feddit.online will live on as a PieFed instance

Fediverse@lemmy.world – 121 points – 1 months ago

There used to be a Kbin instance called feddit.online, which was shut down. @Jerry@hear-me.social just announced on Mastodon, that he brought feddit.online back to life, this time using PieFed. PieFed is a pretty neat alternative to Lemmy and Kbin/Mbin, created by @rimu@piefed.social and of course it's fully free and open source on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi
It has some cool features like “Topics”, which are basically groups of multiple communities that you can view all at once (similar to these Lemmy feature requests: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3071 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1113).

“If you think sex workers ‘sell their bodies,’ but coal miners do not, your view of labor is clouded by your moralistic view of sexuality.”

If you are going to start a conversation by attacking a strawman, then I really will not get into it.

acting in commercial porn is just as normal and unremarkable as any other job

If this is your idea of being "sex positive" then I really do not want to get into this argument. I can guess this will quickly play out to any objection as "pearl clutching" and I will stick to the point that your attitude is completely dehumanizing and that there is nothing "positive" about reducing sex to the mechanical/physical act.

Like I said in the first comment, if you feel so strongly about this, go ahead and create your own and see how far it goes. When you start putting some Skin In The Game you will get more credibility or at least accept that things are Just Not That Simple.

Bet.

DEHUMANIZING? Seriously? I guess you actually are a SWERF. You clearly have no claim to the label "sex positive". Why would you even want to identify as such?

The view I expressed here is consistent with how sex workers view themselves. Sex work is work. They're just doing a job. They don't want to be "rescued" by moralizing radfems. They want more pay and better working conditions, the same as most workers.

And as I've said, I'm definitely interested in doing that. If you know of any IT people that want to work on such a project, send them my way. I've got experience with programming, leadership, and community building to bring to the table.

Given your attitude regarding (more than just performative) sex positivity though, I'm not sure why you're egging me on here.
