Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Mbin.
It is worth noting that in PH, using Facebook is free but every other news source uses up a very small data cap. Few can afford to pay for data so everyone is totally hooked on Facebook. Also labor costs are low so buying a “troll army” to flood the zone is extremely cheap. Combine that with a very low level of education and it’s just echo chambers of insanity everywhere.
There are striking similarities between the first Duterte campaign and Trump’s 2016 campaign.

That’s not a deal that’s an agreement on the pre-conditions necessary to begin talking about a deal.
fractal defederation!
piefed.social automatically defederated from discuss.privacyguides.net when lemmy.world did.
piefed.social has now also manually defederated from discuss.privacyguides.net. All instances that follow piefed.social’s defederations will automatically do the same.
In 2023 alone, USAID provided assistance to 130 countries, disbursing $71.9 billion in foreign aid – the majority of which was spent on economic development (27 per cent), followed by health (22.3 per cent) and humanitarian assistance (21.7 per cent) to other nations.
Between 2017 and 2020, USAID responded to more than 240 natural disasters and crises around the world – from famines in the Republic of South Sudan to conflict in Afghanistan, Yemen and the Lake Chad basin.
From 2012 to 2017, it supported more than five million survivors of gender-based violence through services including medical care, counselling and legal help. Such care is vital considering that one in three women will experience gender-based violence in their lifetime.
And in 2016 alone, the organisation provided food assistance to more than 53 million people across 47 countries.

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.
For example
…and so on. The possibilities are endless.
I’m a PieFed dev.
Thanks for looking into it. I totally understand why you’d want to prioritize Lemmy at the moment.
The API is 99% ready to be enabled on all instances but we haven’t pulled the trigger on that yet.
Recently the developer of Intersteller, an app that does Lemmy, Mbin and PieFed, has been working with us. So yeah it’s doable but you have to really want to, obvs.
If you don’t want to see it, you’re not going to.
I’m sure another round of tax cuts will fix it.

Good to hear that, cheers 👍
Yes, that’s done. When you block an instance it is the equivalent of a user-level defederation.
It still federates, yes.
This won’t fool the insurance companies. They’re the ones on the hook for this.
I wasn’t clear - “I’ve made it so that when” should have been “Just now I’ve made to so that when”. The notification(s) you received are from before the change.
Yep, good points.
FYI feeds have significantly expanded recently. Try https://piefed.social/f/forumverse
It’s 1990s style except done in 1920. Imagine the kind of mind that is that far ahead.
