  • Why two commruleities?

  • That doesn't show me intentionally trying to remove it. That's me surprised that the authorship of the cross-posting functionality was preserved.

    The missing authoriship that I did was on the themes.

    As soon as I realised that the author was unhappy about it (a week later), I removed the code from PieFed. Why is that not the end of the issue?

  • Yeah, you'd think so. But months after it happened people were still casually saying "Rimu stole code from Pylova" so I gave up waiting and just set the record straight.

  • Yes there's a json file for each theme, we could definitely add metadata like author, etc in there. Thanks!

  • That does help very much, thank you!

    it is a requirement that all code that you incorporate from external sources gets attribution headers added to it, so that it is clear to recipients of your work who the original author is and under which license it was given to you (and therefore also to the end-user).

    Looks like that is the key thing, here. My bad.

  • No I couldn't contact them because there had already been so much abuse from them before that, so I'd resolved never to expose myself to them again.

    The basic level of trust required to communicate was gone - https://join.piefed.social/2026/08/14/open-source-runs-on-good-faith/

    In that situation even copying their code was enough to get them all started up again. I really regret that interaction because it gave them another excuse to stir up trouble.

  • It makes a perverse kind of sense in the context of the disinformation campaign the flotilla (which Pylova is a part of) was/is running. They desperately needed anything they could to undermine trust in PieFed. Because to them I'm not a human being - they're convinced that I'm a transphobic zionist nazi, so any kind of attack is acceptable to them. A means to an end.

  • As far as I know their main point of difference is they removed all the antifascist features. Even though they're off by default, lol

  • What have you completely stopped buying because the price has gotten ridiculus?

    Jump

  • Milk, cheese and butter.

    My country produces 10x more dairy products than we need. But they're sold to the highest bidder globally and that ain't me.

  • Yes that list should really be checked and old offline instances removed, etc. Although any chance I get to give Zuck the finger is hard to resist.

  • One thing he won’t tell you is that the toggle for these features were added after people complained,

    Yes I listen to feedback and make changes accordingly. This is how good software gets made.

    There’s also the reputation score that dings you for posting memes

    Incorrect.

    really hates quokka

    I went no contact with the whole flotilla after they were abusive for weeks. Going no contact is grounds for more abuse, according to them. In any case, inter-instance drama is a separate thing from what features PieFed has.

  • I've been on those Bali ferries a few times. They're fuckin terrifying. Really crowded, desperately in need of maintenance and crewed by people with no idea what they're doing.

    They were very lucky that only 1 person died in this case.
