  • No, but a PR that adds that would be very welcome. You can increase the chances of that happening by making an issue about this in our codeberg.

  • Sorry about that!

    It was caused by an overly strict anti-scraper configuration.

  • huh, TIL. Thanks!

    So it's just 17 times more likely to burn you to death than average cars.

  • How do we feel about Odysee?

    Jump

  • It was full of antivax bullshit during the pandemic so I feel really angry about it. Fuck Odysee.

  • PieFed Users By Day Growth

    Jump

  • The recent downtrend was 1 month since the big upswing - many people make an account, try it for a few minutes and then don't come back. But these stats are monthly active users so people like that stay in the stats for a long time and don't get removed from the count until 1 month later.

    Halfway through that cycle https://fedinsfw.app/ was launched and that's the second wave of growth.

  • For Lemmy and PieFed much of the server load comes from communities, not users. It's communities that do the activity fan out, not users.

  • 7 LLM bots banned from PieFed.social in the last 24 hours - a new daily record

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, that one is fine. It wasn't banned from piefed.social, I accidentally included it in the list above because there was a "hey check this one out" alert at one point.

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

    Jump

  • Yes although what tends to happen is the capitalists just take MIT licenced code and make bank off it.

    This is all moot now that LLMs can launder the code anyway.

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

    Jump

  • Only if you use GPL, not MIT.

  • 7 LLM bots banned from PieFed.social in the last 24 hours - a new daily record

    Jump

  • I am sure that will happen one day. It would just take one Moltbook post saying "hey check out this fun threadiverse thing...".

    But for now it seems like individuals doing small scale experiments.

  • Sorry - email is the channel which adds things to my todo list so when I get too busy I become avoidant about it. Just opening Thunderbird makes me a little anxious! "Ahh, yes, the app which brings more pain, here we go again"
