Oh alright thanks, if a UK block is likely for Piefed.zip in the future, I should probably look for another instance.

Thank you for hosting these servers :)

Can I just ask, because I find it confusing, so both lemmy.zip and piefed.zip are hosted by a UK company, but lemmy.zip blocks UK IP addresses, while piefed.zip doesn’t. What is the rationale behind these decisions? I would get lemmy.zip’s UK block if it wasn’t run by a UK company, because that law is indeed bullshit, but I can’t figure out the reason for discrepancy between the two servers. (Not that I’m arguing that piefed.zip should block UK IP’s too, I rather enjoy using the site :) )

It’s a vibe-coder ai bro dude guy complaining about ai.

the irony is rich…

A bunch of local groups in my area are only on Facebook, so I still visit every week or so.

Came here to mention F.B. Purity too, it’s pretty much the only thing that makes FB tolerable.

And yea, I only visit FB for some local community groups and pages, and to chat with family in Messenger. I only share articles on my profile maybe once a year, and stopped uploading photos sometime before the pandemic 😅 But sadly it’s still the most mainstream social platform in Europe.

I just checked my browsing history, I haven’t used any genAI since last December 🙃 (and even before that only a handful of times)

I think I’d be fine…

damn, I didn’t notice the sarcasm until the handicap plates 😅

afaik some important mod tools are only available on old reddit, so if old goes, so will many of the remaining subreddit mods who haven’t left after the API shutdown

my family still uses Facebook Messenger, it’s only the tech savvier people I hung out with on Telegram that I managed to switch to Signal 😮‍💨

did you try these? https://signalstickers.org/?s=author%3ATelegram+animated%3Atrue

Very disturbing, it was the last straw to switch my chats (besides family) to Signal.

I had held onto Telegram for years because of their fun animated stickers, but yesterday discovered that Signal has those too, actually all sets from Telegram are available on unofficial Signal sticker sites, so now I’m all sorted 😅
