I will be spending less time working on pixelfed as I get back into freelancing/consulting.

If you are looking for a full stack developer, DM me!

We used to be the #1 alternative to Instagram on https://alternativeto.net/software/instagram/ but someone marked our project as "Discontinued" because registration is closed on a specific instance.

Pixelfed has never been more alive!

https://alternativeto.net/software/pixelfed/

this is no cause for alarm, i guarantee you twitter and facebook alone do MUCH more nefarious things with the DMs they regularly read and comb through, and i can at least speak for myself that ive never had the implication to go pawing through my instance's database to read PMs because like, ugh why thats gross lmao.

but, just never expect privacy on a platform that doesn't provide it, is all. the point of fedi is to publish, not to keep secrets.

anyway dipshit reply guys notwithstanding, periodic reminder and psa that

1 - fedi is just a bunch of postgres databases with a friendly clown interface on them and anything you post is copied to hundreds of them! this is cool and fine and "federation" but it is not private at ALL! there is zero encryption!

2 - as such yes any DM can be found in said database if an instance admin on one of the instances involved in the DM goes pawing through their database. DMs can also be reported by a participant. this is true of any service, incl twitter, facebook, etc because for those messages to be sent they need to... exist, in a database.

A former high-ranking #Mozilla executive has accused #Google of intentionally and systematically sabotaging #Firefox over the past decade in order to boost #Chrome's adoption.

For real though, I don't get why anyone working in science in the 21st century would be anything other than anticapitalist. Or critical of it at the very least. It does nothing but make our lives difficult.

We're all constantly grovelling for funds. Important articles are hidden behind paywalls. We need to pay to get stuff published. And I'm so tired of hearing things like "yes we'd love to hire you, but we don't have any funding right now."

CryptPad v2.20.0 (Upupa) is available, and features a first version of an admin panel, among other things. The full release notes are available on GitHub: https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/releases/tag/2.20.0

Admins should review the notes carefully, as there are many changes!

Want to ship the new https://pixelfed.org on May 17th, exactly one year from when it was launched! I can't wait to share the url instead of screenshots 😁 #pixelfed

Pixelfed will be a year old in a few days.

I'm a high school dropout that has never taken any CS or computer classes.

Web development is just a hobby of mine, I work in the auto industry.

I'm so proud of this project, I never would have imagined that I could make something like this.

Thank you for helping me realize credentialism isn't so important as you think. ❤️
