Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use

has no venture capital investors

has no shareholders to answer to

has no growth targets

with a web interface with zero tracking cookies

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

It feels like I'm dreaming rn, pixelfed.social really is the most active fedi server.

I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for making this possible!

I dedicate this to everyone who doubted me and our community. This post is for y'all ❤️
