Pixelfed Smashes Kickstarter Campaign Goal on Day One - We Distribute
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!

    Good for them but copying the bad parts of Instagram like forcing squares, throwing out image metadata (including license), & compressing to hell means it is not the kind of platform I would want to upload my images to.

    I chipped in before it was at 20% and the emails about it hitting the next mark and the next were exhilarating! :)

    This is great to hear, dansup has been stretched across so many projects for so long so hopefully this really supercharges pixelfed (and friends) development and helps to increase the diversity of AP servers.

      Gah. Sorry that it’s still happening, I’m not totally sure why it happens, beyond the server choking while federating. I’ll keep investigating. 😞
