 I really appreciate all the kind words of support, sometimes it feels like I only see negative feedback and while I usually take that in good stride and strive to resolve the underlying issues... I am only human, and sometimes that negative feedback stings more than usual Rather than letting it get to my head, publicly acknowledging this, and my struggles, are my therapy Your encouragement means the world to me and keeps me motivated! Thank you for believing in me and the @pixelfed app ❤️ I had a pretty rough day and contemplated just giving up on @pixelfed because it seems like I can’t catch a break But after calming down, I started to remember all the big milestones and the people who believe in our platform and in me I’m not ready to give up, in fact this was the kick in the ass I needed to get my priorities straight and focus on shipping the app ASAP and also Groups I’m a few months behind on my NLnet Groups milestone and need the money so that’s my focus after the app ❤️

It sucks to see users flock to another platform and not Pixelfed because the lack of official apps in the app stores. I'm not resting until the app is ready to ship, enough is enough!

 @dansup keep at it. I'm pretty new to the Fediverse. Made this account with Mastodon a few months ago & made a Pixelfed account last week Platforms like Cara need funding to survive & it's a hard balancing act to be able to survive without selling your soul WHILE also making it attractive to artists & people who just want to look at pictures. Something like Pixelfed takes back control & puts it into the hands of communities while still being accessible to everyone. This is important work.  We're setting up Push Notifications for our mobile app, you may notice requests to push.pixelfed.net, this is why! We may add support for other apps in the future, but for now they will be limited to the official app.

  @pixelfed Any word on when the official Pixelfed App will be released to the App Store‽ It boils my blood to hear folks insinuate that #PHP is the source of their performance problems and they should switch to microservices in another language to fix the performance issues. Maybe spend a little bit of time figuring out where your bottlenecks are and fix those, first! (This may or may not be a sub-toot.)

   The new @pixelfed app is the 4th major rewrite, and I'm glad I waited, because the latest (open source) version is faster, prettier, and more native! First impressions are everything, so I'm going to get it done right with pixel precision 💅 Sup, Loops and Later are separate apps for a reason, they will eventually be integrated but will remain independent apps/services I'm building all these services tightly integrated because that simplicity is how you grow and build on the network effect 🚀

Someone asked ChatGPT for help fixing a federation issue in @pixelfed and it worked lol https://github.com/pixelfed/support/issues/195#issuecomment-2151033143 Probably the worst (definitely the longest) chart I've ever made. But it was fun! Experimenting with a "Made with AI" badge for servers that allow AI generated content if properly labelled. We're also working on a setting to hide Made with AI posts on feeds, so you can better curate your experience!

 @dansup does this also apply to images crafted by hand but using AI in their design / creative process? What if an artist creates parts on an image with AI but refines the rest by hand? I guess the latter feels more like deserving this flag as the former does. Then again you might want to also track works where AI played any part at all  @dansup Anyway, nice idea. (I think that "High Coherence Media Generator" is a better name)

  @dansup This finally may be my incentive to ditch #instagram. Every day I am getting closer. No #ads and no #algorithm and an overall healthier #experience.

To me, Pixelfed is the best part of the fediverse
I love it
@dansup @pixelfed I really don’t know how you do it. But appreciate it all your hard work and dedication to the PixelFed project and community.
