Tipiak is a kinda slang way of saying pirate. It comes from an old tv ad from a food company named Tipiak. 3 old grandma screamed "pirate !" after discovering that the food tastes the same as their own secret family recipe (supposedly). It became sort of a meme and is used to say pirate. As the French language is not difficult enough for our English neighbours, we started to conjugate the word: Ce soir je vais tipiaker ce film (tonight I’m going to pirate (download) that film).
The same word is used in the answer from @obercail@jlai.lu with even a new variant: Tipiakeries (pirate thingy)

If you still want to see news sometime, just subscribe to everything silly you want to see and only scroll on your home (subscribed) feed.
Don’t go on all unless you want to doom.
Or use piefed with the same strategy but use the dedicated feeds to sometimes explore news or other subjects.
