I remember when the #fediverse didn't take @pixelfed seriously and constantly made jokes about it using PHP, or when I missed self-imposed deadlines

I had to prove myself, constantly, and I admit I almost gave up a few times

All that negativity and hate, I used that as motivation to be better, not just for me, but for other devs

Maybe those haters were busy building fediverse tools like fedidb.org or fediverse.info

Who knows, anyways I'm still here, queer, and building!

@dansup In my experience, people shouting crap about PHP (or whatever language) have a distinct lack of any shipped projects.

It is about shipping and added value, not the tools.

@dansup I would take a php project over Ruby (on Rails) every day. Neither language or framework is perfect, no system is, but I do personally prefer the trade offs that php has over many alternatives.
People going after php likely havenโ€™t used it, or think itโ€™s still php5 days. Haters going to hate. I much prefer trade off discussion instead

Been running a test pixelfed instance for a while to get familiar before doing a public open registration one, and itโ€™s been a great experience so far ๐Ÿ’ช

@dansup @pixelfed The growth of Pixelfed has honestly been nothing short of incredible to see. I personally mostly use the microblogging style fedi platforms, but I think Pixelfed is the most polished and new user friendly platform for most people to start using, I recommend it to people all the time
