Discussion - Potential piefed instance in the future? (infosec.pub)

Hello m@teys,

I've been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we've been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn't a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we'll actually vote on this.

Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.

Have a good week!

Is there a downside?

Not really, i think. We have the resources, and being an admin isn't too time consuming; surely we can make time for an extra instance.

Would this be in addition to lemmy or a replacement?

Addition

If it is in addition to, is that the permanent plan, would this be working toward an eventual switch-over?

Probably not. There would be way too many potential issues and it's risky.

I should probably try piefed a bit so I understand it a bit better, but it's just a different Lemmy basically, right? Does it federate with existing Lemmy?

Yep. Try https://quokk.au/ (anarchist instance, too!) which is basically the closest thing we have right now

Also if you do try out quokk.au, you can export your subscriptions and settings to dbzer0 in the future.
