Announcing: Piefed.zip - our new Piefed instance! (piefed.zip)

Hi All,

As the Fediverse continues to expand, we're looking at other platforms we can run with our ethos - open federation, user choice, and fair moderation.

We've seen lots of talk about Piefed, and the benefits of the platform, such as better moderation, combining multiple communities into topics i.e piefed.zip/topic/cats, and the ability for users to better control their own experience.

To that end, we've decided to run our own Piefed instance, located at piefed.zip (I know, original!)

This is very much still under construction, but we feel is now able to accept new users, should anyone wish to join.

If you're interested please check it out, or feel free to ask any questions!

PS - this doesn't affect our Lemmy instance in any way.

I'm curious what performance and resource usage is like. Building a social media service in Python seems unusual.

We will be doing our usual server updates for piefed as well so will share this info!

I find that sentiment weird. Python is a popular language for social networks. Instagram, threads, and some parts of the clusterfuck that is facebook are written in python.
