Had our annual property inspection and my partners christmas party this past weekend, didn't get much coding done besides User Domain Blocks. Hope to get that and the new mobile app build out tonight π Auto Alt-Text and Caption Translations are popular requests for the @pixelfed app The only way I'm comfortable implementing these are only if it can be on device, sending media or captions to an API is unacceptable for privacy reasons That being said, I am making progress on this, though its limited to a few languages now, I look forward to shipping and expanding support for other langs omg am i getting old > irc over discord don't laugh, it will happen to you if it hasn't already Preferring irc over discord is a matter of wisdom, this may correlate with age but not necessarily. I miss irc so much, just stumbled upon my old bot I used to run a few ircds, seems like a lifetime ago, maybe I should... /KLINE 5eva *@discord.com :moved2irc @dansup the thought is so damn tempting, esp. considering how hard Discord is pushing to upgrade people to a paid tier. But losing custom emojis, the gif picker, voice channels and all the other things that actually makes Discord great - urgh.. Cabal is the spiritual successor to irc , it is rock solid on the cmd line and ready to go, come say hi on default π

Ngl, a few days ago I was considering giving up on @pixelfed Seeing all the hate and negativity regarding my pf.soc Threads announcement really hit hard Now I'm more focused than ever on our mission, and building better privacy and safety tools to empower users Mountains of achievement rise from the valleys of hardship

@dansup @pixelfed I am new to fedi but was an instagram enjoyer until I realized how sick it made me. I am excited to see pixelfed take off and I think what can be different this time around is we can educate lay people about how to be technologically anticapitalist with FLOSS. if people don't see the "real-world value" of the infrastructure available to them, they aren't gonna know what they're missing. i think the info just needs to be condensed and spread. I'm working on a how to guide thing Well I love it. Thank you because this is what federation is all about. Everyone else can block the domain on a user level or find/make a Thread-less instance if they donβt like it. @dansup @pixelfed I think anyone whos been watching you here can tell you care immensely about this whole space and you make decisions and change them based on what you currently believe is the best path of action. I have seen some people post about their disappointment that you changed course about the fedipact, but I think this is mostly just about finding the right balance of communication. Also the division of pixelfed as a project and pixelfed.social can get a bit confusing at times. Ironically, the most complicated part of domain blocks is the Domain Block settings page where you can view, add, and remove blocks I spent a few hours building this in a way that is compatible with the MastoAPI and look forward to shipping this later this weekend β¨ The ironic part is that you'd think it would be more complicated to handle the block logic across the backend, but that is simple The domain block settings page is more complex because of pagination, search and import/export functionality. I may skip import/export for now so I can ship basic domain block support sooner. Thanks for following along, and more importantly, thank you for helping me prioritize this essential safety feature. β¨ Pixelfed + User Domain Blocks You will soon have the ability as a :pixelfed: member, to block specific domains, similar to Mastodon. This will block content and interactions from the domains you choose. Shipping soon π

@dansup It seems to me that you're making the right decision about federating with Threads: give them a chance, and give tools to Pixelfed's users to control interaction. Maybe your communication could have been better, but you certainly don't deserve any abuse for that. @dansup Hi I see no reason for you to apologise to anyone. You created Pixelfed and have run Pixelfed.social very well from my perspective. Itβs no doubt a controversial topic and people on both sides of the debate feel strongly in their position. Canβt argue against democracy (mostly!) but Iβm content with your decisions/explanations so far. If after a discussion those who dislike/cannot accept the decision of the community can choose to move to another instance. The beauty of the Fediverse! Just a friendly reminder, Pixelfed hides following and follower collections by default and provides an empty outbox. What this means is remote servers or entities who consume or scrape these endpoints will be met with empty/useless data. Pixelfed has always done this π

@dansup How are you going to count Threads? Wait until it has a certain minimum level of ActivityPub support then include it as its own app?

@dansup @pixelfed This is not a good news, you should defederate with threads right now. https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/111579524478265691 @dansup And so we have the first E. Next we'll see how they Extend our beloved Fediverse. And thenβ¦

@dansup Does this mean that I'll be able to start following photographers on mstdn.jp too? (genuinely asking in good faith) @dansup having options is good - I would not want us to just be "censored" in the Fediverse... That's just for pixelfed.social, right? So any other server would still be able to have a different policy

@dansup Any updated timeline for the iOS app to leave beta? I thought a while ago you were thinking you were close but Iβm assuming plans changed?
