There's a good few small ones.
It can work without relays anyway, an appview can crawl PDSes directly.
So, bluesky works differently to fedi.
A PDS stores your posts/comments/likes/blocks/articles/whatever. These all get crawled and saved to a relay.
An appview connects to a relay and sorts through all the posts, and indexes them.
They handle all the interactions, rather than passing messages between servers.
Anarcho-communsit, explicitly.
db0 isn't pro-corpo-ai, its pro-ai-the-technology.
He is a dbzer0 user.
That;s a great way to put it.
Its like denouncing all of reddit because of one subreddit (not saying you shouldn't denounce reddit).
Do you remember #freesydney.
Those people were delusional.
They aren't pro corpo Ai.
They're very much against the mass scraping/ddos ai companies are doing.
Hell, db0 contributes to [email protected] a lot.
Thats completely untrue :) .
app.wafrn.net is a separate app that connects to bluesky, atproto.africa is an alternate relay, deer.social is an alt appview.
You can use bluesky without relying on bluesky now.
then why isn't my attic full of squirrels?
Sure, but I don't see why that would push people to use piefed specifically, since lemm.ee's shutdown didn't have anything to do with the lemmy software.
That's mostly not true. You can block al the ai comms (I did, I'm not too much of a fan of Ai images) and its fine.
