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!

      Hers a list of Fedi based projects where parople have said the same thing

      • Mastodon
      • Lemmy
      • GotoSocial
      • Bookwyhrm

      Then step outside that

      • Linux
      • GNU

      Then stuff like

      • Meta
      • Twitter
      • Microsoft
      • Apple
      • Oracle
      • AI

      Do anything and some people will dislike you. I save my loathing for the commercial projects and the inevitable enshitiftacion of the internet that they necessarily add to.

      It’s helpful to be able to appreciate art without worrying too much about the artist. In history the number of genius artists who were bad people - it’s basically off the scale.

        This isn’t art, it’s a platform, it’s a tool more akin to engineering than painting.

        Would you have this same response for x, Facebook, or truth social?

          I think in terms of fedi, it’s fine. I mean plenty of people think Linus Torvold is an Ass, but we all love Linux for what it is.

          It’s a fair point. But then in the case of a piece of (literal) art created by a computer program, who was the artist if not the programmer? In legal terms software is a work of creativity like any other.

          Perhaps the important factor is how many people are involved. To be art, there has to be a single artist.
