You're here. For me this has been a good replacement for whatever I was earlier using Facebook for.

What is there on Facebook that PieFed or Lemmy don't cover?

You need to follow some PieFed or Lemmy communities and you'll see their content. But not in a way that works very well. I really like the idea behind Friendica a lot, but it's also clear that its developers have lost the track of their own code and do not completely understand what the program really does anymore. The idea is that there's something like PieFed that understands also several other protocols than just ActivityPub, so you can use one thing to follow almost all of your social media. Which is an awesome idea! But, it doesn't really work in practical terms.

It looks like there is no well-thought architecture behind its programming code, and instead they just add features atop other features without thinking about consistency or clarity of the programming code.

Typically when the UI is as convoluted to use that of Friendica is, there are also a lot of security problems in the program. I assume that it is possible to breach any Friendica account using some bug that has made its way into the code.

At least Wiktionary completely agrees with you!

That's the same as saying there's NO ONE on PieFed.

FenderStratocaster, you are on Friendica yourself. Your comment saying there's no one on Friendica is visible on Friendica – therefore, you are there just like you are Lemmy, PieFed and mBin.

(But yeah, my use of Friendica mostly ended after two days, because it's clunky as hell! I had a feeling that whatever little thing I want to do, I need to first fight the UI like a mouse trying to kill a dragon.)

If the driver turns evil, put a towel on your eyes. An evil catsplatter beast from Ford will assume that if you cannot see them, they cannot see the road. And then, something. But don't panic :)

Literally it's more like "non-speakers", though, isn't it? Nie + mowić = Not + to speak.

So, maybe in contemporary Polish the word has been polished to mean "mute", but could be that they were "those damn non-speakers [of our Polish] across that river-thing!"

If you have enough space, or can create enough space, for a new partition in a better format, you can always move some files to the other partition, then shrink the NTFS partition to make space for extending the new partition, copy some files once again, and continue until done.

Or, you borrow a large hard drive from someone, copy all files on it, nuke the NTFS partition, create a new partition in another format, then copy the files from the borrowed hard drive back on the new partition.

Or a combination of these two.

That's why you pay attention when choosing what instance to be on.

Not in US politics. If you have 51% of votes of whoever is The Party at the moment, you can make decisions without others impeding on them.

If one party got 51 % of votes, then that means 26,01 % of all votes is enough to decide about the all of the country's things alone.

At least I don't want to spend much of my brain power deciding what individuals to block. I prefer there's a moderator who thinks roughly the same way about things things as I do. It's better not to be overzealous with the moderation: I am okay with a little bit of manual curating of my feed, but the things most obviously unacceptable to me should be banned by the instance.

Also: If a lot of people see the messages of ICE, I am not really likely to ban them either, because I want to know what is going on in the world around me. But if I know they are being banned by a lot of people because whole largish instances are banning them, they no longer are goin on in my part of the world. At that point it becomes more of a choice to want to hear them.

maga.place was created by the troll factory in Sankt-Peterburg, the Russia.

In a way you could argue that ICE in its modern form is a Kremlin project as well, but it's that only indirectly. Maggotplace is a 100 % Russian-led project, directly.

I did understand that :)

But still: Verifying means you officially acknowledge their existence. And they are horrible pieces of shit; thereby acknowledging their existence should automatically include making the facts visible. There's no reason not to call evil evil.

EDIT: Also, your comment was well-written and I have no need to actually argue against you. So, do not worry. I do not completely agree with you, but my disagreement is not terribly strong either :)
