I've received 5 VC offers "to chat" regarding Pixelfed in the past few days.

Not for sale.

Pixelfed belongs to the people.

I'd rather be broke and true to my beliefs, than sell out.

That's why I'm organizing a Kickstarter to fund the ethical development of Pixelfed, Loops and more.

It's time that someone stood up to them, instead of joining them.

Are you with me?

@dansup Totally up to you and I can understand if you'd rather not, but it'd be hilarious if you published their identities and pitches.

Might make them think twice about approaching projects this way in the future.
