Pixelfed has reached its Kickstarter Goal in Just 13 Hours

Blaze (he/him)

Isn't Gargron regularly criticized by the community for refusing to deliver some features?

I would not know really, but there is a a new one hosted by the Pixelix Client creator. He shared it somewere in his mastodon account.

Pxlmo.com seems good

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.

Using "darling" like that isn't common, but it has a positive meaning. They're saying they wish Dansup wasn’t seen as highly valued as they are now. Probably for political reasons; i don't know

Quicky

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”.

You're free to start delivering code and release of your own! Dansup is walking, most of everyone else is talking.

From what I read he's the sole dev on three different large projects and ignoring issue requests.

Who isn't from time to time? We're in a era of sensitivity either way

Quicky

I suppose, but he did start name-calling just because another developer had the audacity to start building their own fediverse photo sharing platform. Then apologised and removed the toot.

Bearing in mind the other developer also actually built a functioning and rather excellent third party Pixelfed app that he wrote because he got frustrated with the lack of development on the Pixelfed app, which was available on app stores years earlier, it seemed beyond unnecessary.

Weirdo

Issue requests or pull requests?

Fuck if i know

The people there seem pretty chill in my experience so far.

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?

FYI "darling" can also be used with a spouse or romantic partner. It has a similar meaning in this case, where "darling of the group" means everyone really likes them, even if not sexual.

awesome. I think this will really motivate people moving over to stay for a bit.

And he has turned over Mastodon to a non-profit company which should be able to gain more resources to develop Mastodon.

Wrong: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/LICENSE

and doesn't let anybody else contribute?

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.
