How do Tags works in a post? Does it make it visible to Mastodon in a way?
Mastodon has ~1.5 Million active users, so better integration between PieFed and Mastodon could see massive growth in users and activity.
My thinking is, it would be great that, if a user makes a post on c/SouthAfrica that it would automatically be tagged with “South Africa” and be visible as a post on Mastodon.
Comments through Mastodon would then also show up on the post in PieFed, and visa versa.

Misleading pricing:
Using the billing period as the header and showing the price for the billing period… except for monthly—which shows 1/4 the price and says “every week” in smaller, gray text.
Punishing non-subscription payments:
Adding a $6.50 (1400%) surcharge for wanting a weekly one-time payment instead of a recurring subscription.
Charging more for longer periods:
Monthly billing, once you remove the dark pattern and convert it to its actual price, is $2. There are 12 months in a year, meaning it would cost $24 to maintain that subscription for a year.
Why is the yearly subscription $29, then?
If you want to verify this for yourself, you’re going to need to clear your cookies and reload an article a lot. They do A/B tests and show different subscription requied modals. This one was the worst.
This is sneaky, but everyone seems to be doing it these days.
They in big letters advertise €1.53 per month, but on checkout you discover they don’t offer any monthly payment plans, you can only pay annually, and paying “only” one year upfront the price is 36% higher.
For the price you thought you’d be getting you need to pay 3 years upfront.

Index funds should be fine then, even Bernie Sanders has Index funds. Smart people will want to invest.
