Web developer. Lead developer of PieFed
Yes there are good arguments to be made for either option. You do you, it’s fine. All this only affects the url, you can change the title and description of a community any time… 95% of people will find the community through a UI that abstracts away the url anyway.
Naah I can’t be policing the naming of communities, really. Seems a bit micro-managing, when it’s somewhat of a grey area.
So while I agree with Blaze I’m not going to enforce anything about it.
IMO politics is generally pretty nationally-focused and most of the time the significance of each turn of the worm is only really obvious to people in that country. e.g. I’m pretty up with the play on all the anglosphere politics but am incompetent when it comes to south african or indian or slovakian politics and that’s fine by me. There is some globally-significant politics news but maybe not enough to sustain a community on it. So a collapse into US politics news is probably inevitable.
How about we have two politics communities, one for US and one for everything else? i.e. Keep the existing one and just change it’s description and make a second one.
Also as Blaze said there are other PieFed instances. I’m a fan of [email protected] but feddit.online or piefed.zip are good homes too.
Such a great game. Huuuge time commitment tho.
Charlie Kirk’s killer is a christian. He turned himself in to the police after consulting with his pastor.
Something must have changed now, I can see 4 posts at https://slrpnk.net/c/[email protected]
Yep.
With that limitation and with most of the community moves in the foreseeable future being from Lemmy to PieFed, not PieFed to PieFed, it’s not really a high priority.
Yeah although these guys have access to an unlimited supply of freshly harvested organs which puts a different spin on it.
The other day I made a feature which automatically adds every community posted to [email protected]. And another feature that automatically posts to that comm whenever a local community is created.
That’s works on a ongoing basis. There are other features for bulk-adding communities as a one off job.
There are sooo many S3 providers.
Hetzner is 5 Euro / mo for 1 TB (traffic is extra). Cloudflare R2 is $15 / mo for 1 TB (traffic is free and they charge per GB so you’d probably pay much less than that).
I have 10 Trello boards and they are all overflowing and I ignore them.
Recently I started self hosting Planka which is a FOSS clone of Trello and it’s the same except less latency.
One availability zone is enough. I am not convinced that Aurora is good value.
This seems like an ad for pulumi, whatever that is.
Data center servers are a different breed. I got an old one for cheap once and only ran it for a few minutes because it sounded like a jet engine. No way to make that thing efficient.
Some admins really love watching who votes for what and banning people based on that.
You can disagree with that if you like but if it means they get pissed enough to defederate your whole instance, you lose.
If your instance is just you and a handful of others, no one will notice or care. But once you have 1000 users the amount of anonymous votes will be noticed and there will be consequences. Maybe not defederation but everyone banned for upvoting bigoted content or vote manipulation will migrate to your instance and you’ll be hosting the biggest shitbirds around.
I don’t see a solution to this. As long as admins snoop on people’s votes that will be the dynamic and PieFed puts itself at a disadvantage by doing anything different.

The -10 can be changed in your settings. Set it to -1000 to show everything :)
