@dansup Thank you for all your work and your efforts.

@dansup Do you think the journalist is aware of the ironic fact that a thing like Truth Social is using the open source software Mastodon? 🤔

@dansup This is great=> "The funding will support the development of three platforms within the Fediverse — a decentralized network of interconnected social media services. These platforms include Pixelfed, Loops and Sup, designed as privacy-focused alternatives to Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp, respectively"

@dansup
Nice to see that.
I don't think we need another WhatsApp alternative so soon, but we absolutely need to free people from Instagram and Tiktok as soon as possible.
Jeep up the good work.

@dansup congrats ✨ I was confused about one thing so I added it to the q&a https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/discussions/6424
Why are some servers like mastodon.social incompatible with Pixelfed? · pixelfed pixelfed · Discussion #6424

I tried to log into Pixelfed 1.7.0 for iOS with a mastodon.social account and it said the server is incompatible. Why?
