   Pixelfed will never introduce ads. Ever.

   Multiple acquisition offers this year? All declined. Another one last week? Also declined.

   I built Pixelfed for the people, not shareholders.

   That's why we're exploring Web Monetization - direct creator payments with zero privacy compromise.

   I won't sell out now, or ever.

   I love you too much, and am forever grateful for you helping me come out and become the dev I always dreamed of ❤️

     @dansup awesome, we're all for letting creators monetise their work; after all, everyone's got bills.

     Web Monetisation is a really great way forward, and it should fit nicely with Pixelfed and Loops! We just wish it could handle one-off purchases, then it would work for us too :)

     @dansup wouldn't it be immediately forked anyway after purchase, like the "simple" apps on Android?

     @dansup I respect that too, however aren't you afraid that someone else is going to fork #pixelfed and get massive backing from shareholders to market it like crazy by giving huge ad revenues so that they lure over the users?

     @dansup Tell them they can financially support the work in exchange for a mention for being sponsors/supporters. And that's it. No influence or involvement otherwise.

     @dansup why can't I upload videos? I've tried many sizes and formats, but none can be uploaded.
