Yeah user-created topics would be a fine enhancement. Various aspects of the multireddit concept have separate issues in the issue queue but they haven’t been coherently tied together yet. It might be time to do that.
One way to limit exposure to negative news is a keyword filter, which I implemented 6 months ago, early on in the project: https://piefed.social/post/7576
Yeah I’m pretty interested in this and Topics is only the first iteration of the idea. At the time piefed.social was basically a single-user instance so making the topics admin-manually-curated groupings was fine. Perhaps it’s time to take things to the next level, tho.
The concept of ‘multireddits’ sounds like a bundle of related functionality and I’m not sure which parts of that you’re interested in that PieFed’s “topics” doesn’t already do. Is it the user-created part? The subscribing part? The join-many-communties-at-once part? PieFed does some of those already but you won’t see it unless you’re logged in…
There’s a Facebook group or Telegram channel full of people who egged this guy on. Guaranteed.
I used to lurk in a NZ Sov Cit FB group, it was completely bonkers.
A solid choice. I’ve been using it daily ( codeberg.org ) for the last year and it’s pretty great!
The code review features are not as awesome as github but you won’t need those.
It’s going well, thanks for asking. I enjoy using it and improving it every day.
Over the last year I’ve learnt a lot and if I started again today I’d lay some of the underlying foundations differently - in a way that supports a medium sized app instead of a small one. At the time I didn’t know if it would ever grow beyond being small… Good problem to have!
They explicitly said this wasn’t the solution for everyone 😊
Yes, it’s a bit different.
In Kbin they are user-defined. If kbin.social was online I’d share a link.
I agree on the sensationalism in the article.
Biden stumbled and lost the tread in the opening minutes but is doing well now.
Trump is doing a good job at being Trump. Pretty tired of him ignoring the question and talking about whatever he likes and the moderator letting him.
The article links to this as technical proof https://grizzlyreports.com/we-believe-pdd-is-a-dying-fraudulent-company-and-its-shopping-app-temu-is-cleverly-hidden-spyware-that-poses-an-urgent-security-threat-to-u-s-national-interests/
There’s analysis of decompiled source code.
Now we have BBC printing stuff like this:
“It’s going to be like Mad Max.” “There will be no humanity. There will be no charity. There will be no fairness…
I fondly remember the days when rising sea levels, “sometime in 2100 or whenever” was the main climate-related thing. That was nice. Back then, the idea of tipping points was the realm of wild-eyed doomers that no one took seriously. Heat domes? Wildfires? Ocean death? Mass migration? Just science fiction.
Ahh, good times.
No one is keeping track of how enthusiastically they do it or writing official reports on it or encouraging more of it. It’s the interest the govt takes in it that makes it weird(er).
This might all be made up. See https://www.nknews.org/2024/06/fact-check-north-korea-has-not-announced-plans-to-send-troops-to-ukraine-yet/
I’ve never heard of NK News before so - https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/nk-news/. Seems Ok.
In other news articles they’re described as support troops or engineers. They’d be building things, cooking meals, driving trucks, repairing stuff. Maybe occasionally get a HIMARS dropped on them but certainly not storming trenches.
I made an extension called “Cache Longer” which forces static assets to be cached for 6 months, regardless of what the website wants. If any website starts looking janky or stops working, just do a hard refresh (very rarely needed).

Those caveats are pretty standard and uncontroversial when it comes to crime statistics. Source: I studied Sociology 101 at university.
Unless something has happened that would make people less likely to report crimes or less likely for there to be convictions, etc then I see no reason why these crime stats would be any more unreliable than usual.
Yes your frustration is totally understandable. It is a very heated topic and a lot of bad faith arguments are thrown around.
Sometimes I remind myself not to hope that the person I’m replying to will understand my reply or acknowledge that I’m right - instead I post my reply for the lurkers to read, who are far more numerous. The lurker has not publicly said anything so their ego is not fixed on defending their position and they are more likely to receive what I contribute with an open mind.
With this wider context, the goal changes. When the target audience shifts to the readers then there is no longer a need to continue a long back and forth discussion (the person replying to me will never change their mind anyway!) once I have made my point clearly. It’s ok if the other person has the last word if by having it they discredit themselves by demonstrating a closed mind - the lurkers will see it.
I hope this helps.
You might enjoy the book “Climate Leviathan”. It’s about all that and draws on a lot of history and philosophy.
