@dansup keep at it. I'm pretty new to the Fediverse. Made this account with Mastodon a few months ago & made a Pixelfed account last week
Platforms like Cara need funding to survive & it's a hard balancing act to be able to survive without selling your soul WHILE also making it attractive to artists & people who just want to look at pictures.
Something like Pixelfed takes back control & puts it into the hands of communities while still being accessible to everyone. This is important work.
