I have two big announcements:

1) Pixelfed is no longer pursuing ATProto/BSky support*

2) ActivityPub Starter Kits will be delayed by one more day until I can resolve safety concerns from other fedi developers

I'm not going to risk safety just to ship Starter Kits now, even though it's tempting, I won't put people at risk.

I hope you understand, and know that your voice is heard and is highly valued here at PixelfedHQ ❤️

@dansup I think wider accessibility is always good. For example, many FOSS apps support Windows as well, which helps extend user base.

However, I also agree with the decision. Bluesky can be bridged, so it’s better to focus on more important things.

@dansup interesting discussion in there

Glad that you are taking cues and listening to the feedback, though I do think the current challenges are more technical than political

@dansup I saw that GitHub thread, sorry you have to deal with radical anti-VC like that.

If there's a lesson learned from BS rising is that most social media users doesn't mind the cost of potential enshittification in a nondeterministic timeline.

It's like telling people not to travel to Japan because of the earthquakes or America due to its daily occurrences of mass shooting in public places. Factual, but not helpful.
