Here’s the logic:
wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent https://example.com/
But Piefed is federated? Also it seems kind of dickish to simply copy content with the intent to host it yourself with ads.
It makes sense if you’re a scumbag of a human
You’re nothing but a rat bastard who is scraping piefed.social to fill your own site with content so you can monetise it, all while driving up their hosting costs for your own benefit. That’s pretty low—have some shame…
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?
It’s something a real human would understand
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

Sloppy copy pasta of other people’s content to serve your ads.
That’s what is killing the internet.
Sir, you are polluting our internet, stap!
Are you aware of the Piefed API? It’s provided specifically to allow building front-ends and bots while avoiding scrapping.
We need to bring back calling people slurs on the internet.
Why would you mirror, when you could federate?
Hey, just so you know this is legally iffy.
PieFed.social is hosted in the EU, and this amount of scraping can fall under the Copyright Directive 2001/29/EC and the Database Directive 96/9/EC.
Even if the content is public, EU law can restrict bulk extraction and republication. Especially if you’re mirroring a substantial part of the site or making it available through your own frontend.
Might be worth reconsidering what you’re pulling and how you’re using it, or atleast making sure it’s legal.
edit: I’m obviously not a lawer, this might have no problems related to that, but I would make sure if I were you.
It’s just the UI I cloned, content is curated by me and my team
So, good news: Since you apparently aren’t scraping the content, only the UI, my first comment is irrelevant. And this probably doesn’t break AGPL.
Bad news: If I’m understanding you correctly you are copying and re-serving someone else’s page design and layout, which might fall under reproduction of copyrighted material and may be an even bigger issue than what I said in my first comment. Especially since your Terms of Service appears to claim ownership of the design.
If I were you, I would really make sure you aren’t breaking law with this. Seems like something that could come back to bite you very easily.
Thanks for calling yourself out so that I know I should never ever go there.
Grow some ethical backbone.
But why

This is ethically wrong and in violation of the GPL, but the thing bothering me is that it was badly executed
Piefed UI is open source, there was no need to use wget to retrieve the generated UI files, their source is available on the public repo
I guess that’s why other folks are thinking OP scraped content
