It's the pesticides in the grass...

Python decorators look like a great way to add functionality—until they break your type safety, hide function requirements, and turn debugging into a nightmare. This video shows you why decorators can be dangerous, the biggest pitfalls to watch out for, and when you should actually use them.

Self-styled prophets are claiming they have 'awakened' chatbots and accessed the secrets of the universe through ChatGPT.

Each community in PieFed can have it's own set of "flair" options that posters can attach to their posts. Clicking on a flair will filter the community to only show posts with that flair so they function as a filtering mechanism as well as a visual identifier.

Community moderators can manage the flair that are available in their communities:

When creating posts, expand the 'more options' area to assign one or more flair to your post:

Flair doesn't federate yet but it will in coming days.

President Donald Trump filled his first 100 days back in office with the same relentless lying and inaccuracy that was a hallmark of his first presidency and his 2016 and 2024 presidential campaigns.

Some of Trump’s 2025 false claims were about consequential policy matters, others about trivial personal fixations. Some were sophisticated distortions about obscure subjects, others obvious fictions about issues average Americans experience in their daily lives. Many were ad-libbed or posted on social media, but many were scripted into prepared remarks.

When a community needs to move to another instance, it can be a rocky process.

It doesn't need to be, though - as long as someone on your instance has been a part of the community for a while your instance will already have quite a lot of the content from the old community. All we need to do is change our record of which instance the community belongs to and that's what PieFed's new 'Move community' feature does. Check out the video for a quick demo.

The full process is:

1. Ensure the copy of the community on this instance has been active long enough to receive a decent amount of posts. The move process will not copy posts so having an account on this instance subscribed to it for a while is the only way to get old posts here.

2. Lock the old community to by setting it to 'moderators only' so no one else can post in it.

3. Create a post in the old community announcing the impending move to piefed.social. Paste the url of that post into the field below.

4. Submit the 'move community' form (there is a link in the sidebar of every remote community) to send the request to piefed.social admins.

5. piefed.social admins will review your request, turn this community into a local one and contact you.

6. Update your announcement post in the old community to encourage people to join the new community at

remember...

Complete shitshow.
