Pixelfed Smashes Kickstarter Campaign Goal on Day One
Pixelfed Smashes Kickstarter Campaign Goal on Day One
Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they've already smashed their campaign goal.
But they still need your help!
This is great to hear, dansup has been stretched across so many projects for so long so hopefully this really supercharges pixelfed (and friends) development and helps to increase the diversity of AP servers.
I decided not to keep supporting Pixelfed after the weird coments dansup was making about people developing other clients and his apparent wish of putting ads on the platform. I was already getting people from my circle to create accounts on it, so it was very disappointing.
There's also another whole situation with the way he speaks but that isn't that much of an issue for me
I chipped in before it was at 20% and the emails about it hitting the next mark and the next were exhilarating! :)
@deadsuperhero this is what I am getting when I click on the link. I think this is still a wp/ap plugin issue from a while ago
Gah. Sorry that it's still happening, I'm not totally sure why it happens, beyond the server choking while federating. I'll keep investigating. 😞
Good for them but copying the bad parts of Instagram like forcing squares, throwing out image metadata (including license & color profiles), & compressing to hell means it is not the kind of platform I would want to upload my images to.
Website wouldn't load
Sorry, our provider had an outage around that time. We should be good now!
