Gregory's Server
We are working on a new feature to self-label media as AI generated
In addition, we're building this into feeds and discovery so you can opt-out of AI generated media posts with a single click!

@dansup one suggestion: several pictures are trimmed to fit on the squared size. So you have to click on it to see completely. It might break the UX look&feel, but to have the picture displayed properly would be very nice, using width as reference.  @dansup what happens if you're taking a photo of something light coloured? Can you still see the shutter controls?  Browsing comments from the feed is so nice, really looking forward to shipping the redesigned app! Like it's taken me years to get good at frontend dev, backend dev, project management, marketing, user support and also realizing how I can use my growing following to benefit other people and projects And now it's all coming together and I couldn't be happier π Building @pixelfed and everything else is a dream I've had for so many years and now I'm just in awe of the fact I'm actually doing this. Never stop believing in yourself β€οΈ Most forks fail because you need a core developer to maintain the project There are dozens of misskey forks, and most of them fail after a few months or a year (calckey ->firefish) You can't just fork something and live off hopes and dreams This is why I believe it's in my best interest as the core maintainer of Pixelfed to work with our community as much as possible to eliminate the need for a fork Such a vibe when you reach this, I love it, fuck egos, we all equals, lets goooo π  @dansup this is the unbreakable spirit I would like to see in all #opensource development and especially in everything that entails #fediverse We are no programmers, but system administrators and we love to do our part! @fediversity https://www.fediversity.eu We have funding for a few years and we love to make everything federated a big success. Yeah I've seen a few fedi devs sell out, some sell soapboxes to presidents and others bring their failed misskey forks to the fintech world The one thing they all had in common was they never actually wrote their own project, they forked an existing project and added some lipstick Meanwhile us other fedi devs are still here, not chasing trends or money.  @dansup I see what you did, there.... π

   Winter please, so tired of this wildfire smoke I feel like I'm living in the prequel to Extrapolations, and every time we're hanging out or partying, I always bring up that show because nobody watched it and it's like a damn time machine into the future

 @dansup I thought it was a great show but hard to watch and then look out the window. More people should see it  @dansup Thank you for the recommendation! Just watched the first episode and β¦ yeah. Itβs *riveting.*  Recently started watching Extrapolations and I'm obsessed Trying to get my friends and family to watch it is another story, they don't care "We only have one home, this one"

 Just a week later after I posted this, my city was at risk for evacuations due to approaching wildfires. Itβs surreal So there is a wildfire near me that has grown over the past few hours and lead to the evacuation of surrounding homes It's now too smokey to even see the night sky, just my luck! (Don't worry about me, the fire is about 30km away, but we are in for another scary wildfire szn)  @dansup We can only hope that one day governments will realized that they need to fund forest fire presentation programs that do prescribed fires (for example)  I can't see any aurora borealis right now in northern Alberta, Canada But I do see all your amazing pics, keep em coming! (Don't worry about me, northern lights/aurora borealis are very common up here, literally nobody I know here really cares about this one because they are so common, but it's super cool to witness them appear in uncommon places and to see all the excitement) @dansup We've seen them (very faintly, but still) in Spain!!!!!!!  I'm debating reviving my official pixelfed hosting service idea, it's not a regular host service though! Rather you'd bring a S3, Hetzner, Linode, DigitalOcean API key to our service We would provision or otherwise manage (1-click updates, automated backups) your instance while allowing you to maintain total control over ownership of the underlying server and data I'm thinking $5-20 a month for this, and it would allow admins a new level of peace of mind while maintaining total control Wdyt?

 @dansup I maintain many personal servers (Mastodon, email server, Bluesky PDS, DNS, VPN, WordPress, Nextcloud, Peertube) and several more!, that I'd welcome having a Pixelfed instance that someone else would maintain for me. I'm just out of spare time. I've thought of setting up a Pixelfed instance, but just haven't had the weekend time to do it. So, yep, I'd sign up.  @dansup I am a totally happy @mastohost user and always wished for a similar offer for my own pixelfed instance. Please make it happen Dan!  Pixelfed really needs some corporate sponsors to help fund everything we are doing If you know of potential sponsors that want their website or logo listed on pixelfed.org, https://fedidb.org, and https://fediverse.info please let me know! It's getting expensive to fund all these out of pocket, and as it stands I may have to limit myself to Pixelfed only if we can't get more financial support.  @dansup I went to see if you already had one, but rather than a Corpo could try crowdfunding through Liberapay and Ko-Fi   Things In Life - Dennis Brown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1p3wXe0MCw #np #fediPlay #dennisBrown While working on the Pixelfed mobile app refactor, I found the issue causing βbrokenβ or missing comments, itβs not a federation bug, but rather a hardcoded limit of 20 comments (on the MastoAPI) Working on the fix, and a new pixelfed API for better comment pagination. We do honour requests from remote servers to delete accounts, but sometimes it does not happen as expected. So we're building a feature to automate this process so anyone can easily purge their old deleted account from any Pixelfed instance β¨ Pixelfed.de is one of the longest-running Pixelfed servers, founded in 2018. You can sign up at: :Fediverse: https://pixelfed.de You can find out more at https://pixelfed.de or contact the admin @pixelfedde
