Pixelfed announces leadership transition

The board of directors of Pixelfed.org that acts as the overall governing body for all Pixelfed activities, today announced that Daniel Supernault will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors.

Tuk Cat, the company’s chief meow officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately.

Also, dogs and any content including dogs are now banned across Pixelfed, effective immediately.

@bitflipped I never meant that Mastodon created webfinger, I meant that they added a common implementation that we (activitypub implementations) use for addressing. Did AP define webfinger addressing?

@jenniferplusplus Now it is, because of Mastodon.

I just want to mention that Mastodon has set the gold standard for this.

We take a lot for granted, like the MastoAPI, Webfinger, and sharedInbox.

These are not defined in the ActivityPub spec, these were contributed by Mastodon/Gargron.

The sharedInbox extension enables instances these large, which is a good thing, most people don't want to install Mastodon to have to use it.

I've found a few perf issues in @pixelfed accounts with 1k+ followers

Fanout and audience delivery are two tricky aspects that require more work, I'm working on this, and exploring ways to make pixelfed <-> pixelfed federation even more efficient!

#pixelfed #activityPub #federation

@jenniferplusplus No they weren't, even Gargron admits that. It was him/Mastodon that contributed them to the spec, I'm sure you can ask @cwebber to verify.

Is it just me or did Mastodon contribute sharedInbox to the ActivityPub spec?

For the amount of VC inquiries Pixelfed has received, I can't imagine how many offers Mastodon gets

Big ups to the big G for not selling out

It takes a lot of love and true dedication to be able to ignore such tempting offers, and really goes to show how dedicated he is to the fediverse, open social platforms and humanity!

I’m on discord, and soon will be on Sup 😉

@heluecht @pixelfed @tio Are you on discord? Consider joining our discord so we can chat and I can help you implement this in Friendica

Luckily we both use php, let me help 😉

Friendica and Firefish are considering implementing Stories that will be @pixelfed compatible!!

This is really exciting, look forward to working with them on this 🤗 #stories

@heluecht @pixelfed omg exciting!! I will write the Story documentation today, shouldn’t be too difficult as we both use PHP so you can understand the Pixelfed code base

As for the front end, I wrote a custom story viewer, but you can also use zuck.js

@heluecht @pixelfed Yes! Are you interested in supporting them too?

Have you tried @pixelfed Stories yet? #stories

I finally got invited to Blue Sky!

Don't worry though, I'm all in on #ActivityPub

@liaizon You think we should block them?

Maybe a separate category could work, curious about the reasoning behind this, I know it will throw off averages and stuff so I'm not against it

A single :pixelfed: server hosts 56% of all pixelfed accounts.

Yeah, it is my instance, and I'm the Pixelfed developer, but this isn't healthy or sustainable. This is why https://pixelfed.social isn't accepting new registrations.

✨ You can find an open server to join on https://pixelfed.org/servers

I've been very careful in how I approach pixelfed development in regards to Instagram and their ToS/trademarks.

This is why you can't crosspost, or otherwise access IG apis via Pixelfed.

They are grasping at straws at this point, along with banning Pixelfed urls, this behavior is desperate.

We must be doing something right 😉
