wedistribute.org
After years of hardcore development, the Pixelfed project is taking a big next step by seeking crowdfunding dollars on Kickstarter.

Pixelfed has been making incredible strides over the past few years, and has begun developing a suite of different platforms and services for the #Fediverse. After just one day on Kickstarter, they’ve already smashed their campaign goal.

But they still need your help!

    Should’ve set the goal at 100k for fulltime employment. These kinds of projects need that kind of dedication

      As long as they reach the goal they keep everything donated including if it raises much more than the goal.

      They’re already at 72k

        That’s good news. I imagine it will diminish quickly unless the story about TikTok is kept alive. The news cycle is mostly 1-2 weeks. Hopefully it’ll have reached 100k by then.

        That’s not huge. One year of employment is nothing for such a product.

          It’s a lot for an average donor, though. “Huge” is not in relationship to the project’s needs. It’s in relationship to what the donor thinks is a lot of money or not.

          If I’m seeing someone wants to raise 100k and I’m one of the first people to go on that Kickstarter, meaning only a tiny % is financed yet, I might think “this is not gonna make it, makes no sense for me to pledge money”

      I agree, but there’s still plenty of time for that to happen. I wish them all the success in the world.
