Yeah it was a poor choice of words. I just see no reason to put my forum account with my microblog account and it just feels wrong how they implemented it. It’s clear they focused on only the forum part and just kinda implemented the microblog part later.

Piefed is amazing, though the fact that there’s no apps or clients at all. They’re hard to make since there’s no API, correct me if i’m wrong though.

tl;dr:

• Lemmy for apps (shit moderation tools)

• Piefed for fast development rate, responsive dev and great features (no apps at all)

• Mbin for keeping your forum and microblog account in one place (really awkward to use)

Piefed is almost perfect, if it actually had apps then it’d probably blow all of these out the water (in my opinion, of course)

Can’t go wrong with any.

I agree, it’s fun to dunk on tankies but even they’re human too. Stalking anyone is just lame.

… And most of their comments are nonsense anyway lol

To the stalker who lurks here: youve been a very, very naughty boy 😡

Either way he’d still be in hell lmao

Thanks! :)

Thanks, it’s great! PS: The gitlab link doesn’t work ;)

thanks :)

Photon does it automatically for me so it’s possible. You’re right they really should fix the janky UI.

My phone autocorrects “shit” to “this” most annoying shit possible lmao

Nah, even if you’re an mbin user it’s a little annoying getting redirected from your home instance so you can’t interact with the post itself. i.e. you link a lemm.ee post to a .world user

Better link is: !resist@fedia.io (for non fedia users)

I’d argue it’s both. We’re still under occupation, it’s just both by western countries and ourselves. It’s a miserable truth that we all have to live with, fascism has been alive and kicking in the ME for a century [at least]. I often tear up thinking where did we go wrong but i always remember it’s the same parasites: authoritarians. They’d sell us all into slavery for a quick buck in a heart beat, they cannot be trusted around anything.

I know it will all end eventually, but that will take decades, or even centuries. All for what? the british wanting to defeat the ottomans?

This is the worst example of all i can think of, every time i think of him it’s just, what the fuck. Mazen didn’t deserve any of this. Everytime i think of him i want to cry, because i know he is not the only one who experienced this hell. May he rest in peace.

edit: sorry if it wasn’t clear, but i was agreeing with you here.

I was mainly talking from my point of view, how the arab spring went. It was the struggle of the people against their oppressors and they couldn’t handle not having powers. Egypt is struggling heavily currently even with US backing, and is ruled by a wannabe dictator. Libya is… libya, and i’m truly happy that Syria eventually won, despite the hundreds of thousands of martyrs, and dead.

I blame the UK and france more than anyone for this, since after the Arab revolt they betrayed us, and created a bunch of puppet states with horrible borders (can’t forget funding the sauds, handling the balfour agreement horribly and killing the egyptians too) then literally never paid us back for the destruction. Though the US is responsible for modern middle eastern instability too, such as invading Iraq for no reason at all, and “saving” the libyans.

Ya know eveytime I see these I wonder, “how did the Arabs do it?” They actually did something in Egypt. We can’t even agree to take the same day off.

It didn’t do shit. Egypt is a dictatorial police state, the middle east is in shambles, thousands have died for just wanting peace and democracy.

They fucking used tanks against bahraini protestors. Libya is a failed state. Syria entered a decade long civil war, and tunisia is the only one that had a good outcome[-ish].

We still live like peasants in autocratic monarchies, totalitarian dictatorships and “democracies”, what the fuck is this user talking about?

But if you are going to do this, you need some amount of leadership and coordination. 50 people losing their jobs as they said is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it will ruin those 50 people’s lives.

Finally; a wikipedia that i can use.

You’re welcome :) (btw, nice username)

Yeah they’ve tried to make it as similar as whatsapp. But it’s hard convincing your entire family to switch again after signal just because you found a cool new app to switch to, lol

It’s cool, thought people should still be wary of it since it’s new and backed by VC.

I’d give it a little more until i switch fully to it, but it 100% is better than WA.

If only there was a website that helps you choose, instead of inclining users to just use lemmy and only lemmy.world anyway. (also with mastodon and mastodon.social).

Overall i think more software choices are great but you are right in that it could repel users :/
