@pixelfed And also, I feel proud to not only build @pixelfed in a way that respects Instagram (and its trademarks, etc) but also to be able to work with their developers on federation support (even though I need to do some work on my side)

It's a tricky situation, and ultimately, the ability to put my ego aside for the benefit of the @pixelfed community is what really matters, on both sides.

Meta has shareholders.

Pixelfed doesn't.

Meaning you have just as much power to make change as me
