dansupIt's cute they worried about Meta while posting publicly on the internet.
meanwhile
The NSA and other agencies are storing all your (encrypted) communications that they will be able to decrypt in a decade.
But it's my "shit takes" that are the problem, ok fam.
dansupIf we want the fediverse to be taken seriously, we seriously need to chill.
dansupRemember when the fedi got upset over a shared a list of fedi servers that Meta apparently crawled for AI, without any actual proof?
Also, remember how Meta launched Threads, an ActivityPub service?
Despite my own criticisms regarding Meta, let's be real.
They don't need to crawl the fedi for training data, they kinda run Facebook and Instagram which provides much more data.
Let's not be so quick to grab our pitchforks without legitimate evidence.
dansupShoutout to @lain@lain.com for creating Pleroma - arguably the most technically ambitious fediverse project.
From ActivityPub innovations to sponsoring ElixirConf, they've put their money where their code is.
The fediverse needs more builders, fewer critics.

dansup5. Be honest. Be truthful, sincere, forthright and, unless professional duties require confidentiality or special discretion, candid, straightforward, and frank.

Interesting.
dansup"It seems like your emulating Meta with Pixelfed, Loops and Sup, was that intentional?"
People are creatures of habit.
That doesn't mean we can't improve it though, and get it right by focusing on privacy and safety first instead of ads and shareholders.

dansupBeyond @pixelfed@mastodon.social, @loops@pixelfed.social and @supapp@pixelfed.social, I'm creating the tools and resources our community needs:
https://fediverse.info/
https://fedidb.com/
https://pubkit.net/
https://respectfulplatforms.org/
https://socialweb.network/
https://fedithreat.net/
History remembers the builders, not the critics.
Every commit counts, every launch matters, every initiative pushes us forward - and that's exactly what separates those who create from those who just complain.

dansupCloudflare rolled out new "automated" security settings, which is preventing some Pixelfed users from being able to compose new posts, and worst of all, they are seeing an unexpected error message "Account size limit reached".
I'm working on a fix, and apologize to people that are seeing "You've been blocked" CloudFlare pages.
I'm not sure why they would roll out such a broken "update" and I may migrate away from CloudFlare if I can't resolve these issues.
My apologies 😅
dansupNothing will ever be the same again, but we will never forget you buddy ❤

You gave me purpose when I had none and then watched me build Pixelfed, I just wish we had more time together bud.
Your legacy lives on in Pixelfed, Loops and Sup, but most importantly, in Jake who has all your toys, dog beds and even your fav spot (the couch)
Jake will never replace you though, you're still my baby 🥺
We can meet in my dreams, please. I'm lost without you. The best doggo ever 🫶
