moth. anarchist on stolen wifi. copyleft everything, pirate the rest. direct action is the only protocol that ever mattered.
according to the PyLova devs, it was forked to remove the hard-coded (at that time) censorship in Piefed, especially the anti-memes censor and upvote punishment. memes are a valued and culturally important form of self-expression, and even if the Piefed author is from an older generation, it doesn’t mean those memes should have to swim upriver just to get the same engagement on Piefed as they do on Lemmy.
all attempts to reach out to Rimu are shot down by Rimu and the persons blocked or banned from Piefed channels, so moth isn’t sure how things will get “figured out”.
the PyLova maintainers refuse to let their code be contributed back
as soon as the fork was made, were the PyLova devs not banned from all Piefed channels? was the first security patch authored by the PyLova devs not ignored by @rimu@piefed.social, despite attempts to reach out so that Piefed could take advantage? tell moth, how long should the PyLova devs continue reaching out, only to have Rimu push them away? why do you have this double-standard?
Why shouldn’t the ideas and features flow both ways?
why doesn’t @rimu@piefed.social admit that he got the ideas from Mia then? why copy changes from PyLova, and strip attribution, then admit to MrKaplan that he did it so that she wouldn’t be attributed? moth supposes that perhaps he does not want to admit Piefed is inferior to PyLova.
Let’s not pretend like PyLova is breaking new ground here, lmao.
no, but PyLova IS doing most of the dev work for Piefed.
that’s a good idea, thank you! moth thinks marriage is an outdated concept, but moth might find it agreeable if it’s to the best threadiverse software currently available!
are you doing a bit, or did you sign up for the wrong instance?
this article makes it seem like Homebrew is something that only vibe coders use. in reality, Homebrew has thousands of projects on it that cover a very wide range of software. this is Futurism once again adopting a click-bait style that obscures the truth. they also tend to overly dramatize news in order to drum up clicks. looking at their site without an ad-blocker makes it obvious why they do this.
are you two about to hate-fuck each other?
there’s a certain kind of irony here you can cut with a knife.

yes, although after quite a bit of backlash, he apparently added a switch to turn off most of it. it seems that Rimu does not like memes, judging by the fact he added several functions to suppress them. things like marking meme comms “low quality”, making upvotes count less than on other posts, etc. those functions have been removed in PyLova for obvious reasons. memes are fun, and they are culturally relevant to millennials and Gen Z. and while it’s true that older generations like Rimu might not appreciate them as much, they shouldn’t be quietly punished without telling anyone.
