It’s been getting some traction over on Mastodon too. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’ve restricted signups.

Looks like it’s too late to sign up, I just tried and it kept telling me to “verify that [I’m] not a robot” without giving me anything (like a captcha) to do so.

That’s what I figured. Good to see that Stamets got an account though! You know the content will be good with him involved.

I didn’t get an account. I haven’t even heard of it until someone just messaged me asking me about PieFed. Whoever took the name is kind of a scumbag.

Wow, that fucking sucks bro. I checked out the instance, and your name (and iconic profile pic) was on the top of whatever they call “All” over there.
If it takes off and you need to create a new name, please keep us informed. Your memes are vital lifeblood to the fediverse, lmao (but seriously everyone here loves you and we wanna keep in touch).

PieFed dev here.
Sorry about that, I've had a hard time getting the captcha working while also having decent XSS protection. I've deployed a probable fix, please try again.
