I really wish projects like this would prioritize having an English-language presence on fedi.

It was honestly quite easy to take 10 minutes, scroll thru my list of subscribed communities, remove every one hosted on .world, and then block the instance.

The next step beyond that is a little more involved: creating equivalent communities on other instances where needed.

Anybody got a summary of the drama I smell behind this?

I gotta check out these guys' work.

It was very easy to dump the community or two I subscribed to on that instance.

I'm leaning that direction if only because I have decade-old Python experience which I could potentially dust off and use to contribute to development if I start "dogfooding" PieFed and find things I want to fix or improve.

The NYC mayor is pretty powerful in terms of both budget and political sway: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23626980

I think ultimately issues like this will be why I don't choose Lemmy when I finally get around to standing up my own threadiverse node.

The biggest loser besides Cuomo in the NY mayoral race was The New York Times

Edit:

but at least on Reddit there is more actual human content.

lol. lmao even

I have a consumer tier Ironwolf that isn't too loud, it does make a little noise but it's not a whine, more of a very low rushing air type noise when spinning (like the "brown noise" another commenter mentioned) and fairly quiet grinding when it's active. Not the quietest drive ever, but less noticeable than some I've had in the past. The periodic thermal calibrations from a 2.5" HDD I have inside a mini PC next to it are more noticeable.

There's even an unofficial AppImage of it now, which is nice because the one that deals with the Flatpak seems to break every time the Flatpak gets updated.
