@Khrys To be honest some folks are actively trying to find alternatives to GNU software because of the movement and it's history.
The movement has failed many folks in this community, who mistakenly thought that Free Software and it's movement was ethical.
That's how much damage has been done.
So the movement will fracture and forks will happen, because some high influence folks are eroding trust further.
I can't say that I blame them.
@Khrys It's not just the wider community, some developers feel betrayed as well.
We're all having to look at the mirror right now. Our shared commons is broken, and our communities are in schism. The debate over LLMs and their being imposed on us are merely symptoms of what's always been the undercurrent.
We've not seen the full damage to our communities and I don't think we ever will as long as we keep these debates to merely is the code free.
Who are we keeping the code free for?
Credit cards, yes. Debit cards, no - and I am not sure that requiring adults to have credit cards, because debit cards are banned on online shopping sites - would be a sensible policy objective.

Inkwell Growth
Hello Inkwell family! It’s been too long since I’ve posted anything about Inkwell. So let’s fix that! There have been plenty of feature changes, but that information is available under ‘What’s New’ and the roadmap. You might recall we have the transparency page that is linked in
Stanton @ Inkwell
That being said, I have banned him from making a mastodon account, he's so ready to get messy and call me out on stuff 🤣
My own family is on his side, they all know too much. Banned!
If anyone claims I like reality tv or the real housewives, just know it isn't true!

Also, after the viral exposure of Pixelfed in January 2025, I got a dozen offers to sell, like 7 figures.
That would be life changing money. I couldn't even entertain this though, I had a feeling some were proxies of Meta, that is nothing to them, the ability to shutdown another competitor.
I never started this to sell out, I really believe in our mission, and how we can build safer and people centric alternatives.
Pixelfed is proudly funded by people, like you!

@dansup Of course you cannot share the offers, but I'd love to know what made you think some were Meta proxies.

@Walop @rolle Lack of discovery made web communities more “safe”, as in, less people found their way in to the message threads. With increased search indexing it was possible to find most forums even before, but there was a gap between discovery and posting ability. Mastodon bridges separate systems together (via ActivityPub), and that can cause problems if people expect their posts to be a bit more carefully protected.
Part of the problem with the regular Mastodon is that it does not allow limiting post visibility only to one specific instance. There is/was a fork of Mastodon that allowed people to post to local user accounts, while effectively limiting/removing post visibility from the rest of the web. While that has limitations (as most Mastodon apps don’t support such features), it makes sense when accounts are more strictly moderated for specific communities.
imo we have people wanting different things and not being clear about that and wanting to use the same tools. email is decentralized and most of us think that's valuable in that it allows us to not all share the same server. but with fedi, some people expect closed spaces. like email, I think it's obviously best used to create a social media server for everyone but with different moderation based on server chosen.
social media (universal) vs social networking (groups)

Wenn eine Behörde mit Aktivitäten auffällt, die Grundgesetz-widrig sind, sollte sie eine Auflage bekommen, dem/der/den Verantwortliche/n die Befugnis zu entziehen. Die Befugnis muss dann von der/dem Vorgesetzte/n übernommen werden oder er/sie muss/müssen sich jede solche Entscheidungen von einem Richter absegnen lassen.

wenn z.B. der #Innenminister sowas anordnet, wünsche ich mir #3_Strikes.
I loved high school and had tons of friends, but I don't speak to any of them now.
My partner hated it, was bullied. Now he has so many friends, from college, jobs and even parties (more than I had)
In an ironic twist of fate, they make fun of me for never wanting to "leave the house", but we do throw awesome parties once in a while and I've made so many friends thanks to him.
I guess I peaked in high school, he's the center of attention now (and I love that so much, he deserves it ❤️)
That being said, I have banned him from making a mastodon account, he's so ready to get messy and call me out on stuff 🤣

Switching from one language to another is a long and difficult task. Switching from the worst and most difficult language ever (C++) to a new language that is still not popular (Rust) is almost impossible in a short time.
Rust, even if it’s very good language, is not as popular and most companies are not using it right now.
it would help bring in a lot more contributors
I don’t think it would.

@scottearle There is no beta at this time. We are rebuilding Ivory from the ground up and the new version will support the duo.
@tapbots what is the approximate expected timeline for this update, if you don’t mind my asking?
