@dansup im confused, isn't pixelfed like mastodon regarding this stuff? that instances do have rules which have to be accepted to be on that instance or connect to it?
If so, is there a rule against homophobic content? Quite sure there is, just double checking.
Then did this guy just not know about that, ignored it or wanted that there are no rules?
I think its good what u did, just generally intrested :)

@dansup ever checked out netcup? codeberg.org is hosted on their servers and they seem quite affordable

@dansup The idea is great, but why a new project? With MLS becoming a thing, supposed to support federation and being better in every way than the signal protocol, while the matrix protocol is an option as well. I've never heard that activityPub is famous for encryption and all the fediverse apps I know support direct (instand?) messaging, but never end to end encrypted.
