The #HOA of the Fediverse never changes!
Not only are they talking about defederating all #Pixelfed servers, but defederating anyone who talks about Pixelfed in a positive manner.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Whatever qualms you may have with Pixelfed, it is a vast improvement over #Instagram—which has moved moderation services over to Texas, and is therefore subject to laws over there.
In contrast, you can run a Pixelfed server wherever you like, in your own country if you choose, or at least in a place with demonstrable better laws than Texas.
But more than that, we don’t get to choose which Fediverse services prove to be popular. Folks from #TikTok and #Instagram are coming to Pixelfed, not #Mastodon, and we should be welcoming them with open arms.

@atomicpoet But… they are talking primarily about the dev’s perceived lack of character, not the software per se.
I like the software, it’s a shame that he is the (not so much) benevolent dictator…
@mar They are talking about the software!
That person is literally saying they’ll not only defederate Pixelfed and Loops, but anyone who talks about it in a positive manner. And what’s more, other people are chiming in and saying they agree with the sentiment – folks that I know and interact with too.
And I’m letting everyone know that, whatever they think of @dansup, Pixelfed is still demonstrably better than Instagram.
At least I used to understand all the words.

@nicholas @atomicpoet @mar @PurpCat Alternate word for "transphobic" because "phobic" is considered "ableist" to some people.
