We just feel differently about how or what memes add to the fediverse. It really is just a difference in philosophy. As far as I’m aware, there are no serious differences. It’s just minor. Rimu and I had a discussion about it a while back and there’s no bad blood or anything, we see things differently on the Fediverse. Rimu, from what I can tell, prefers things to be a bit more conversational and discussion based. I like things to be a blend of discussions and memes. That’s really about it.

No clue. I don’t know Ruben at all, I’ve only talked to him a couple times in passing about Boost bugs. But given the work he does on everything else, I’m just sort of assuming. Dude is a king.

Anytime. Newfoundland is a fuckin awesome place with a weird and unique culture. Love being able to share it.

Well it’s hard to put into words. Instead, I’d recommend watching this 5 minute clip from the musical Come From Away as people are screeched in after having it explained to them. Typing this out will be impossible to capture the chaos, bewilderment, bizarre traditions and wonderment that comes from my silly little island.

The musical is a Broadway musical about all the passengers on the planes that landed in Newfoundland. Small town doubled in population overnight to help everyone out and the play is about that moment and the community surrounding it. As someone who lived through that myself as I was living in the area, it’s a fantastic play.

Here’s the clip. Up on Streamable and only there for 2 days because I ripped the clip out of the musical myself.

Your not entirely wrong.

I know that you’re close by because I didn’t need to explain what the fuck being screeched in meant lmao

Hell yeah. I’m just sad I couldn’t find a way to weave towel into something. I’ve been going through some shit and I am TIRED.

I don’t actually know and I’m kind of ashamed to admit that. I’ve heard that Voyager has got some early support but I know nothing about any other apps. I’m sorry!

I got one condition.

You gotta get screeched in.

Deeeeeeefinitely a little of Column A and a little of Column B lol

You’re no longer allowed to visit

It’s not too bad. Pretty during some times of year, cold as fuck in other times. Newfoundland.

Piefed has a few extra features that I like and I know that the couple features that are currently missing are on their way. The development team is pretty quick to respond which doesn’t affect me a ton but I don’t want to support a shitty dev team. Which then lines up with the third big reason, the Lemmy devs are transphobic assholes. If I’m going to be posting a lot then I don’t want to be doing it using what they made.

Also Fxomt is convincing.

I would also love that but I live on an island in the middle of the ocean. Tends to be a bit isolating, unfortunately.

Please marry me I’m so fucking lonely

I’ve got some philosophical disagreements with the Admin of piefed.social. Nothing negative or anything, we just disagree on a few things and see things differently. Mostly on memes. Lemmy.world and piefed.world I’ve been lucky enough to have great experiences with which is why I’m sticking around, despite probing from admin buddies of other instances to go to their lemmy or their piefed. Including one particular admin of dbzer0 who wants me to move over, the lovable asshole.

I’m an idiot and it’s hard to explain but this announcement explains it pretty easily.

It functions on the fediverse, just like Lemmy, but is a different platform/front end. They function damn near identically but Piefed has a more active development team that actually responds to requests and a dev team that isn’t transphobic as hell. That’s the selling point for me. I think the only feature that’s not available on Piefed that I use pretty often is being able to paste images into text blocks. Fairly sure they’re working on that too. You can upload them, there’s a clicky for it, but it just won’t automatically upload and paste the link like it does on Lemmy. Literally the only thing “missing” that I’ve noticed.

Oh I’ve got balls but I do like them in their unsquished state. Perhaps instead you could smash a jello cake? Or maybe even yelling at a tree?

If I could a cup right now I’d go and get one…

I use boost on my phone too! Definitely waiting for implementation from Ruben. But I don’t mind waiting. The dudes a superhero as far as I’m concerned.

Big big shoutout to Boost for Android. FANTASTIC APP and my favorite by far.
