But Piefed is federated? Also it seems kind of dickish to simply copy content with the intent to host it yourself with ads.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why would you mirror, when you could federate?
Are you aware of the Piefed API? It's provided specifically to allow building front-ends and bots while avoiding scrapping.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
What do you even mean?
So it's... A mirror of piefed.social with your own frontend?
Why?
Have you heard of Floof? It's a cryptoshare claoudeservice from zink that unifies beek and fraw to make a new service called zwroak (pronounced croak)
I have forked Floof and integrated it with Qak on a b0rf backend. It's called √πy (pronounced âèk)
Just a FYI: Qak was forked into wR8vl last week because the main developer had a racist meltdown on Blopr.
Mmmh, technobabble
