I think that's actually a nifty feature that most communities and the threadiverse as a whole would benefit from, but I could also potentially foresee a minority of communities not wanting to increase their comments exposure to that degree.

Y'all got a cool ass logo, too :)

Ah, when you mentioned it was long-winded and should already be blatantly obvious, I thought you meant it was not useful information.

Any activitypub enabled software that mimics the Reddit style of longform thread/forum style social media with distinct topics.

Which at the moment is Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin.
