    1. Found this through a Google search: Piefed has a few nice features that Lemmy and Mbin lack:
    • instance blocking
    • comments combination, posts only appear once
    • keyword filter
    • topics (admin-managed feeds)
    • user-managed feeds, public and private
    • tags
    • flairs
    • multi communities
    1. Yes & yes. They’re built on ActivityPub and interact with each other, though the things that PieFed offers that Lemmy doesn’t (like tags) aren’t visible from Lemmy. And Lemmy can subscribe and interact with posts from PieFed.

    2. Yes. There is a way to export all your details through the Lemmy settings and import through PieFed settings, and vice versa.

    3. App support is sparse at the moment, but the Interstellar app (https://interstellar.jwr.one/) for Android works with PieFed.

    4. Can’t think of anything.









  • If you’re not prepared to make a sacrifice, that’s OK, but at least have the honesty to admit you just don’t care enough about this particular issue.

    My point was, if I make the sacrifice and don’t go, somebody else will buy the ticket. So it’s not that I don’t care enough, it’s that it won’t make a difference. There simply cannot be enough of a boycott from the general public to make any difference to Ticketmaster’s bottom line. Only government intervention and anti-monopoly enforcement will, and that isn’t going to happen either with politicians in Ticketmaster’s pocket.

    In the end I’m missing out on something that could be my last ever opportunity (in the case of the Micky Dolenz concert I discussed earlier), while not losing Ticketmaster a dime.


  • My best interviews were the two where I was calm, relaxed, and myself. And I was offered the job each time.

    Granted these interviews were for a better job than the one I had, but, at the time, I had a pretty good job and didn’t technically need the one I was interviewing for. That allowed me to be more relaxed, I made a few well-placed jokes, and was just myself, which is ultimately who you want them to hire anyway - the person you really are, not some stuffed shirt, stiff version of you.
