@dansup I think it is also about avoiding a "single point of failure" since you might become - for whatever reason - unavailable for the projects.

@dansup In my opinion, the recent DeepSeek occurrence illustrated quite vividly the magnitude of open-source code and collaboration.

I'm sure, there is never "enough" money, but isn't it mesmerizing how less than 2,000 people can back such magnificent change?

I hope you will be able to share some of the weight off your shoulders.

@dansup I think, Pixelfed goes "viral" because people are currently searching for an Instagram alternative, which Pixelfed is, but Mastodon, Lemmy etc. obviously are not.

Mastodon had also a larger rise of accounts (and, incidentally, still does as seen by German Unis shifting right now) after the shift of X/Twitter.

Every platform has different target audiences and expectations tethered to it.

@dansup Could we have non-picture posts on Pixelfed again, please? Just as an option, so one could follow all posts of e.g. posts from Mastodon or Lemmy accounts.

I for one do rarely use Pixelfed, but still support it financially. There needs a plethora of options to make the fediverse attractive!

@dansup I must say, beware of hubris. Apart from that, @Gargron seems to just have a different form of communication style. :BlobhajHeart:

@BeAware @WebCoder49 @fell @daniebeler I would love to move to a pixelfed-only stance, since this was one of the key selling points of the Fediverse, right?

@WebCoder49 @BeAware @fell Oh, that's nice! Is this also possible in the Pixelix app? @daniebeler

Just after #Meta saw tremendous backlash by "kissing the ring" #Protonmail CEO Yen thought it be a wise idea to praise the Republican party? That was quite shortsighted.

@dansup Love, what you are doing; unfortunately my tech-stack is quite different to yours... will remain in solely financial support.

@dansup @loops Is crowdin better suited than weblate? Especially for open source?

@dansup I actually think you just love developing and hustling but just need someone or some people who guide your raw power and take on the managing.
