On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)

      Meh, maybe some non-tankie (and also non-right-wing) programmer can step up and we start working on a fork and we’ll donate? Maybe?

      Anyone? 👀

          Problem is, piefed in run on a different code so you can’t just convert the lemmy database into piefed.

          With a Lemmy fork, the transition would be seamless.

            Sure, but you can just make a script that migrates it.

            Right now, there isn’t any problems with the code, so there is no reason or incentive to fork it.

                  It’s not technically impossible to fork and port lemmy-ui to piefed (the APIs are similar. Hell, you might not even need to modify the code.)

                  I don’t mind not having lemmy-ui if i can keep using all the other lemmy clients, personally :D

                    True, when people say the apis are similar, do you mean you could use a lemmy client with it, or that it would be easy to adapt a lemmy client for it?
