Hey Dan!

Have you considered adding a big ad or text after X scrolls with something like:

"Hey, you've scrolled 4 pages already, why don't you take a break? Social Media should be healthy and not addictive."

And maybe after 10, 20 or even 30 pages block for 2, 3 or 5 minutes the user to ensure there's a real break?

@dansup @pixelfed Just do whatever you feel you want to do and enjoy, but do it for yourself and not for anyone else :) don't feel stressed because people will always have different opinions or want different things than you.

Don't leave your relationship aside, my bf changed my life a lot on that matter. He made me focus on more important things of real life and learn how to leave online things aside sometimes, so if you're like me, stay next to those who support you daily, believe me, those are the ones who will always be by your side.

Pixelfed will shine, that's for sure, it's a matter of time because standard social media will fall within the next years, and when that happens a lot in your life will change (for best and worse), and that won't be easy either.

If you want to focus on your core project it's ok. I usually have a Kanban myself for my ideas and I try to finish one before I start with the next one and not many things going on at once, forcing me to finish stuff before starting a new one... but I fail at it a lot.

I have to manage some communities which involves a lot of stuff, programs, bots, code, servers and software. I have some things completely abandoned because I'm lacking off time, yet when I think about something new I can't stop myself from starting working on it.

Probably doing a restrospective of yourself will help you a lot as it did to me.

In any case, cheers to you on every project and every line of code you write, but never ever ever ever, forget the important things :)

@dansup @pixelfed I love to read you, not just about pixelfed (I do of course) and all your projects but about you as a person.

I like how you do things, how pasionate you are and how much time you spend in making all those ideas that go through your head reality little by little. It happens to me as well because I'm very much like you in that sense when I have an idea and I want to code it so somehow it won't get lost or forgotten. I can stay focused on that for days till it gets released and I can see the feedback from the people to know if I've done something good or wrong.

But you know, sometimes it's cool to stay aside a bit, go out, walk, hanging out with friends and family... and when you do sometimes you will notice you still think about those ideas, as if it was a drug, running through your head till you get to do them or like... you can't focus on other stuff.

It happens to me a lot, even leaving other things more important aside from real life.

But reality is that no one is going to blame you, no one has the right to blame you, no one is going to throw rocks at you for not doing a new feature, a bugfix in Pixelfed or if you don't make it in time with Loops or whatever... if you are like me, probably the most critical person with you is yourself, because everything turns into a personal achievement that you need to accomplish for yourself.

We are a community, we are here commited to help each other, support and have fun. What you do is very cool but please, don't forget to stay healthy, keep your ideas in order and of course, don't stop doing the great things you do, Dan. 💖

I like jQuery. 🥺

In my opinion, I have the feeling sometimes there are so many languages to do the same and inside those languages also many frameworks to do the same. Sometime ago I was comparing that with crypto alt-coins where a new one appears to "improve" a task that other already does.

In coding it also gets up to a point where people rely more in frameworks than the real language... You don't know PHP if you don't know Laravel or you don't know Java if you don't know Spring.

All that applies even if you can code in any language natively at 500% performance and know how they work better than someone who, if leaves the framework functions, gets lost in the language.

@dansup Hello.

As long as the application clearly states the centralized list is sponsored, it should be a good option.

Keep in mind that prioritizing and even adding a "verification mark" to them only for just paying it's the same as X / Twitter has made.

If you choose this path, ensure to personally validate the instances and that they act according the guidelines of the community, to avoid bad actors and review them from time to time again.

Honestly there are Pixelfed instances around that have been supporting the project for quite a long time and probably can't pay for the verification and will lose visibility against a new instance who pays.

This is a double-edged sword so be very careful.

In my opinion you can just add two separated lists: "Sponsored" instances and "Community" instances.

For the verification mark, don't attach it to a paid verification process.

@dansup Thing is a lot of people are rushing to fediblock. All registered account come from the same email domain chitthi.in

@dansup It is scary how a "single instance" will hold most of the Fediverse. I have a gmail feeling... Let's see how it develops. I guess It is aimed at different audiences.
