mesmerized doesn't begin to describe the fedi for me, and the fact I can contribute to it in some way is like a dream

I'm a self-taught hs dropout and I was lost for a few years until I learned webdev, it helped me grow and I still struggle with imposter syndrome but I wouldn't trade this for the world

Thanks for putting up with me ❤️

@dansup Great to hear, mate!

It's weird that imposter syndrome plagues everyone, right? Slaying the dragon and shipping things helps as a reality check, but it never goes away.

Steven Pressfield really was onto something when he wrote about the many faces or resistance!

@dansup I don’t know shit about programming but your app is pretty sweet. I’m assuming that the server side of things is also good for the app to work like it does.

@dansup Your work is just amazing! Pixelfed was something really needed and it's incredible that there's now a fully functional and open source alternative to instagram (and federated, of course!). Thanks a lot for it and for your many other projects! 🙂
