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

    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.

        Not worries. Meant every word. Plus I got to make an H2G2 reference. Everybody wins.

          Hell yeah. I’m just sad I couldn’t find a way to weave towel into something. I’ve been going through some shit and I am TIRED.
