PieFed includes RSS posting functionality out of the box, btw.

haha openbox wins all

Yes it's pretty cool. Here's another example, where someone made a Lemmy post which got no responses but people were talking about the same url on Mastodon, so those comments got displayed:

Mine posted a hangman's noose on Facebook with reference to my old place of work. Basically calling for the lynching of everyone inside and all people like us.

There was a lot of other stuff besides but that was when I knew for sure the person I used to know was gone.

I've dug into this a bit. The removed guide is https://codeberg.org/ap-next/ap-next/src/branch/main/guide.md which just documents how ActivityPub is mostly being used, as of 2026. It's not prescribing the future or trying to foreclose other options.

https://codeberg.org/ap-next/ap-next/src/branch/main does have some 'scary' text saying "This project is dedicated to evolving the ActivityPub protocol." which might look ominous to the W3C people, who are also trying to evolve the AP protocol... But jumping straight to "this is a fork" seems overly reactive.

The author, silverpill, has a long history of producing useful FEPs which have been quite influential. So this 'ap-next' thing isn't coming out of nowhere or from someone without practical grounding in the domain.

The Ministry for the Future is a good book, read it.

They're very helpful in broadly-defined communities, like "Technology", or "Politics" because people can block individual flairs to narrow down the posts they get. More at https://piefed.social/c/[email protected]/p/2216045/you-can-now-block-posts-based-on-their-flair

I will never get tired of that video of Lemurs getting high by chomping on centipedes

Every platform is effectively it's own fork, already.

That would be handy.

Bans have expiry dates, blocks could too!

The necks on the geese are perfect. It's a small thing but you can practically hear them honk.

It's easily doable but probably a bad idea:

1. An incentive to karma-farm.

2. Receiving downvotes would feel worse and some people have a really hard time with them already.

Yes, this is normal and good.

NB this filter only stops posts in your home feed, not in the community https://piefed.zip/c/[email protected]

In my testing [word] works as desired. Can you give me the specific word and a sample post?

Yes. There is no "best laptop for compiling Rust", with a reasonable price tag.

All laptop CPUs are extremely weak versions of desktop CPUs and rust is famously heavy on CPU during compilation.

The winning move here is to not use a laptop.

p.piefed.social was not set to start up when the server rebooted and it automatically reboots after updates are installed. Oops!

There's a subreddit for this, called nopoo. Not kidding.

Lol the little one eating her ass

In the late 80s I came across a National Geographic magazine from earlier in the decade, about the 1982 El Niño. It was horrible, so many photos of dead animals and parched landscapes.
