I’m mindblown that serious career/business people still post on X. Don’t they see the brand damage they’re causing to their company and themselves?

Sounds really good!

You’re planning a version that runs on Linux too, right? Your screenshot looks like Windows.

If you could have it track browser usage too then it could donate to Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, Mastodon, etc.

Please add PieFed to the allowlist.

Yes, it’s tricky. I don’t remember which instance it was but it was one of the smaller lemmy instances with roughly the same MAU as Piefed.social, tho. Not any of the top 6 Lemmy instances.

It could have been an outlier. Looks like lemmy.mods4ever.com is much more reasonable although that’s a single-user instance so it’s going to be the absolute minimum.

I can’t find/remember the post but recently an admin shared some resource usage graphs. The thing that jumped out at me was their Lemmy instance was using 32 GB of ram while their PieFed instance was using 2 GB of ram. Maybe a little more, but it was low single digits.

Maybe their piefed graph did not include postgresql, which should be 2 GB just by itself… That would bring the total up to around 4 or 5 GB. piefed.social uses between 4 and 5 GB, too.

CPU usage was quite similar between the two.

I really noticed that problem on Spotify. Lots of 2 minute tracks/songs that are just one musical idea with no development or iteration of it and really limited recommendations.

Tidal was much better.

I guess they’re busy terrorising communities elsewhere.

I’m a flask developer but even so I would use PHP for this. There are a million php-based contact form scripts on the web and configuring caddy to use PHP will be easier than python/flask.

As for the sending email part - don’t run a smtp server locally, too much hassle. Smtp2go has a free tier which will be fine.

Seems like OP just copy and pasted some perplexity.ai output.

IMO Lemmy/PieFed is safer to run because the community mods will delete anything illegal, which will delete it for you, too. About 5 instances host 95% of communities worth joining so it’s easy for us to coordinate defense.

Mastodon is thousands of instances and more wild west. Bad stuff can come from anywhere.

What a nightmare. Everything gets much harder at their scale…

Very interesting, thanks.

Good idea, I’ll add something similar to PieFed.

It that a lot of money? I can’t tell anymore.

I’m surprised this is not more popular.

Although Gates said investment to battle climate change must continue, he argued that US President Donald Trump’s cuts to USAID threaten a more urgent problem

He’s not wrong. Trump’s cuts to USAID will cause the death of millions in quite a short time.

Lucky for you, python is quite readable and the person who wrote it is available to answer any questions you might have.

On PieFed, that character is automatically converted to ‘th’.

Yeah I’m not arguing with you on this just sharing information I found.
