As much as I like seeing pixelfed mentioned so often, it shouldn't come at the expense of devs or users thinking its the only option. The fediverse is much bigger than Mastodon, PeerTube and Pixelfed. I hope we don't forget that. "We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them." - Noam Chomsky

  the term freedom has been stolen by conservatives and libertarians. https://www.thefire.org/research-learn/spirit-liberty-speech-judge-learned-hand-1944 My biggest regret is dropping out of high school when I was 15. I learned how to code in my early 20s to stay out of trouble and it worked. I used to dream of working on a project like pixelfed. Never give up on your dreams! @dansup same kind of story. Quit school at 19. Had a business for 6 years which was mainly a hobby because I was too lazy to study. Did that and some receptionist and pub work for 10 years, then got a professional dev job via hobbies. All I've achieved after that is due to open source portfolio and self learning.  @dansup if it's any consolation, I completed high school but technically failed (I still graduated, but my grade was 45%): me learning how to code during highschool & pouring energy into opensource got me jobs, and highschool is all but irrelevant now (apart from in anxiety/stress dreams) So you're maybe not missing as much as you might think! SSB and Manyverse are neat ideas theoretically, but they can't compete with the fediverse. Imagine having to download gigabytes of data before you could use Mastodon or Pleroma.  IMO anything that can't be viewed in a web browser without relying on any client-side state is destined to fail. You should be able to send people links to things. So this automatically means you can't use any p2p protocol at all for decentralized social media. Practicing my video editing skills for a future pixelfed commercial, this is one of my favourite burial samples. I love iMovie. Its simple and it gets the job done. It's been a lot of fun making these pixelfed commercials!

 @dansup my favorite of that album is "Gimme the Prize". Freddie's vocals are (more) terrific (than usual) on that song.    @dansup He looks so young! And then I realized I am a good bit older than Lennon was when he was murdered. And now I feel so old. Jamie XX feat Romy & Olivier - Stranger in a room & SeeSaw live on BBC radio 1. #np #nowplaying Early this year I was working on a GS alternative and realized I made a mistake storing remote profiles. In frustration, I dropped it and I started a new project with that in mind. That project became pixelfed! #noRegrets

I have never had a side project take off like :pixelfed: before, feels crazy that people are still using it daily even though its not finished. Thank you fediverse! I promise I won't let you down. ❤️
