 I love Digital Ocean ❤️ I ran into some unexpected financial issues in late June and was able to work with them until my banking issues were resolved They never terminated or shutdown my servers due to lack of payment, and I'm so thankful for their understanding!

 @dansup have you written a blog post? Apparently not on https://pixelfed.blog/ anywhere else? Imagine being able to create, share and subscribe to blocklists that auto update when the blocklist author adds/removes entries. Sounds too good to be true eh? ✨

 @pixelfed Sounds like a recipe for pileons to me. Time and time again we see bad actors getting control of blocklists. Took a well deserved day off yesterday! Today I'll be: Lets gooooo 🚀 Edit: This requires some careful thought before proceeding, I'm thinking we could provide an option to recycle the username during deletion, or reserve it for the original account creator for 90 days. Safe to say, I haven't decided yet! I get a lot of requests for people wanting to re-join pixelfed.social after permanently deleting their account. Maybe usernames should be re-usable after a period of 30 days.

@dansup I just wish I could use the pixel fed android app to post photos, but it says pixelfed.social is running an old version of the software 😔 @dansup blocklists are a good example why reused usernames could cause difficulties.   @pixelfed this presentation looks quite cool! How was this called & how did you create it?  @pixelfed Also do feel free to suggest more improvements or call me out on specific problems and I will do my best to prioritize and accommodate your feedback and requests granted they are reasonable and actionable! As developers, it’s our responsibility to take a proactive approach to safety and moderation, and while I don’t have the resources that some other projects do, I have dropped the ball in this regard so I’m focused on improving this in Pixelfed and would love your feedback! ❤️   Do take care of your own welfare. You deserve safety too. If users have requests for improvements they can present them quietly and patiently. @pixelfed Also do feel free to suggest more improvements or call me out on specific problems and I will do my best to prioritize and accommodate your feedback and requests granted they are reasonable and actionable!

Pixelfed + Comment Controls This isn’t a new feature, our current implementation is binary (enable/disable comments) The new comment controls will be released in the next app build due out later today 🚀  Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected online. That's why we're introducing new comment controls to Pixelfed next month. This new safety feature puts you in charge of your interactions, creating a safer and more welcoming space for everyone.

  A new way to give feedback and explore various development topics using the new Groups feature. Coming Soon! ✨ I registered a bunch of domains for ActivityPub back in the day, and want to put them to good use one day. activitypub.bio I'm not interested in selling, but may consider transferring to an established and trusted entity, otherwise I'm down for using them in various ways for community oriented resources, services and utilities. 😎 If you are interested in collaborating on a fediverse related resource or service using one of these domains, and you would be willing to be a project manager, do get in touch! We can make it a community affair, and encourage contributions from across the fediverse! Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected online.

No Barriers, Just Beauty. ✨ Explore posts, profiles, and hashtags without logging in on the new Pixelfed landing page. Coming Soon!  @pixelfed And please don't forget about that, that most of the displays, monitors used today are in the landscape position! People doesn't need too much free, unused space on the both sides of the screen. This space should be fully used and filled with the useful things, options etc. You know, no one wants to have tons of empty, wasted spaces around the main feed. The less of them, the better usability experiences are. 😉👍😘 Working on some federation bug fixes for account migrations and groups, as well as a new mobile app build! We’re writing a FEP for our federated Comment Controls feature too! ICYMI: Pixelfed supports server blocklist import/exporting, similar to Mastodon. We even wrote a simple tool to convert Mastodon blocklists to Pixelfed format and vice versa! |

@pixelfed I want to mention that it was a fluke banking error that caused this, you don't need to worry about the stability of our services, and just to be sure, we are working on setting up a standby on another provider.
It's not a bad thing to have backups and a fallback strategy 😅
