 I'm often asked about adding support to @pixelfed to mirror IG accounts, or import IG posts by url Here's the thing: Pixelfed has to respect the ToS of IG, and doing this is a clear violation Now that Threads is here, Pixelfed is likely further being monitored for compliance and I'm okay with this because I have no intention of violating API rules or ToS The best option is to export your IG data (in JSON format) and then import to Pixelfed! Admins will be able to silently reject curated onboarding requests, or send a rejection email. In the future, we'll support custom messages and templates! What you want to see vs what you don't want to see These are the Curated Onboarding email acceptance/rejection templates! Curated Onboarding brings a new dimension to community management. We're nearly finished, and look forward to the roll out later this week! ✨ @dansup Looks super nice. A very small note from my site: I think it would look better if the inputs were blue, too. Maybe a darker blue. @dansup Ooo nice. Building a similar user account system for my nonprofit and curious - what's your breakpoint there? Mine's ~800px I think. Whatever mine is it's way too wide. But at least your step one page length makes me feel better about mine. Good job

Just merged a PR for one of my first open source projects, Bulma Templates I used to be really interested in the Bulma css framework, and am lucky to have on-boarded other contributors that actively maintain it now Open source is magic ✨ ✨ Pixelfed Curated Onboarding is nearly finished, and will be shipping later this weekend! tl;dr :pixelfed: admins can curate sign-ups when open registrations are closed - Inspired by Mastodon with a familiar flow - Easily request more info, users can easily respond with the details using special links - Activity Log tracks events for easy admin - Customize the accept/reject messages - Users can share custom join links that auto follow their accounts Not bad eh 😎

 Great news! And with the first public version of Nightshade released an interesting time for images on the internet. I wonder if one day it will be possible for sites to include this sort of tech as a user option themselves. Nightshade results: Before + After + Settings "To achieve maximal effect, please try to include the poison tags below as part of the ALT text field when you post corresponding images online. morteza-khalili-6vbX0f32tv0-unsplash-nightshade-intensity-LOW-V1.jpg: island" #Nightshade looks very interesting, though it's very resource heavy and won't work with @pixelfed as I initially hoped. Will def keep my eye on this space, and it got me thinking about a desktop #pixelfed client, that would be really cool but I have my hands full at the moment! Pixelfed was forked, I joined their discord and gave them a piece of my mind Forks fucking rule, I'm happy to see this. Open source is crucial to the fediverse, and while we all might not agree on everything, it feels amazing to desire to work with forks Y'all are the real winners, even more so when devs like me do the unthinkable and bring awareness to forks

  @dansup don't get too excited. Most forks die almost immediately, once the anger or misunderstanding that triggered the fork blows over and the forkers realize that maintaining a large OSS project mostly sucks and it isn't really about fixing a few bugs or adding some whizbang feature. If you're actively maintaining and improving the project, the fork is unlikely to gain much steam. (But, I agree the right to fork is fundamental to open source, all other rights sort of spring from it.)  @dansup as far as I know, you do almost all of the development on pixelfed yourself. Would this be an opportunity to move to a maintainer team? I am cree, and belong to a long line of chiefs and medicine men These are passed down to the oldest son of the oldest son I'm the oldest son. My dad was the oldest, his dad was the oldest. Since I was a kid, I've been prep'd for this Generations of traditions have been passed down I struggle with this in many ways, being a gay man most especially. I feel a duty to pass this on to my own son, and to help heal people in need as I was taught I need to embrace this, and this is my first step!

@dansup @dansup Traditions are important. But so is your happiness and all, so hope you can keep the struggle light. There has been long traditions I heard in native cultures of gay, lesbian, trans, two-souls, whatever it was called, I bet it happened before, maybe talk to open/progressive elders that might remember.

 @dansup @pixelfed some people will hate any change, some people will hate not enough change. you can't really keep these folk happy. so manage expectations and get on with your roadmap. but as long as the changes, don't get in people's way, make sense, and there is enough communication for most people there will be some grumbling but they will be fine  An early preview of the redesigned @pixelfed UI It's about time we stepped out of the "federated instagram" shadow While it will remain familiar, I'm eager to build on our Collections (think Pinterest), Exif data (flickr, 500px) and Portfolios (deviantart) features We are not abandoning the social photo sharing aspects of IG Rather we will be extending beyond them to provide new and exciting ways to share photos + videos, more details soon! 📸

  If you are a bottom, you can ignore this. Tops, they never prepared us for Bravo and reality tv. They hid from us, the Andy Cohen fueled drama that has taken over so much of their free time. If your bottom hasn't asked you to watch any Bravo or TLC show with them, you have hope, don't fall into this trap. We thought we had power, little did we know how tricksy these bottoms could be. It's not too late to just say "Nah" I've tried to find support but there is no treatment for this. My advice is to stay away from anything your bottom wants you to listen to or watch, and don't even get me started on Reels. "babe this is totally you" is a red flag, once you open and watch just one Reel, they won't stop. "why didn't you watch those Reels" is a daily struggle Keep them away from podcasts too, they like to congregate, shits dangerous!! I conflicted with Plane Jane, on one hand she is catty AF and we stan them mean queens but on the other hand she just a dollar store Jimbo and I'm not sure her outfits and opinions will sustain her (like girl, Jimbo was giving wacky and sensational but the only memorable moments you have are in confessionals) I want to love her, but I'm bananas over her nemesis lil mrs.Nymphia #RuPaul #RuPaulsDragRace #Season16 #GirlYouBettaWalkThatDuck #NymphiaWind  @dansup I'm against her because from the comments she made about the other girls I could notice she's clearly fatphobic, one of them gays whose religion is to worship skinnyness. AND THEN because she's discount Jimbo. hope she goes home ASAP. So happy for Venus, this was an iconic season and most of all, as a fellow Metis, I couldn't be more proud of her and the indigenous representation on such a national and global stage. cîhkêyihtam mamihcihiwewak nimis GIRL SLAYYYY 💅 👑 ✨ Thankfully we haven’t lost power yet. Sad to see so many political takes about this situation when really it’s due to 2 major (natural gas powered) power generation facilities being temporarily offline and the excessive demand due to the weather. I hope all my fellow Albertans are safe and am sorry for wishing so hard for snow and a white Christmas 😅 |

@pixelfed I really do love Instagram, and hope they eventually add federation support!
We are co-existing peacefully, and together working to bring photo sharing to even more people ❤️
I never thought I'd be saying this, but here we are in 2024 with Threads, and Meta involved in ActivityPub, what a time to be alive!
@dansup @pixelfed Bestest option: dump IG and commit to pixelfed!
@dansup @pixelfed Are there plans to re-enable IG import on pixelfed.social?
