Some Pixelfed history that you may not know:
I registered pixelfed.org on Apr 15 2018, 2 days before I announced it
I knew I wanted to build a federated IG, but I spent hours picking a name and making sure the .com was available.

This is why I'm so open to feedback and love giving credit to the "smallest" ideas!
This really is magic ✨
