@dansup @shlee But Gen X or older don’t use it differently. That’s were you are being discriminatory or ageist.

@dansup I’m not a fan of this for three reasons:
Being centralised goes against the very nature of the fediverse and leaves it open to bad actors.
There’s already a successful verification system as used by Mastodon. At the very least it will cause confusion.
These paid verification systems don’t really verify you only show that you’ve paid.

@dansup @terrencefoxfur @pixelfed @NafiTheBear @loops You keep saying the pixelfed mobile app will be out of beta, but somehow it never does. It’s always just around the corner. Also, what happened to the messenger “sup” that was coming soon last year?
I’m just concerned you lack focus and all this pressure is not good for you.

@dansup I don’t understand this. I see on Threads ordinary people doing ordinary things. Perhaps you’d like to explain what it is you are worried about?

@feditips I wholeheartedly recommend @vernissage. It’s so stylish but easy to use, putting the focus on the photography.

@dansup @shlee I’ve read what you said and it stereotypes older people as not using social media in the same way as other age groups. That’s plain wrong. I’m really disappointed.

@dansup @shlee Don’t tell me how my own age group works or peddle stereotypes! I’m

@dansup @shlee But Gen X or older don’t use it differently. That’s were you are being discriminatory or ageist.

@dansup @shlee That’s not what you said, you said you weren’t building for Gen X or older because they don’t use social media in the same way. That’s highly patronising and plain wrong. Look at the profile pictures on Pixelfed, there are a lot of older faces and grey hair.

@dansup @shlee I’m considerably older than you and I use Snapchat, Stories, Instagram, TikTok etc. As do most of my friends.

You are just complete wrong that peoples use of social media is related to their age. It’s patronising and insulting.

@dansup @shlee Careful, you don’t know how old people so I wouldn’t use it as a pejorative term.

@dansup @shlee Isn’t Tumblr implementing Activity Pub? https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/21/tumblr-to-add-support-for-activitypub-the-social-protocol-powering-mastodon-and-other-apps/

Rumours of Flickr as well.

@dansup @shlee I’m not sure what Twitter has to do with it. Im just requesting that more time is given to the Pixelfed app.

@dansup @shlee I don’t mean this in a rude way but you’ve said a ‘couple of weeks’ and ‘ by the end of the month’ (May) before. From a user’s point of view (who really wants Pixelfed to succeed) it’s a little frustrating. How can I get my friends to use it when it’s not in the App Store ? They aren’t going to use a web site, they want to use their phones.
Anyway, moaning over - good luck with your projects.

@dansup @shlee Please, please can you focus your attention on getting the Pixelfed apps up to date and ready for the app stores.

It can’t be good for you to have so many partially finished projects.

@dansup Thank you, will it be possible to follow #hashtags and to edit posts?

@dansup How is the Pixelfed iOS app coming? Apps are the main way that people access services. Perhaps pause on new features for a while?

@dansup @pixelfed I’m just really keen to see the app out of beta. From a users point of view every time it gets close it looks like it’s delayed for something new. ☹️

@dansup another vote for Mlem for Lemmy (TestFlight) nothing for kbin.

@dansup @pixelfed It’s clear a huge amount of work goes into Pixelfed and I don’t like to disagree but here are some things missing from the app:
Stories
Ability to follow hashtags
Action post edits in the app
Notifications
Accessibility
Account management
Full share sheet support (iOS and Android equivalent)
