@dansup would really prefer autoplay was off by default. I find autoplaying immensely annoying, and I always turn it off I love what you do and the idea of helping with discovery, but... basing it on popularity rather than the users unique interests just recreates one of the big problems of traditional silo media, the two caste system. First you have the "upper" caste accounts (aka "Mr Beast"s) who got popular early and then snowball as being popular means being more recommended means being more popular ad infinitum. Then the lower caste will never be recommended as they're not already popular.

@dansup when can we expect the app to be available in stores officially? I have a couple of friends who love the idea of Pixelfed and would gladly use it already as an app 😎 I love what you do and the idea of helping with discovery, but... basing it on popularity rather than the users unique interests just recreates one of the big problems of traditional silo media, the two caste system.

Pixelfed isn't just for photography; it's a great place for all kinds of artists. Whether you're into painting, drawing, digital art, or graphic design, you can share your work here. Pixelfed supports videos and GIFs too, so it's perfect for animators and multimedia creators. The community is friendly and supportive, making it easy for artists to connect, collaborate, and grow together. We closed several outdated issues and pull requests recently, as we prepare to ship several big refactors and one big feature: Groups ✨

@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 I'm learning swift to implement on-device translations, hashtag and alt-text suggestions! don't worry, kotlin is next 😎 When it comes to adding features like these, I draw the line at on device processing when possible. Privacy is fundamental, and I'm only willing to implement features like this if they can be implemented using native apis, we will never use ChatGPT or 3rd party APIs period.

@dansup Really looking forward to it. I haven't used it consistently because I wasn't satisfied with the third-party apps and TestFlight was buggy for me. I definitely want to be shifting away from Instagram, though |
@dansup
