It's been a productive week, despite everything that happened!

- Shipped Threadiverse fedidb page
- Revived my ActivityPub Developer Tools, shipping soon
- Made progress on several mobile app features/improvements
- Started a new Kbin app
- Improved Pixelfed moderation tools
- Reached out to someone who may be able to help improve safety/moderation (if he is willing)

Let's go 🚀

Btw, I care a lot about safety, Pixelfed is the first AP project that allows users to disable comments, DMs from people you don't follow are hidden by default, and we support shared blocklists and several other features!

I've closed registration on pixelfed.social several times, randomized the pixelfed.org/servers directory and mobile app onboarding.

I'm hellbent on ethical and sustainable growth.

You can come to your own conclusions, my actions speak for themselves.

This is so badly needed on mastodon and other fedi servers.

Do you support comments control too? Like deleting a particularly annoying reply instead of completely disabling comments?

@lanodan We may have our differences, but I do mean it when I say I'd love for us to work together.

I think he would provide a lot of valuable insight into how we can improve our safety and moderation tools, and I hope he considers it.

Regardless, it's crucial to the success of our projects to grow and evolve based on a diverse user base, and you have to challenge yourself and push beyond your own bubble for that, I think it's worth it.

@dansup tough to take their criticism seriously when the complaint is so open-ended.

Keep up the great work, just signed up the other day and am excited to explore pixelfed

And even more excited for any kbin client updates!

@dansup Constructive criticism is totally fair of any open source product, but I just can't wrap my head around how people can be so harsh about the people that are just trying to create alternatives to apps run by untrustworthy corporations. As a dev wanting to get into fedi/AP it's incredibly demotivating. Well, keep up the good work! It's been cool seeing progress on everything you're working on!

@dansup How is the Pixelfed iOS app coming? Apps are the main way that people access services. Perhaps pause on new features for a while?

@dansup out of curiosity, what made you pick Kbin over Lemmy to build an app for?
