@dansup yup. Did the same.
I know some people who run it professionally and it’s still a massive pain to operate. Better them than me though 😜

@dansup Recommend filing a bug for it

The team is always looking for things that don’t work:

@dansup Sweet! Will check it out later today

@dansup There are tons of scientific papers on this topic. It is considered the gold standard for a reason. Most recently it showed up in Apple’s iMessage PQ3 papers. (links can be found here: https://security.apple.com/blog/imessage-pq3/)

As for Elon: No comment (don’t want to deal with the assholes..)

@dansup Nice! Gonna check it out later.

I was planning on looking into the code soon. Currently it looks like stuff is still in the works and not yet pushed, right?
Will wait a little bit then 😊

@dansup Sweet. This is my weekend project settled then 😉

@dansup @pixelfed One I have to turn off immediately because it’s the internet

Great to have that option though

@dansup wohoo. Can’t wait!!

@dansup @loops Wohoo. Can’t wait

@dansup Oh same!
Different IDEs have different strengths. Plus it helps my brain separate things

For me it’s VS Code, IntelliJ and Xcode

@dansup From an accessibility perspective, both? Icons are not always recognizable

@dansup You can always do an OIDC flow. That allows you to have a common login and identity for those who want it but still have separate accounts

@dansup @loops Interesting.
i’m definitely planning on running my own instance (would even beta test if that’s an option), but I get the idea

@dansup Wow. That would be epic!

@dansup Overall I agree.
I think where people get this idea of pixelfed being unfinished is at least 2 areas:

- the UX of the mobile apps is incredibly rough still. Not unusable but needs polish
- it’s not easy to contribute to the project. Some of the code isn’t published yet while some is there but you have major revisions you’re working on that make it harder to judge whether you should jump in.

I’ve this itch to jump in and help out but it’s not approachable for me.

@dansup oh wow. that’s cool!

@dansup @pixelfed @fedidb @supapp Been there. It’s easy to forget that publishing code like this comes with a cost & responsibility. I had to learn that the hard way.

My recommendation is to find a core group of maintainers that you trust & collaborate with. That way it’s not all on you. You can delegate certain tasks to them and focus on what you want to accomplish, where your skills are best applied

@dansup @pixelfed looking forward to that!

@dansup It’s not petty. It’s perfectly valid to feel like that. It hurts when you spend so much of your time and energy on something and then you get negative comments

We appreciate you ❤️

@dansup ugh. That’s tough. I had it a few years ago and it sucked!! Slowly got better though
