The magic of Loops + ActivityPub ✨

Pixelfed still isn't for sale.

#Pixelfed

@evacide not only would I be interested, but I would love to be able to provide it to friends/family/coworkers as a resource.

You can hide the For You feed on @loops.

You can also set your default feed.

And these settings are remembered across devices and sessions.

It's like TikTok without enshittification and billionaire owners, its open source and federated.

The fediverse is safer because of @thisismissem

Her tireless dedication to trust and security protects us all, but this work requires resources.

I'm seeking organizations to sponsor her ($500+/mo) to ensure this mission continues.

Her value to our ecosystem is immeasurable.

I personally vouch for her expertise and impact, as many leaders in this space will. We cannot afford to lose her contributions.

Please boost and mention orgs on the fedi with this toot 🙏

20 days to go for our Kickstarter ✨

This will not only fund my full time development for 1 year on Pixelfed, Loops, Sup and Pubkit

But also fund our community CDN, moderation API, contact discovery service, and more!

If we reach the $200k stretch goal, we'll have funding for the non-profit, and at $300k we'll be able to hire a team.

Spread the word.

The future is federated and open source 🚀

PeerTube is a project that is similar to Pixelfed in a lot of ways, it has a lot of really clever engineering under the hood, but it was held back by the lack of official mobile apps.

Glad to see them working on official apps, and I have no doubt we will see the same type of surge that Pixelfed has seen, once their app is polished and easier to use.

Long form video platforms like PeerTube and short form platforms like Loops compliment each other, and encourage interop between our projects

Now exceed $4,000 USD per month, we currently get $1,465 from Patreon.

We could use your financial support more than ever while I build a foundation for long term financial support (think official hosting).

Please boost 🙏
