He doesn't even give a shit about any of this, and he probably couldn't place Turkey on a map. He's just giving in to pressure from the regime at the slightest hint that X might be made unavailable should he not comply.
It's not about anything except profits. He would gladly kiss the ring of any dictator willing to pay him for it.
It would almost be less terrifying if he had some sort of fucked up ideology at the core of this. But nah - it's just unhinged capitalism.
Nevertheless, I believe that detaining European journalists for simply showing up indicates that the regime is more nervous now than it has ever been.
I agree Trump is normalizing authoritarianism, but I'm not sure he has had much of an impact on Erdogan. Erdogan has been leaning into authoritarianism for ages now, but few have protested as the economy has been strong. Now that he has destroyed the economy as well and people are protesting, he has nothing except the authoritarian textbook to protect him.
I have no doubt we will!
While we still doesn't have all kinds of active niche communities over here, it is incredible how much the community has grown since I first came here. And that's not really all that long ago.
Thanks for joining us! :)
Here's how it's described on GitHub:
PieFed
A Lemmy/Mbin alternative written in Python with Flask.
- Clean, simple code that is easy to understand and contribute to. No fancy design patterns or algorithms.
- Easy setup, easy to manage - few dependencies and extra software required.
- AGPL.
- First class moderation tools.
Project goals
To build a federated discussion and link aggregation platform, similar to Reddit, Lemmy, Mbin interoperable with as
much of the fediverse as possible.
In short: You know how different Lemmy instances can communicate with each other? That's not limited to Lemmy - they can really communicate with any website running software willing to speak their language.
PieFed is another such software, along with Mbin. So it's basically a Lemmy alternative. It has different features: No mobile app support or alternative user interfaces yet (though it's coming), but in return other useful features such as keyword filters and feeds.
The fastest way to learn about it is probably by visiting piefed.social and checking it out yourself. :)
Is this community thought of as an alternative to !fediverse@lemmy.world (too big) and !fediverse@lemmy.ml (too authoritarian)?
I think !fediversenews@piefed.social is indeed made to be more news oriented than the other existing Fediverse communities, so in that sense I think they can co-exist well. Piefed users don't mind anyway, we have feeds. ;)
@atomicpoet@piefed.social created and moderates !fediversenews@piefed.social by the way, I don't really have much to do with it. :)
Yeah, it's a little ironic to say the least. I suspect the tech giants are more worried about titties than they are of literal fascism.
Thanks!! I should have done that ages ago!
I knew about this in theory, but I used DuckDuckGo for a long time and got too spoiled to a point where it didn't occur to me to just set it up myself.
Thank you for connecting the dots for me, I'll set ut up right away.
Ah, sorry, it's in the context of what Elena Rossini writes about the limitations of the mobile app.
As PeerTube draws content from independent servers, it's hard for them to comply with the content policies of Google and Apple. The PeerTube app you can find in the App Store or Google Play Store therefore only contains content from a very short list of whitelisted PeerTube instances, where Apple or Google have accepted content from these instances to be presented in their app ecosystems.
F-Droid doesn't have such limitations, and as a result the stuff you'll find in the F-Droid app is the same as you'll find in https://sepiasearch.org/ .
Ignoring the stupidity of the overall argument and concept, if there is such a thing as a "lore" for the fediverse I feel like a somewhat important part of it is that like half of its developers are trans people.
Sure, that doesn't mean there won't be trolls over at "free speech extremist" instances, it just means that they can be easily silenced and marginalized. As was the intention from the start, invented in large part by the trans people who pioneered this.
To say the lore of the fediverse is transphobic is just so utterly fucked. If anything, the lore is trans. But who the hell even speaks of the lore of a protocol. I can't even.
