Of course it is, but then again: it’s because everyone else is talking. No one stops everyone else from starting their own project and overtaking his by sheer power of community. Until that happens, one man would have to suffice.
Looks more like he’s juggling projects while riding a unicycle, and doing insult comedy at the same time. I think it’s fair to question the sustainability of this, and if/when he’ll publically self destruct.
Yeah he’s definitely up himself, and highly prone to preschool outbursts on Mastodon. No doubt he deserves plaudits for ambition and talent, but a bit more humility and grace would do him good. I’ve cringed at a few of his (often retrospectively deleted) posts unnecessarily slagging off other devs.
That said, I’m extremely grateful for what he’s trying to do, and his genuine desire to expand the fediverse.
I suppose, but he did start name-calling just because another developer had the audacity to start building their own fediverse photo sharing platform (Vernissage). Then apologised and removed the toot.
Bearing in mind the other developer also actually built a functioning and rather excellent third party Pixelfed app (Impressia) that he wrote because he got frustrated with the lack of development on the official Pixelfed app, and which was available on app stores years earlier, it seemed beyond unnecessary.
FYI “darling” can also be used with a spouse or romantic partner. Your husband or girlfriend can be your “darling” just like “honey” or “baby”. It has a similar meaning in this case, where “darling of the group” means everyone really likes them, even if not sexual/romantic.
And this use, “darling of the ____”, is a slightly older, but relatively common, saying.
Cool, but it the more learn the more I find that I’d rather Dansup wasn’t becoming the darling of the fediverse.
You’re free to start delivering code and release of your own! Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.
Isn’t that because Dan hasn’t open-sourced his project yet and doesn’t let anybody else contribute?
Wrong: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/LICENSE
Hmm, while there have been 158 contributors, a very small percent were from the other developers: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/graphs/contributors
This information is pretty easy to look up.
I meant the Loops side of things, my bad.

From what I read he’s the sole dev on three different large projects and ignoring issue requests.
Issue requests or pull requests?
Fuck if i know
well if you read it it ought to be true
I didn’t remember which one it was. I’m not really a GitHub user. It said there were open issues for a long time.

Well then, get working on the competition.

I feel like Mastodon is the only one who did things right.
Isn’t Gargron regularly criticized by the community for refusing to deliver some features?
And he has turned over Mastodon to a non-profit company which should be able to gain more resources to develop Mastodon.
what’s this mean? darling is a nothing word I thought? (Not best english)
It means the dev can be a bit of a dick, and it’s not always a great look. “Darling” in this instance means “face of” or “icon”.
Who isn’t from time to time? We’re in a era of sensitivity either way

Weirdo
