Oh my god, guys. The fediverse is changing my life. In an age of a profit driven, AI enshittified internet, fediverse platforms like Lemmy and PieFed are a fucking god send.

I swear to god, I feel my brain is being cooked alive by the overwhelming algorithm bullshit that Instagram and YouTube is driving down my throat. But since discovering PieFed? On top of using Mastodon, most of my social media takes place on the fedi now. What a fucking privilege. I can reach the end of my days without my brain feeling like jelly… I can use these platforms without feeling like I’m causing harm to myself.

Is it perfect? No. But it doesn’t need to be: it’s not infested with AI bullshit, and most my instances defederate Nazi bars.

This is the internet I’ve been yearning for the past couple years.

I’ll be contributing to PieFeds source code whenever I can. This shit is so fucking important for the internet.

The exciting this is the Fediverse is ANYTHING you want it to be.

There's YouTube - Peertube, Twitter - Mastodon, Reddit - Piefed, Forums - NodeBB, Blogs - Ghost, Twitch - Owncast.

The only thing Big Tech can do that we can't or won't is take away peoples choices, rights and enshitify everything.

Contribute where you can! Doesn't have to be code. Just being here gives us all more power. Those companies don't want to admit WE ARE THEIR CONTENT. Without people they're useless. We're taking it back.

I'm no Dev, so I started a show to talk to folks. Do what makes you happy and share. Even if it's as simple as just modding a community and being friendly and welcome.e. we do this together!
