Use @pixelfed.org no ads and runs on #ActivityPub so there is very little risk of takedown and can use 3rd party apps. Plus can bridge to bluesky with @ap.brid.gy

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

I think what @pixelfed.org did is the way to go. Create an awesome user experience and focus on solving problems and promote the product. The fact that it's built on ActivityPub is just a footnote and that's how it should be with #atproto projects too. They should stand on their own.

Being a kid: forced to go to bed Being an adult: freedom Being in a relationship: "are you coming to bed soon?" Bedtime was never deprecated. It was just waiting for a new maintainer.

thank you for the compliment - I'll frame it ❤️ I would love to give a talk titled: "how to succeed as an impostor in open source" I feel I've been the recipient of a lot of privilege, kindness and grace from others, not just in the open source world but from my family too. roe.dev/ama #ama

Open APIs are a gate from the garden ✨️ Walled gardens keep you in. We'd rather you wander, and come back because you want to. Your choice. Always. #pixelfed #joinLoops

On-device translations with 59 supported languages, are coming to the new Pixelfed app for both Android and iOS! No data leaves your device, language recognition and translation happens on your device.

Privacy isn't a feature, it's a fundamental pillar of platforms that put people first As I build the new @pixelfedapp.bsky.social app, I'm reminded of how many privacy settings we offer, and am really proud of the level of control we offer to our community! A new Pixelfed era is coming ✨️ #Privacy

The fediverse, at proto and social web are special because of the people, not platforms. The platforms are just tools to connect us.

They bring hands-on expertise from critical, open source infrastructure to standards development. Their work will help shape more secure and more interoperable technology, from internet routing and web protocols to accessibility, digital payments, encryption, federated platforms, EV-charging.

When X, Meta and TikTok relaxed their rules on hate speech, racism and transphobia, they didn't undermine the open social web. They proved why this needs to exist. Safety and mental health come first here. They're the foundation everything else stands on. The vulnerable come first, always.
