Imagine if creators could earn money on Pixelfed. Not with ads or selling your data. But with ethical forms of monetization, like donations/gifts, subscriptions, and more. A small portion would go to admins who run the server. Just imagine. 😉 #pixelfed #ethicalMonetization

X, Meta and TikTok loosened their rules on hate speech, racism and transphobia. They didn't undermine the open social web. They made the case for it. On Pixelfed and Loops, safety and mental health come first. Always. A roadmap is coming, and you can help shape it. Reply with the safety features you want to see, and we'll turn them into clear goals. Please share/boost so more voices are heard ❤️ #pixelfed #safety #privacy #humanRights

The hardest part of joining the fediverse is the first 10 minutes. https://fediverse.info fixes that. Browse the Apps directory to pick a platform, the People directory to find folks to follow, and Starter Kits to build a feed fast. All discovery is opt-in.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pixeldev/117359435213291999 We just made blocks better and safer for everyone, and made a blueprint (aka FEP) for other software to support this! Available in v0.14.4+ https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/070c/fep-070c.md

Quoting

Pixelfed Engineering

@pixeldev@mastodon.social

Blocks on the fediverse have a consistency problem. When a Block or Undo Block gets lost between servers, the two sides quietly disagree about who blocked whom. Sometimes that means a blocked account can still reach you. Our fix, FEP-070c: Block synchronization across servers, is now accepted as a draft. Pixelfed is the first implementation, merged and shipping in our next release. https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/070c/fep-070c.md #pixelfed #pixeldev #activityPub #fediverse

You showed us how much this matters, and we should have asked you sooner. No single person defines this project. We define it together. And together, we're building the social web we want to see.

We've shipped quite a few releases lately, 8 big releases just this month! While we're quite excited for all the bug fixes and improvements they bring, we also are aware of the burden this puts on our server admins. We want you to know that this period is rare, and we will slow down releases to once a week max going forward. You can blame @dansup@mastodon.social for focusing on Pixelfed (after a year long Loops break), maybe a bit too hard We're still going to ship fixes that you can pull before a release ✨

Pixelfed has never federated Blocks, which can cause some issues, so we came up with a Block Synchronization FEP that is heavily inspired by the Mastodon Follower Collection Sync FEP! Blocks will soon federate, and Pixelfed will be the first implementation to support this Block Sync FEP.
