Just saying, but there's a hi-res shonky pie at https://piefed.blahaj.zone/static/media/ShonkySide.webp but what you've done here is totally shonky enough. So good job.

I mean I can relate.

I sold my car at loss because I couldn't abide the fascist shit he was flinging around everywhere.

Despite loving the car itself, I couldn't love myself owning it and being a moving advertisement for him.

I still hate that I gave money to fund a person's decline into being a drug addled, woman hating, Russia supporting, stingy-assed, election rigging, right wing megalomaniac.

What's really interesting is when people take an actual lawn mower like the Kei class Honda Beat with its 3 cylinder 7k RPM mid chassis engine and engine swap it with a 200HP motorbike engine to get one of the most insane sleeper cars of all time.

I used to have a VW Polo that had turbo upgrade, full muffler refit, high flow cat, pod filter, tuned ecu, upgraded brakes, tires, adjustable suspension. This little thing looked like a basic nothing. Stock standard white paintjob piece of rubbish, sitting silent at the lights. Until you punched the pedal, then it'd roar like a dragon and take off like a damn rocket. It wasn't anywhere near as good as my Golf R overall, but it was a stupidity fun little go-cart.

You don't have to, your existing account will work perfectly fine.

But on the other hand, we're not rationing them out based on how many you already have either!

From what I understand (and note that this is unsubstantiated, because we just simply don't have the same size userbase/activity here), while lemmy is fairly good, piefed is supposedly even better.

The caveat here is of course that over time, software maturity and changes in prioritization of features (sacrificing efficiency for functionality or ease of use usually) results in certain decisions being made that affect the resource requirements.

It happened with lemmy (it used to be way more efficient than it is now), and it will happen to piefed too.
