@dansup i'd be positive to it, but not it if it is a umbrella provider like pixelfed. As there are several websites with the same brand identity but has entirely different trust as to ho is behind it. If it was one provider with a clear unique identity like a hotmail.com or Gmail.com Who I can trust (as a normie) it would be different

@dansup I'm glad that you are going this direction. Umbrella plattforms has their place, but it is wise to look towards what works for most people, and email being the most successfull ecosystem of this kind its very smart to learn from what made these email providers so useful to most people.

@feditips it's not an issue. 👎

@feditips I think this is fine. And if mastodon aims to be more centralized that's fine with me too.

These umbrella type plattforms dont go well with normies. Something similar to email providers is the future.

@dansup the last one I mean as in branding. Like "why choosing not to have it stand alone in its identity." As it possibly could do that.

@dansup how will pixelfed.art hold reliable for the foreseeable future? (like covering expenses) and does this instance try to provide something that other community instances can't?

Where will pixelfed.art be in 5 years?

And why is it pixelfed.art and not like "artstation.com" for example?

I'm asking as these are questions I wonder as an artist and that likely other artists will wonder about it, if they're considering this platform for their business.
