  I don't think that blog author is male, btw.

  It's harder to detect, but wildly optimistic if they think that people are going to manually type URLs out. It feels like this latest manoeuvre is just to score a win in the arms race against them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Fediverse services do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wordpress if that is counted as federated

  It's an option for the blog owners to select, but it's more federated than Loops (which currently isn't federated at all). As a random example, here is a Wordpress blog post that was federated out to Mastodon, and then federated out to PieFed.

  Do all filters have that 3 level system?

  Yes - that Trump/Musk form is just a shortcut to setting up your own filter - the options on that form equate to 'hide completely', 'make semi-transparent' (so you can see the post, but it's faded out), or "don't set up a filter"

  Also, do you know of an alternative front-end for Piefed?

  There's the one I made (the one linked to by OpenStars), but I think the more promising development is that the Interstellar dev has made some progress supporting PieFed too (Interstellar is already the only app that supports both MBIN and Lemmy, and I like the idea of one app for 3 different platforms).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if we called instances providers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a term, 'instance' is already baked into code, databases, and APIs.

  If I wanted to use an API to block 'lemmy.world', for example, I'd call 'site/block' with the relevant 'instance_id'. That's already 2 different terms for the same thing ('site' and 'instance'), which isn't great, but adding 'provider' into the mix means you're now saying "if you want to block a 'provider', use the 'site' endpoint with the ID for the 'instance'", which is arguably worse.

  Well done Scotland, for drafting and actually enforcing this law.

  It's no surprise that this woman, and the others pictured in the article, are all of a demographic that they're not going to have to actually make maternal healthcare decisions for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed mobile app ready for testing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No. The app was forked from a Lemmy app (Thunder), so there's not much PieFed-specific in it (e.g. there's also no support for Polls). The exception is that it supports post / comment subscribing (I was notified of your comment, even though I'm not the OP of this post).

  I created a new instance for testing the app, and I didn't create any Topics (partly laziness, partly because the whole area is being re-evaluated for user-created Topics, aka Feeds).

  The app will lag behind the site in features, 'cos adding stuff for direct HTML rendering will always be easier than adding stuff that's got to come through an API.
