Our Kickstarter is launching soon, help us prove that we, the people, can build healthy and vibrant communities, without being controlled by vested interests who don't share our values. Recent events have proved how vital these open and federated platforms are, help us continue building for the people. Spread the word ✨ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixelfed/pixelfed-foundation-2024-real-ethical-social-networks

    @pixelfed@mastodon.social Let's work on that kickstarter/Mastodon integration. From a browser, I clicked the link, wanted to be notified when the kickstarter opens, and it asks me if I want to login with Google or Apple or email 😭 But I do look forward to trying out and supporting pixelfed !

    @pixelfed@mastodon.social what will the money be used to do, other than pay for infrastructure? Is there a plan to fund work on specific features? What about paying other people to work on the project? The kickstarter page doesn't offer any insight to these questions.

    @pixelfed@mastodon.social they are worried you are gaining traction and costing them customers. watch for an avalanch of dcma takedown notices on no grounds but the hope you cannot afford to risk fighting them.

    just a quick reminder to anyone seeing this that it's been less than a month since the lead dev used the official account to boost his long, cringily appropriated-Black-American-English, now deleted trying-to-be-a-"they-can't-keep-us-down"-rap-song rant (he is neither American nor Black) apparently relating to a dispute about potential in-app ads with a sometime contributor (https://social.besties.house/@h/113730903264902154) who is like, 18? also did not react well to being (gently) called out (by another fedi dev, not some random) about said language use. and probably less than a month before he was Not Making Friends by being all like "i'm progressive BUT fuck the postal strike" (you haven't heard about it because it was in canada sorry) so personally i would hold off on any significant public or financial support for pixelfed until the project gets some actual governance where it's not just one emotionally immature guy having the keys??? also just in case this is relevant everyone involved is extremely queer and gay. him, the devs, me. #FediMeta

    @pixelfed@mastodon.social If you need to, I’d rather have ads than corporate ownership and an unfederated platform. Just please no tracking/targeting. Let us choose our ad categories.
