Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I'll see you in the future... maybe sooner than you think?

Edit: Follow up post is here. Don't worry. You're not getting rid of me that easy. I'm just switching to piefed.world

Meh, I decided to just pop for Premium. I realized that of the online streaming services, YouTube is the one I use the most. And Premium gives me access to YTMusic as well as GMM which was paywalled back when Premium started. And all for the same basic price as Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu which I barely use and therefore dropped.

Is this merely switching from Lemmy to something else, or are you leaving the fediverse completely?

If it’s the latter, then I wish you the very best of luck. I don’t know you very well, but I remember you having had some personal issues in the past. Hopefully those aren’t coming back and you’ve just decided to simply move on. Regardless, your memes and shitposting will be missed.

Good luck to you! Or, as a wise man once wrote, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”

I'm an idiot and it's hard to explain but this announcement explains it pretty easily.

It functions on the fediverse, just like Lemmy, but is a different platform/front end. They function damn near identically but Piefed has a more active development team that actually responds to requests and a dev team that isn't transphobic as hell. That's the selling point for me. I think the only feature that's not available on Piefed that I use pretty often is being able to paste images into text blocks. Fairly sure they're working on that too. You can upload them, there's a clicky for it, but it just won't automatically upload and paste the link like it does on Lemmy. Literally the only thing "missing" that I've noticed.

Oh, any specific reason you're switching software?

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 26 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Piefed has a few extra features that I like and I know that the couple features that are currently missing are on their way. The development team is pretty quick to respond which doesn't affect me a ton but I don't want to support a shitty dev team. Which then lines up with the third big reason, the Lemmy devs are transphobic assholes. If I'm going to be posting a lot then I don't want to be doing it using what they made.

Also Fxomt is convincing.

[–] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Haha, convincing or persistent? I guess he can be both :p

LMAO

I'm unfortunately stuck here until Boost implements PieFed support

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I use boost on my phone too! Definitely waiting for implementation from Ruben. But I don't mind waiting. The dudes a superhero as far as I'm concerned.

Big big shoutout to Boost for Android. FANTASTIC APP and my favorite by far.

But will it continue to be your last post in the future? Or is it simply your last post at this moment?

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

They only offer Premium LITE now, which feels extremely ironic after rejecting it all these years. It's like: "So, you declined my offer for years but have you considered... a WORSE OFFER, human?"

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sorry to see you go. If you change your mind, we'll be here to welcome you back with open arms. Be safe.

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Oh don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just a supreme asshole and figured I'd announce my switch to piefed.world in the most irritating way possible <3

Are you getting harassed again or taking a break, cuz life?

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Just being an annoying little shit and announcing my switch to piefed.world in the most annoying way possible. You know. For consistency.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I really like sh.itjust.works and I'm a mod here. But if I wasn't, I'd be going to piefed's main instance in a second. They seem to have a nice configuration. Not a fan of world, but I'm sure there are other great instances.

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've got some philosophical disagreements with the Admin of piefed.social. Nothing negative or anything, we just disagree on a few things and see things differently. Mostly on memes. Lemmy.world and piefed.world I've been lucky enough to have great experiences with which is why I'm sticking around, despite probing from admin buddies of other instances to go to their lemmy or their piefed. Including one particular admin of dbzer0 who wants me to move over, the lovable asshole.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What's the issue with memes? I have a piefed.social account set up for when the platform is mature enough for me to bail on Lemmy, but I'll happily go elsewhere if there's a good reason.

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We just feel differently about how or what memes add to the fediverse. It really is just a difference in philosophy. As far as I'm aware, there are no serious differences. It's just minor. Rimu and I had a discussion about it a while back and there's no bad blood or anything, we see things differently on the Fediverse. Rimu, from what I can tell, prefers things to be a bit more conversational and discussion based. I like things to be a blend of discussions and memes. That's really about it.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Ah, okay. As long as .social is just limiting hosting memes, not blocking them from elsewhere, I don't have a problem with them. I'm with you, I think memes have their place.

I humbly reserve the right to give you a hug, if you'd consent, for all you did for us. Also I would like your permission to kick you in the balls for this "announcement". If your biology doesn't allow for that, don't worry, I've got a magic spell that can give you balls just long enough for me to kick them.

Just kidding, love you <3

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Cast seal buttcrack.

[–] Stamets@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh I've got balls but I do like them in their unsquished state. Perhaps instead you could smash a jello cake? Or maybe even yelling at a tree?

If I could a cup right now I'd go and get one...

[–] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com -2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Man you made this post and commented with all your Alt accounts, nobody cares bro.

"Boy, I sure don't care about this...I better comment to show how much I don't care!"

[–] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Boy I sure don't understand jokes... I better comment to show how much it went over my head.😉
