@dansup using Pixelfed mostly on my phone with an OLED screen I actually prefer the dark mode. Both modes look stunning, though.  @dansup saw the screenshot, and I really like it. I came to prefer darkmode-everywhere approach, if only to avoid my screen brightness piercing my eyes like the sun in the morning before I had my coffee :D @dansup I like the dark mode more because the picture really shines on a dark background. Also it lets me browse pixelfed in the dark. But I still use light mode during the day  @dansup honest? trustworthy? $2000 a month? sign me up, i am both sweet and a baby  Love the new Explore tab, it's neat to see favourite/boost counts too. I think this is a great compromise between discoverability and encouraging ethical use. You have to go out of your way to see popular posts/topics, they are not injected into your timelines like on other platforms. I'm really happy in my relationship But, my partner refuses to watch Harry Potter or Interstellar with me. He doesn't like sci-fi or fantasy but can binge Real Housewives no problem ๐ I'm mostly joking, but do y'all know any spells or targeted ad keywords I can use to fix this? #relationshipAdvice #askFedi #dontBoostOrHeMightSeeThis

@dansup I have seen Interstellar about 5 times FYI. Just a question: I am based in Quรฉbec and I think you are in Ontario. The question is this: did the Freedom Convoy, and now the War in Ukraine, affect your Pixelfed insfrastructure? Thanks for letting me know. @dansup No real advice from here. Maybe initiate a 'classics' tradition - like every Saturday that you're not away you watch a classic movie. For cultural education not just for fun โ meaning this might include genres or specific movies that might seem uninteresting. That's what we're going to try and I definitely will sneak in some personal interest in there ๐ What a wild ride this has been, I can't believe Pixelfed will be 4 years old in a month! I'm super pumped about our upcoming features and improvements, this will be our best birthday yet ๐  @dansup Ohhh! This is where you backflip and announce support for hexagonal NFT avatars, right?  I really struggle with being able to separate Pixelfed from my personal life on this account. Pixelfed feels like my whole identity on the fediverse, and its awkward when I am personal because it feels like I'm using my position with Pixelfed to my advantage. It feels fake and I hate that

@dansup may I suggest you read about the 4 toltec agreements (in particular 3 on not making assumptions)?  @dansup If you feel too much like a rockstar tho, you could always start a new, lower-profile account on a different server. I have two different accounts, one here for regular dev and tech stuff and one for interfaith and random musings about spirituality.  To me, it feels somewhat strange that people who don't speak Russian follow this account where I mostly post personal stuff in Russian. As opposed to the one on mastodon.social where I mainly post Smithereen stuff in English. But, yeah, at some point I realized that I do have this separation. You have a separate account for Pixelfed, so it's definitely fine to use this account as your personal one. Since Russia is banning Instagram I decided to re-open registrations. https://pixelfed.social knows no borders, and welcomes everyone who abides by the rules! #pixelfed #instagram

 @dansup Join https://dhub.social a platform for civil resistance actions for science, people power and a livable future!  @dansup The big media like twitter/youtube/instagram ..etc blocked Russia, not Russia blocked them. Started documenting federation in #pixelfed, want to get this finished by the end of the month ๐ค https://docs.pixelfed.org/technical-documentation/activitypub.html #activitypub @dansup this is super! Delighted to see the #ActivityPub parts of the app being documented this way. I'd highly encourage any #Fediverse project to take the time to do the same, as it will greatly help devs in building integrations with other apps and create less subtle incompatibilities in the process. I'm of the opinion that big fedi instances are more likely to be overwhelmed by spam to the degree that it affects their ability to handle other moderation duties. I saw this first hand, thats why I added the autospam service to Pixelfed to classify likely spam so admins can focus on non-spam reports. The result? Pixelfed identifies and filters out spam better than any other fedi project making moderation much easier. @dansup  I've tried my best to be a good maintainer to #pixelfed, and for the most part I've been really lucky to have such a supportive community. That being said, negative feedback really hurts. I take it personally. And that's not a bad thing because I'm able to fix it in most cases, and make the user(s) happy. I finally fixed the most prominent bug in Metro 2.0, full width previews, and it really means a lot to me that users are happy with it. Pixelfed really is powered by the people.

 @dansup I think you're a really great maintainer. In 4 years you have created a really large, sophisticated and ambitious application on our own, something wonderful out of nothing. After such a time, you don't show symptoms of boredom, fatigue or burnout. On the contrary, you still surprise with creativity, developing new and interesting features, often working on many of them at the same time. @dansup People still need to remember that Metro 2.0 is still in beta and won't be perfect until it's complete. Everyone also needs to remember that it's not as easy as changing a few lines of code to fix an issue. It may even take weeks to find the source for a bug and issue a fix. Either way, all the best for the future of PixelFed. |
@dansup That's awesome!
