My best shot at a stock photo for the #Fediverse, showing its most popular projects.
Please show some mercy, I am not a hand model (obvi) and my masking skills are a little rusty.
If some photographers would like to improve it, I could share my original photo and screenshot.
Hilariously, when I opened the tripod my bracelet got stuck in it and I semi-panicked for a few moments because I was home alone... with a tripod stuck to my wrist. Thankfully I managed to free myself 😂

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.
Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.
TikTok is also my biggest platform, if you want to support my work please buy a yearly subscription to UserMag.co, if it's not something you can afford please subscribe for free and/or share links!! Every little bit helps when you're up against an entire massive right wing media structure.
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?
