There’s an #iOS app for #PieFed called #Blorp.

And my opinion? I’m impressed. The UI puts Reddit to shame—clean, fast, and without all the extra cruft. The whole app is just 26MB!

No ads. No clutter. Just pure bliss.

See for yourself in this screenshot.

#Fediverse

A screenshot of the Fediverse app showing the “Local” feed. The top post is from c/movies@piefed.social by LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone. The headline reads: “Netflix’s historical epic is ‘Lord of the Rings meets Kill Bill’.” Below it is an image of a shirtless, muscular man with long hair and a beard, his face streaked with blood, standing in front of thatched-roof huts. The post links to a Mirror UK article. Engagement shows 10 comments and a score of -2.

The second post is also from c/movies@piefed.social, posted by TheImpressiveX@piefed.social. It reads: “‘The Toxic Avenger’ is now Certified Fresh with 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.”

At the bottom, the app’s navigation bar is visible with icons for Home, Communities, Post, Inbox, and Messages. The status bar at the top shows “ROGERS 5G+,” the time as 5:19 PM, battery at 57%, and the user’s profile photo in the top-right corner.

If you haven't heard @mallory on "Power Station", please take the time for it. She makes the case for an open social web so well, grounding it in movements for social change over the last 3 decades. It's a great talk! #fediverse #socialweb

I have, once again, expanded my list of domain extensions I would recommend:

.am (Armenia)
.at (Austria)
.be (Belgium)
.bz (Belize)
.cc (Cocos Islands)
.ch (Switzerland)
.co (Colombia)
.cz (Czech Republic)
.dk (Denmark)
.fi (Finland)
.ge (Georgia)
.is (Iceland)
.li (Liechtenstein)
.me (Montenegro)
.nl (Netherlands)
.nu (Niue)
.se (Sweden)
.to (Tonga)
.tv (Tuvalu)
.tw (Taiwan)
.ws (Samoa)

All of these countries have strong protections for freedom of speech, including speech that defends and promotes minority rights — such as LGBTQ+ rights. Domain registration is open to everyone... You don’t need to be a citizen or own a business in any of these countries.

@Sarahp This is such a nonsensical law. I think someone should go to court seeking for all email providers to implement the age check too.

(yes, I am comparing the #fediverse with #email)
