  • It’s almost a certainty that not everyone who was in communication with Epstein - not even everyone who visited his island or flew on his jet - was personally involved with raping kids, but I find it difficult to believe that they didn’t see what was going on, even just hints of it, and they didn’t say anything. As far as I’m concerned, that makes them complicit until such a time as they’re proven innocent.

    Yes, to be clear, I am saying that I consider them guilty until proven innocent in this case and I wish that wasn’t the case. If everything wasn’t being covered up so thoroughly, maybe it wouldn’t be, but as it stands, I will never look at or talk about anyone on that list the same way again, unless some irrefutable evidence in their favor comes out at some point.









  • woof.tech is a Mastodon instance (a microblogging app, similar to Bluesky or Twitter), whereas Piefed is a separate thing (content aggregation, like Reddit). They can interact with each other - Mastodon users can tag a Lemmy community in their post to cross-post it to that community on Lemmy, and if they do, they see replies in their Mastodon feed, however I don’t believe it’s possible to comment on a Mastodon post via Lemmy / Piefed (unless they already tagged the community and you’re replying to the Lemmy post.) There’s other software - mbin, for example - that allows direct interaction with both; the framework to allow it is there, it’s just a question of what the specific software you’re using supports.








  • The problem isn’t content, it’s engagement on the content. Folks complain that niche communities have no engagement, just a bunch of posts by a single person… but it feels like 95% of the time, if I comment on those posts, there’s no reply, not even from the OP, and that discourages further posting.

    If you’re willing to engage on everything you post, I don’t see the harm in it, but at that point, why even use a bot? Why not just find content you like (or have the bot notify you of content), then post it yourself as an actual human?
