Yeah I'm designing a limited run of official @pixelfed merch, and it's so much fun!

Fall 2024.

The real magic of the fediverse:
no vanity, no algos, no overlords.

- No vanity: We don't chase follower counts, we connect for genuine interactions.

- No algos: Just real people and genuinely funny memes.

- No overlords: The protocol is the authority, not some corporation.

Who would have thought Facebook would embrace the open ActivityPub protocol back in 2018 when it was published?

It's proof that the fediverse is a force to be reckoned with. ✨

@dansup

Vigorous self promotion because the fediverse wants to know what you're doing.

@dansup Sometimes you want to boost something standing up and applauding.

@dansup I am new to Mastodon, so I cannot be taken so seriously; however, I ask myself if Mastodon could get money from ads, and use that money to hire more programmers.

Now comes something I believe, to use ads' money to hire sociologists and psychologists, aiming the promotion of necessary public debates - like the two current wars and other social issues - keeping positive and respectful debates.

I believe Mastodon will become the de-facto social network. We need money to make it happen.

I'm humbled to contribute to the fediverse alongside such amazing people.

As we celebrate our progress, let's also acknowledge and address systemic issues in some corners of our community.

Abuse isn't a software problem, it's a human one.

Fedi devs: Let's collaborate and create realistic, effective solutions for abuse detection and mitigation.

Together, we can build a safer, more welcoming online space for everyone. ✨

The internet can be homophobic.

The internet can be racist.

Most fediverse developers have privilege.

We have a responsibility to use that privilege to build a better, more inclusive online space.

Let's start listening to marginalized voices, amplify their experiences, and work together to create a Fediverse where everyone feels safe and welcome.

@dansup The internet can be anything like people can… everything starts with education, knowledge and an ethical framework…

@dansup The only phobia I have is covid phobia. Gender preferences shouldn't scare anyone. On the pickleball court yesterday a man asked if another gentleman could join the gay trio and people got all pissy about it. People are evil. It's childish.

My mom is starting her own biz, in a male dominated field and I'm so proud of her!

So naturally, I'm building a custom CRM/Scheduling webapp + app to cut down costs, and handling marketing/social media as one could say I have some experience 😎

She dropped out of college to raise us and later got a career in the trades, but at every job she wasn't treated fairly

So it means a lot to me to be able to help her become her own boss, shes my hero ❤️

@dansup you are the sweetest! Total child goals right here.

Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help support your mom, too

Stefan Bohacek

@dansup That is very sweet, wishing your mom best of luck!

ICYMI: yesterday I published the 6th post in my series #TheFutureIsFederated, showing how interoperability works between #Mastodon & #Pixelfed. In short: it feels like magic 🪄✨

An excerpt:
« The Fediverse has so much potential and is so much more sophisticated than anything made available by Meta, TikTok and X. But more importantly: not only is it technically superior, it is also ethical and user-centric. »

@dansup @pixelfed Heck yes!🎉 A photo map has been at the top of my Pixelfed wishlist! Can’t wait to see these pizzas mapped: pixelfed.social/NickSherman

I am very curious though: What data is used to place the items on the map? Will you finally start using geotag metadata from uploads? And/or allow location to be set with specific coordinates?

The current situation for assigning vague/arbitrary/ambiguous place names has left me wanting for more, for several reasons.

dansup

Pixelfed Stories will soon support the sound library, post embeds, polls, reactions and optional push notifications reminders!

We’re going all in on Stories, but will make it easy to hide them if you want 😎

The new @pixelfed app was created only 109 days ago from scratch, so its 3 months old.

Not bad progress, if you ask me

We'll be in the App Stores by September 1st 🚀

@dansup @pixelfed is pixelfed down? I just created an account and I can't change my pfp nor post anything :(

dansup

Tired of endless reels and algorithm-driven feeds?

Pixelfed keeps photography front and center.

You can even hide Stories and video posts!

Because your passion deserves a platform that values your pixels as much as you do ❤️

@pixelfed Is there a way to hide "text only" posts? In pixelfed I just want to see photos, that's the main reason I switched to it from mastodon...

Alexis Bushnell

@pixelfed I really should give Pixelfed another go - need to find a use case for it for my life!

Jaap van Vliet 🇳🇱🇪🇺 🌎🇺🇦

It a basic photo sharing platform. Clean and crisp.
Still trying my friends to also join the Pixelfed verse. Using it on Apple platform with the Vernissage app:

I'm using Next for a few pf sites, Expo for the app and Nuxt for the new webUI

They all have their strengths, and it's cool to be able to write both vue and react daily 😎

dansup

I'm building a whole new #pixelfed webUI from scratch using nuxt and tailwind!

It's coming along quickly, modern web dev is amazing 😎

flo

@dansup
Oh no, why Tailwind?
I read, Tailwind would be some kind of "vendor-lock in".
Don't fall for it!

Christian Tietze

@dansup with traditional web dev, you wouldn't need to rewrite it though 🥲

Jak2k

@dansup
Have you tried UnoCSS? It's backwardscompatible with Tailwind.

dansup

Damn the team over at @pixelfed and superstar dev @dansup are freaking putting in work .

You soon will be able to toggle on or off in seeing your stories WOW.
