Recently there have been two more PieFed instances created, which offer accounts to anyone who wants one:
Feddit.online is hosted in USA which should make it a little faster for people there. It also has a different topic structure at https://feddit.online/topics than PieFed.social has.
Honestly, I am also ashamed to say I’m an American these days. I still can’t believe how the election turned out. I am so distressed.
There are two reasons I opened feddit.online, and the other 9 public decentralized instances.
First, I want to do my part to promote publicly owned social media. I believe centralized, billionaire-controlled social media is messing up people’s heads. Turning them into stupid zombies. They caused the political problems we face because they want more power and money. Nothing else.
Second is to get the technical experience. Running these websites has taught me a lot. And some day I’d like to focus this knowledge into helping Open-Source projects.
My other open servers are: Mastodon, Friendica, Peertube, Pixelfed, Matrix, XMPP/Jabber, Phanpy, Bluesky PDS, and Mobilizon. I also have 3 private servers (WordPress, NextCloud, and an Email server).
You’re welcome to join. Everyone is. The light is on for you!
