Oh my god, guys. The fediverse is changing my life. In an age of a profit driven, AI enshittified internet, fediverse platforms like Lemmy and PieFed are a fucking god send.
I swear to god, I feel my brain is being cooked alive by the overwhelming algorithm bullshit that Instagram and YouTube is driving down my throat. But since discovering PieFed? On top of using Mastodon, most of my social media takes place on the fedi now. What a fucking privilege. I can reach the end of my days without my brain feeling like jelly… I can use these platforms without feeling like I’m causing harm to myself.
Is it perfect? No. But it doesn’t need to be: it’s not infested with AI bullshit, and most my instances defederate Nazi bars.
This is the internet I’ve been yearning for the past couple years.
I’ll be contributing to PieFeds source code whenever I can. This shit is so fucking important for the internet.
Liking efficiency, I also love practical feeds become once you curate things to your liking, specially propagation happens and even if it doesn’t, there’s still widespread RSS and bridges adoption. If I want, I can even follow profiles from Threads and Bluesky, and also news and blogs through such.
Plus if a platform goes down, posts still stay around, propagating as people interact. Great for super old contents. =D
How to follow RSS from PieFed?
Indirectly, through some other instance or bot that posts to communities.
