@dansup @pixelfed @lashman for what it's worth - reading through all this and seeing your point of view etc makes me want to use pixelfed. I support your decision to integrate with threads and I think it's cool.

@dansup @pixelfed Your project is gorgeous. You are awesome. You brought a very nice brick to the #Fediverse with #Pixelfed. It remains your project. If people disagree with your choice, they can hard fork and move. Stay safe, take your time and some rest, and keep getting pleasure working on your stuff
You will always find haters and upsetting morons, but you will also find loving people behind you.

@dansup @pixelfed It’s massively divisive the different views and people are also very passionate about it. Difficult to please all but thankful that you’re working on the tools to give choice rather than take it away. Thanks for all your hardwork as always.

@dansup @pixelfed stay strong, you’re doing good!

@dansup @pixelfed thanks for your efforts with Pixelfed, Dan.

I know it's Threads federating and not Instagram, but if that experiment goes well and someday it's Instagram that's federating, I would seriously consider taking my Instagram account and hopping aboard Pixelfed instead.

More than any of the other ActivityPub services, Pixelfed and Firefish were what made me realize I wanted to back the federated future because those two services really brought home the diversity of options that decentralized social media makes possible.

@dansup @pixelfed Thank you Dan! So very glad you are here! ✊

@dansup @pixelfed what's your pixelfed? I'll give it a follow from mine.

@dansup @pixelfed people who use pixelfed do that for one reason and one reason alone: they don't want meta. your logic is flawed.

@dansup @pixelfed I am new to fedi but was an instagram enjoyer until I realized how sick it made me. I am excited to see pixelfed take off and I think what can be different this time around is we can educate lay people about how to be technologically anticapitalist with FLOSS. if people don't see the "real-world value" of the infrastructure available to them, they aren't gonna know what they're missing. i think the info just needs to be condensed and spread. I'm working on a how to guide thing

Well I love it. Thank you because this is what federation is all about. Everyone else can block the domain on a user level or find/make a Thread-less instance if they don’t like it.
