Oh my bad lol, didn’t have a close enough look at that post
- Comment on 5 hours ago:
I agree adding context is great, ideally even add a summary so a person doesn’t have to click.
“You can click it and find out.” How is that not clickbait?
- Comment on 5 hours ago:
Your own posts have clickbaity titles. https://piefed.social/u/artyom
It’s sadly basically unavoidable
- Comment on 6 hours ago:
If something is obvious click bait I do the same, but many legit authors use clickbait because it’s needed in this attention economy.
(see the video link I posted above)
- Comment on 6 hours ago:
Let’s also not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Aka. discredit any and all content just because of a clickbaity title.

- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 3 days ago:
Yea Nextcloud already has a replacement for most of Microsoft. 365 and is Open Source.
No need to reinvent the wheel

Good on them, but I Wonder why they can’t just build on top of something open source like Nextcloud.
It already has the majority of the Office-365 suite

You don’t need to be a rocket surgeon to know bees aren’t poisonous, they’re venomous
- Comment on Rumor turns true as Spotify hikes Premium subscription prices in the US, Estonia, and Latvia 2 weeks ago:
They’ve released ‘Platinum Premium’ in a few countries now.
If you’re a paying Premium user, you now get adds to upgrade to ‘Platinum Premium’ which is just features you used to have that have moved to a more expensive plan and AI

Bees are venomous not poisonous.
Where’s my golden star?
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 2 weeks ago:
For that we need a LOT more users. It’s kind of a chicken and egg situation.
Hopefully we can capitalise on the next Rexit.
In the past lots of people moved over but left because of the terrible UX. I think PieFed has solved most of the UX issues.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 2 weeks ago:
Out of curiosity, which instance?
- Comment on What is the Best way to migrate Google-Photos to Immich? 2 weeks ago:
I recommend taking the path I did. Run Immich in parallel with Google-Photos for a few months and see if you like it.
I did so an synced my camera roll from my phone (~6000 photos) and it works great. I also added some family members etc. and they also like it.
Now in the process of moving everything over.

Yes
- Comment on What is the Best way to migrate Google-Photos to Immich? 2 weeks ago:
It would be great if there was kind of cleanup plugin for Immich.
Like Tinder for pics you want to keep or dump. I could spend 10min every day in the train to swipe left or right on pics I want to keep or remove.

I’m a fan, people shouldn’t vote for a person but for representatives. And those representatives should have power based on how many votes they have and decide on laws.
I like how the EU works, it’s flawed in ways but there is no huge concentration of power in one person.

Billionaires control both the Democrats and the Republicans.
As long as the two party system exists a candidate that isn’t in the pocket of Oligarchs doesn’t stand a chance.
Money wins elections in the US

- Comment on Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025 2 weeks ago:
I’m curious to know what PieFed’s user base would look like.
Most people simply don’t know about Lemmy/PieFed.
I think once features mature a bit more, if there is another rexit we could see numbers tripple or more.
Many people didn’t stick around with previous rexit’s because the UX sucked.

- Comment on Why did the proposed *Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance* project involve pumping water instead of siphoning it? 1 month ago:
Jip if you try to “pull” water higher than 10m at sea level it starts to boil because the pressure drops that low.

That’s different to ‘becoming domesticated’
The claims about their snouts are evolving to become shorter, their eyes becoming bigger, and them becoming more friendly are all false.
They’re adaptable sure, but they’re not evolving to become domesticated.

I found this meme scrolling while waiting for my code to compile with muisic playing in the background and having a web-based game open on one tab
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I actually saw a racoon scientist debunk that.
The research saying they are becoming domesticated is BS.
