@harmonycorrupted apathy kills desire to do anything meaningful. I see it in my family (I live in the south). I hope the rest of the people in this country can start something so my area can come out of the dark ages.
@harmonycorrupted I cried reading some of those documents. The fear those children must have experienced. The uncertainty of what was to come. I'm so disappointed that there isn't an immediate protest reaction or storming of the Capitol. This is what illicits riots, at least it should.

@mrclark @Mandraulic @[email protected] Thank you! Probably ly why I had a hard time finding this, it seems to have happened on reddit. I appreciate the links

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?
