[Megathread] Mobile app developers planning to support Piefed, Will Voyager follow?

Reply in thread

PieFed is a lot like lemmy, but built in Python with a few key features that make a big difference, most notably

  • De-duplication of Posts Across Communities
  • Unified Comment View
    • Merges comment threads from different communities for the same link. You can see all discussions in one place, no matter where the link was posted.

Also the onboarding is a use UX improvement, and therefore I think it will gain more traction than Lemmy in the long run.

It federates with lemmy instances, so you can see all the same content.

Life's more expensive

Get disposable virtual credit cards.

I just delete my credit card right after I sign up, and then I don't have to remember anything.

It's also much easier to unsubscribe you use a new card for each merchant, and if you no longer want to use amazon just delere the card. No need to go jump through 10x hoops to cancel

I get these news sources might not be perfect.

It's not like these things are uncommon, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/honor-killing-convictions-woman-stabbed-in-front-daughter-netherlands/

Here is another source found in a local dutch newspaper https://www.omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/415004/ook-vader-van-ryan-18-wordt-vervolgd-voor-ombrengen-dochter

How many news sources do you need? There is probably not a single news source out there that somebody won't be able to find fault in.

It has less to do with religion and more to do with culture, there are Christian, Muslim and Atheistic cultures that discriminate against women, neither of them should be tolerated.

There are cultures where female genital mutilation is commonplace, and that has little to do with religion. Hundreds of thousands of women in Europe are put through this, just like honour killings, we need to raise awareness that this is happening and put a stop to it.
