    I owe a public apology to @thisismissem I'm sorry for closing this issue without explaining why, I have re-opened it and will get it merged this weekend. I hope you know I would never discourage contributions from anyone, and your contributions have made quite an impact, so thank you. https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/5021#issuecomment-2182538853  @dansup @thisismissem I don't have context, but I am happy to see this. People not always reflect on their choices and going back to fix something you find wrong shows great personal power. I hope everyone involved is happy. I went through 3 total rewrites of the @pixelfed app from 2019 to 2023 Earlier this year I started a new version but this time it was open source from the start, and is using best practices I've learned a lot from the previous iterations, performance is key and you'll def notice when you update β¨ It's kinda wild that I'm writing a react native mobile app, and after a few years of practice, I'm finally at a level where I can write great code! Looking forward to rewriting the webUI from scratch after the mobile app, loops and sup are released. I know we could aim for a single codebase like bluesky, but I'd like to keep our core/backend project separate from clients in the long run, so we can refactor the backend to go or rust I really need to dust off our dev blog, I love writing em'  We closed several outdated issues and pull requests recently, as we prepare to ship several big refactors and one big feature: Groups β¨ "We have enormous freedom. Thatβs not a gift that was given to us, itβs 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 So cool to see @nlnet officially join the fediverse using https://gotosocial.org/ Thanks for supporting so many amazing #fediverse projects, including @pixelfed (in fact, our project was the first fediverse project funded by nlnet β¨) @dansup @nlnet @pixelfed nice! They should get upgrading though, their release is ~9 months old (0.12.2) with most recent release being 2 days old (their release: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.12.2)

@ansuz @cryptpad I agree with the fact that encryption is a fundamental part of democracy. But the problem is that I have not seen proposals on how to handle a situation where encryption is used by actors who want to undermine democracy, hiding their actions via encryption. E.g. A foreign state actor using telegram in a combined randsomware-against-hosptitals and disinformation campaign, this to cause social unrest and inlluence people to vote tor more-extremist parties.  good morning, #EU residents. have you written to your elected representatives about #ChatControl yet? EDIT: comments should be addressed to the offices of "permanent representatives" listed on this page: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/ I don't know for sure that these offices are elected. start with these contact points, after that you can still feel free to contact your MEPs, but start here Just a note saying how my #Fediverse experience has been made immeasurably richer for being able to take in and engage with carefully curated #Threads users, #BlueSky bridged users, #WordPress ActivityPub enabled blogs, Federated #Podcast episodes, #PixelFed photos, and Peertube videos. All from one Mastodon account. This works. And I'm grateful for the moderation tools to mute, block and curate all of this, and the Mastodon lists to make them all digestable and not just info overload.

@tchambers Many times a #Bluesky user seems to be replying to or reposting something I canβt see. I assume itβs because the poster is not bridged. Disheartening. Does not seem to be as bad with #Theads. @tchambers That sounds really exciting. So far I have stuck to the Twitter/Reddit way of using this medium but we'll see what the future will bring  |
@dansup @pixelfed i like, but still
Eww, iOS
@dansup @pixelfed looks good! :D did the update button change location in android? I want to get it updated, but can't find the button anymore π
@dansup @pixelfed I really think you should use more contrast text color, that is black or dark gray, instead of light gray throughout the application π That'd look more clean AND be more accessible
