     @dansup Hey Daniel, congrats on the great success of the kickstarter campaign!

     Do you plan on releasing info about what the costs are of running such services at scale? Like, I think many times its so easy to detach from this platforms backstage just because we don't see them, and I think its super interesting for everyone to know what a system like this *requires*

     Downloaded the Pixelfed app, will hopefully start having a try these next days <3

     @chaosresearchparty @dansup

     Absolutely, and to add to this: it could help break the myth that you need major firms like Meta, Google to run services like this.

     There’s a pervasive feeling that only they can do what they do. We don’t need to be beholden to them.

     @dansup @jamesjm thats great, thanks for doing it! I know you are a quite small team, so I imagine that right now it might not be your priority, but, do you also have a vision on how would you expand this project as company? I have read somewhere the idea of a non-profit, which sounds amazing. Do you have ideas on how companies could put federated principles and governance into place (beyond the product you are making)?

     I wish you all the luck <3
