It may be tempting to celebrate recent social media verdicts, but weakening First Amendment protections harms all of us. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/dont-weaken-speech-protections-just-punish-meta

Whereas governments once used ad hoc measures to suppress online speech, today, states around the world have systematized censorship, creating durable systems of control. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/digital-hopes-real-power-revolution-regulation

Banning 3D parts based on their function is a doomed game of cat and mouse. Algorithmic print blocking will be circumvented by lawbreakers, and legal uses will be censored. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-wont-work-permission-print-part-2

3D Print-blocking laws hand monopolistic power to manufacturers and can criminalize open source alternatives. We need to reject these onerous restraints on creation. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-anti-consumer-permission-print-part-1

The sun is shining. The leaves are blossoming. Sheep skip happily across the fields. It is April, my friends. Server Updates Thank you to those who took part in my little button experiment - I didn’t expect it to go quite so well, and have decided there will be a season 2 of The Button. You can follow along in the new The Button community - !thebutton@lemmy.zip Piefed.zip has a new admin! Please say hello (and thank you!) to INeedMana who has kindly joined the team to help out with keeping the place clean and tidy! Lemmy.zip has seen two updates this month, versions 0.19.16 and 0.19.17. These have been smaller updates, while we wait on the 1.0 release to come! Please Don’t Be a Lurker! If you’re new here - WELCOME! I hope you’re enjoying your time here :) Just one small teeny-tiny request. The greatest gift you can give Lemmy.zip and Piefed.zip isn’t money, praise, or a signed copy of your self-published autobiography… maybe. Its participation. Upvote the things you like. Start a discussion, debate, or ponder about whether cereal is technically a soup. Make new communities if you don’t see one that fits your oddly specific niche obsession. (We don’t judge. Well, we try not to judge anyway.) The fediverse naturally ebbs and flows, tides of people come and go. But if you’ve found yourself oddly attached to this strange little corner of the internet? Wonderful. Help it breathe. Help it grow. Help it be just a tiny bit weirder in the best possible way. So if you’ve gone to the effort of clicking Sign Up and proving you’re not a robot (unless you are, in which case hello and welcome to our new AI overlords), then please, I beg of you: Stick around. Add your voice. It really does make this place better. Donations Want to support us? We have a range of donation options to suit you! Liberpay (Card, Paypal) Liberpay is our newest donation method. You can donate with Paypal or with a card. The link is liberapay.com/dotzip OpenCollective (Card) Our classic donation option, but only supports card payments.

We continue to have some really kind and generous donators and I can’t express my thanks enough. You can see all the kind donators in the Thank You thread - you could get your name in there too! (I am a little behind with this sorry but I will update it soon!) Operation Epic Graphing Piefed.zip For Piefed, we only store data for 7 days rather than 30 (because historically we had less storage space on the server) so all graphs are 7 days unless otherwise stated.

Take care all and I’ll be back in May for some more graphs and all the updates :) Thanks all Demigodrick

“The purpose of all of these laws is to deny young people access to information they have a constitutional right to receive, and also audiences they have a constitutional right to speak to,” EFF’s @davidgreene told @HonoluluCivil. https://www.civilbeat.org/2026/04/teens-are-addicted-to-social-media-hawaii-is-reluctant-to-set-limits/
