Ngl, a few days ago I was considering giving up on @pixelfed
Seeing all the hate and negativity regarding my pf.soc Threads announcement really hit hard
Now I'm more focused than ever on our mission, and building better privacy and safety tools to empower users
Mountains of achievement rise from the valleys of hardship

@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 You are a phoenix. and you are certainly capable of flying to the top of mountains.

@pylapp @pixelfed I appreciate the kind words! I know that Pixelfed isn't for everyone, but I'm optimistic and like to think that I can work hard to change their opinions.
It's not about pleasing everyone, it's about doing the right thing and I think once you can achieve that, the former will come naturally.

@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 :blobcatheart:
You will always find haters and upsetting morons, but you will also find loving people behind you. :activitypub: :fediverse: :blobnomcookie:

@lauraritchie @pixelfed Aww, thank you!! I really appreciate that!
The Solo project I'm working on was the inspiration for that metaphor, and I hope it gives many others the ability to fly high on their own self-hosted small web fediverse server 😁

@dansup @pixelfed Thank you Dan! So very glad you are here! ✊
dansup
@tchambers @pixelfed Thanks man, the fediverse is lucky to have such a dedicated advocate like yourself, you've really made a positive impact and I hope you feel proud!
Laura Ritchie
@dansup @pixelfed seriously, you've hung in there through lots of rubbish and the normal rubbish of testing and glitches and development and have really created something good. You got this.
Tim Chambers
That is quite an honor to hear coming from you, Dan. Can't wait to see the good things you are cooking up next for the Fedi.👍

@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

@dansup @pylapp @pixelfed yeah think of taylor swift-honestly the more you do what you know is right, the more it will grow for the right reasons and in the right way
