I have said and will continue to say most people have zero idea what it's like for scientists in the US right now.
We sat at an outdoor table the other day with a brilliant older queer scientist friend and ran into several scientist friends including one who worked at govt agencies on science funding. It is like having conversations after an apocalypse. So many people lost, labs folded, international postdocs gone, lines of work canned. DEI work going undercover, forbidden words erased

Pixelfed spent years building a popular platform, and risked it all to build services like https://fedidb.com, https://fediverse.info and even a new platform called Loops, to make the fediverse better and easier to navigate.
Pixelfed made Loops so it could stay algorithm free and photo centric while giving people a better place to share and explore video.
Now, I turn inward to refactor Pixelfed with a new fresh interface (web + mobile) and more stable features and federation.
